Truddi Chase
Author of When Rabbit Howls, the first autobiographical account of Multiple Personality Disorder by a client rather than by their therapist.Chase tells a story of violent sexual abuse and physical abuse in childhood. Unlike the classical, Sybil-type MPD victim, Chase actually remembered that she had been molested by her stepfather and beaten by her mother, though she could not focus on details before going into therapy. She was able to capture the details and emotions surrounding the events with the help of a hypnotherapist, who also assisted her through the discovery of her other selves. But Chase also includes some controversial elements such as telepathy and reincarnation. Some multiple groups find her descriptions of her own "amazing powers" frustrating, particularly since she conveys the impression that all multiples possess such gifts.
