A Caution

I’m not in a place to comment on the whole book but I found that the “scientific evidence” put forward in the section on dissociative identity disorder was actually not reflective of the wider scientific literature and is intentionally misleading. True dissociative identity disorder is a real disorder visible on fMRI scans and is caused by extreme and prolonged childhood trauma. It has nothing to do with demons or demonic possession (even if an alter claims to be a demon) and to conflate these things is harmful to an already vulnerable population. This book also views the host (the alter who spends the most time in the body) the true person and dismisses the other alters as made up, this is not true, all alters are real people who need the God’s love poured on them through gospel more than anything else.
