37 to One : Living As An Integrated Multiple
37 to One Living As An Integrated Multiple

by Phoenix J. Hocking
£

"I imagined that most multiples really remained multiples, and those who integrated did so only in books. Until it happened to me. This book... is not about all the trials and tribulations that led to my multiplicity and my ultimate integration. It is only the story of one person, one real person, who found integration and healing in a most unexpected place, and what my life is like as a whole person."
