When Rabbit Howls Mass Market Paperback – International Edition, April 1, 1990

This book is a GREAT READ

I do not even know where to start with this book. First thing, TRIGGER WARNING. If you are not on a healing journey this book WILL send you into a spiral. Especially if your abuse is from childhood. Considering how many Troops there are this book is written so well. One of the best written books I have ever read and I read a lot. The ability of the author to describe herself is amazing. She is so clear and succinct. I truly admire Trudy & her Troops. If you like non-fiction and thought provoking books this is it. Just be careful. I am in my healing journey and it is a lot. This may not be a quick read for you due to the topic. I can do about 10-12 pages at a time. Highly recommend!!

A haunting account of one of the worst cases of child abuse I've ever heard. The strength it took the Troops to come together in such a unique and beautiful way to get their story out and prove to the world they exist will never cease to amaze me. It was difficult to read some parts, either due to my own anger for the Troops' suffering or triggers related to my own trauma, but astounding all the same. I would highly recommend this book to anyone desiring to know more about DID (as MPD is now diagnosed) or child abuse and how to support someone working through it themselves. The devastation left in this woman's life by her stepfather and mother is harrowing. But she, along with 92 other "selves" in the Troop Formation, was able to create something incredible for the world.

This is a really hard book to process, in large part because of the degree to which it deviates from how people "normally" process or perceive the world. The introduction warns that much of what you'll read in this book reads as science fiction and that is true, and certainly some reads as fantasy as well, in addition to touching on things of a spiritual nature. These are the things that makes it hard to process, I think, but it's also what makes the book such an important work. Books like this are important parts of stepping outside of our own lived experiences to develop empathy and understanding for people with such different systems and lives, and that is a vital part of dispelling stigmas and myths and creating solutions -- both for healing and for prevention of the types of abuses you'll read about in this book

I was a child when Truddi Chase chose to step forward and introduce the world to Multiple Personality Disorder now know as Dissociative identity Disorder. Coming from a very conservative religion (i.e. restricted) I knew nothing of her at that time. 32years ago in 1990 I received my DID diagnosis and was swiftly excluded,shunned, excommunicated what have you. As demon possessed for accepting my multiplicity and seeking secular therapy.So although When The Rabbit Howls was recommended by my therapy team years ago. I didn't read outside of the Dissociative identity Disorder Sourcebook out of fear.Now that I have read it I wish that, I had not let my fears make me wait this long. This quote will stick with me. " There is no harmless trespass against a child, no matter what it is called. "Amen to that quote. I came away from this book with the validation that S.A. abuse from a step parent shouldn't be viewed any different than a biological one. As they were brought in and given authority over the child. For years I have heard the opposite.Although there are wide differences between Truddi and The Troops, and my life. I understood her. Coming away with a sense of not being a oddity that should continue to hide my reality.Beyond grateful this book is out there and would highly recommend to others in the Multiple \Dissociative community.

The book was used, and had scribble of the front jacket. The book came as described and I have enjoyed reading it. It gets a little confusing at times because it is a MP writing the book, but its so good!! The poor woman.

A friend of mine passed Sybil my way and it kept me reading non-stop. This book is similar in the MPD aspect but the story is definately unique. I enjoyed how you read the book throught different eyes and opinions but was looking for a little more punch. Is it wrong to want more details, no matter how awful they are? The book spent a lot of time telling her story without actually 'telling' it. While it kept me coming back for more (I read it on my lunch break, while waiting in line, ect) I was dissapointed the book didnt give more exact past history. I realize since her past was horrific how awful that may sound, but its the truth.

Recently, I was faintly reminded of this book. I searched my 65 yr. old mind for what I knew I was remembering. I searched and searched again. Finally! I found it and knew I had to read this again, with my matured mind. I don't remember it being so deeply painful. I was able to understand her journey, better than before. I had read this book in my late twenties, early thirties, very much closer to trying to process my own abuse. I've learned empathy and the ability to finally let go....it no longer serves it's purpose. Ms. Chase, I am in awe of you and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing your road to life.

Libro bastante interesante.

It’s hard to follow up those all personalities and figure out which one is talking.

Good.
