Summary: Schizophrenia and Multiple Personality Disorder are Differnt
Review: This is the first time I have read a Hooper novel. I haven't yet finished the book, only half way through. BUT, being a physician, one of my biggest pet peeves is the misconception that Schizophrenia and Multiple Personality Disorder(MPD) are the same. There were many instances in the book when the author was quite confused(almost as confused as the killer). MPD is a very rare disease and much controversy with regards to the diagnosis by many psychiatrists. Nonetheless, the author should have spent just as much time reading up on KNOWN psychiatric disorders as she did on professed "psychic abilities" and reiterating it throughout her book in a dogmatic fashion.
