Are you suffering with emotional or psychological problems? Some are suffering with an identity crisis of enormous stature. Who am I? Why do I do the things I do? Why can't I remember my childhood? Where are these horrific nightmares and flashbacks coming from? When one suffers traumatic events, they may "check out" and develop another personality. You do not have to live this way. This Book Will Help You To: . Recognize the source of flashbacks and nightmares. . Understand how it is impossible for a born again Christian to be "possessed". . Discern how a spirit becomes the "strongman" in a person's life. . Recognize why one displays characteristics of two different people. . Explain what can happen when a demon invades and influences a person's mind. . Reveal the spiritual nature of MPD and how to address it spiritually. . Read others' experiences of deliverance and restoration. Phillip came to Houston in 1979 to attend Gulf Coast Bible College, graduated from Christian College of America with a degree in Psychology/Counseling, and a Master of Arts in Pastoral Counseling from Houston Graduate School of Theology. He earned his Doctor of Philosophy in Theology from Christian Bible College and Seminary. In 1982 God thrust Phillip into the deliverance ministry and called him to "establish the church" by "setting the captives free." Phillip founded Restoration House Church in 1992. His previous books include "Spiritual Connections to Personality Disorders," "Body Piercing," and "Walking Out Your Deliverance." Dr. Morris travels to teach and minister spiritual warfare and deliverance locally and internationally.

This account of multiple personality disorder (MPD) and related dissociative disorders presents the latest findings leading to a new model of MPD and a new therapeutic approach to its treatment. The book examines the large cluster of symptoms and dysfunctions associated with MPD, focusing on diagnosis, clinical features, and the relationship of MPD to other diagnoses. Data and clinical evidence are presented for a widely-accepted, but as yet unproven hypothesis that MPD arises as a dissociative strategy for coping with severe childhood trauma, usually involving physical or sexual abuse.

Nicholas P. Spanos, one of the world's leading experts in the study of hypnosis, delivers a blistering rebuttal to many long-held assumptions about Multiple Personality Disorder, or MPD, now classified in the DSM-IV as Dissociative Identity Disorder or DID. This book argues that MPD is not a legitimate psychiatric disorder but a cultural construct with roots in earlier beliefs about demonic possession.

Adult patients exhibit core symptoms: voices in the head and ongoing blank spells or periods of missing time. The voices are the different parts of the personality talking to one another and to the main, presenting part of the person who comes for treatment. Periods of missing time occur when aspects of the personality take turns being in control of the body and memory barriers are erected between them. Patients also experience symptoms such as depression, anxiety, eating disorders, substance abuse, sleep disorders, sexual dysfunction, psychosomatic symptoms, and symptoms that mimic schizophrenia. MPD patients have experienced the most extreme childhood trauma of any diagnostic group and therefore exhibit the psychobiology and psychopathology of trauma to an extreme degree. The good news is that once diagnosed, the MPD patient can be brought back to health.This book is important for all mental health professionals, and also for the general reader interested in psychiatric phenomena.

Have you ever heard of a person who left you wondering, "How could someone be so twisted? So evil?" Prompted by clues in her sister’s diary after her mysterious death, author Barbara Oakley takes the reader inside the head of the kinds of malevolent people you know, perhaps all too well, but could never understand. Starting with psychology as a frame of reference, Oakley uses cutting-edge images of the working brain to provide startling support for the idea that "evil" people act the way they do mainly as the result of a dysfunction. In fact, some deceitful, manipulative, and even sadistic behavior appears to be programmed genetically—suggesting that some people really are born to be bad. Oakley links the latest findings of molecular research to a wide array of seemingly unrelated historical and current phenomena, from the harems of the Ottomans and the chummy jokes of "Uncle Joe" Stalin, to the remarkable memory of investor Warren Buffet. Throughout, she never loses sight of the personal cost of evil genes as she unravels the mystery surrounding her sister’s enigmatic life—and death. Evil Genes is a tour-de-force of popular science writing that brilliantly melds scientific research with intriguing family history and puts both a human and scientific face to evil.
