MANAGING OUR SELVES: BUILDING A COMMUNITY OF CARING is a workbook for persons with Multiple Personalities or Dissociative Disorders & those who work with them, which concentrates on self-management through active decision making & the development of internal collaboration among alters. The author, Elizabeth Power, has successfully applied these models to her personal life as a multiple & has created this workbook to help others reduce the time, trauma, & cost of healing. Empowerment occurs through the workbook's focus on making choices & acting as one's own agent. The workbook itself is appealingly written in a very straightforward & slightly folksy style. Language & graphics have been carefully chosen to minimize the risk of switching, & each segment is short (usually only one page) to accommodate frequent switching of selves.
