　　One afternoon in 1989, Karen Overhill walks into psychiatristRichard Baer’s office complaining of vague physical pains anddepression. Odder still, she reveals that she’s suffering from apersistent memory problem. Routinely, she “loses” parts of her day,finding herself in places she doesn’t remember going to or beingtold about conversations she doesn’t remember having. Her problemsare so pervasive that she often feels like an impersonator in herown life; she doesn’t recognize the people who call themselves herfriends, and she can’t even remember being intimate with her ownhusband.

  Baer recognizes that Karen is on the verge of suicide and, whiletrying various medications to keep her alive, attempts to discoverthe root cause of her strange complaints. It’s the work of months,and then years, to gain Karen’s trust and learn the true extent ofthe trauma buried in her past. What she eventually reveals isnearly beyond belief, a narrative of a childhood spent grapplingwith unimaginable horror. How has Karen survived with even atenuous grasp on sanity?

  Then Baer receives an envelope in the mail. It’s marked withKaren’s return address but contains a letter from a little girl whowrites that she’s seven years old and lives inside of Karen. SoonBaer receives letters from others claiming to be parts of Karen.Under hypnosis, these alternate Karen personalities revealthemselves in shocking variety and with undeniable traits—bothphysical and psychological. One “alter” is a young boy filled withfrightening aggression; another an adult male who considers himselfKaren’s protector; and a third a sassy flirt who seeks dominanceover the others. It’s only by compartmentalizing her pain, guilt,and fear in this fashion—by “switching time” with alternate selvesas the situation warrants—that Karen has been able to functionsince childhood.

  Realizing that his patient represents an extreme case of multiplepersonality disorder, Baer faces the daunting task of creating atherapy that will make Karen whole again. Somehow, in fact, he mustgain the trust of each of Karen’s seventeen “alters” and convincethem of the necessity of their own annihilation.

  As powerful as Sybil or The Three Faces of Eve, Switching Time isthe first complete account of such therapy to be told from theperspective of the treating physician, a stunningly devoted healerwho worked selflessly for decades so that Karen could one day liveas a single human being.

  From the Hardcover edition.
