Synopsis
In 1989, Robert B. Oxnam, the successful China scholar and president of the Asia Society, faced up to what he thought was his biggest personal challenge: alcoholism. But this dependency masked a problem far more serious: Multiple Personality Disorder. At the peak of his professional career, after having led the Asia Society for nearly a decade, Oxnam was haunted by periodic blackouts and episodic rages. After his family and friends intervened, Oxnam received help from a psychiatrist, Dr. Jeffrey Smith, and entered a rehab center. It wasn't until 1990 during a session with Dr. Smith that the first of Oxnam's eleven alternate personalities--an angry young boy named Tommy--suddenly emerged. With Dr. Smith's help, Oxnam began the exhausting and fascinating process of uncovering his many personalities and the childhood trauma that caused his condition. This is the powerful and moving story of one person's struggle with this terrifying illness. The book includes an epilogue by Dr. Smith in which he describes Robert's case, the treatment, and the nature of multiple personality disorder. Robert's courage in facing his situation and overcoming his painful past makes for a dramatic and inspiring book., In the tradition of "An Unquiet Mind" comes the heartbreaking memoir of a prominent scholar's long journey to put the pieces of his fractured life together., In 1989, Robert B. Oxnam faced up to what he thought was his biggest personal challenge: alcoholism. But this dependency masked a problem far more difficult to accept - Dissociative Identity Disorder, or multiple personalities. Oxnam was haunted by blackouts and rages that he thought were caused by alcohol, until, during a therapy session in 1990, he blacked out and the first of his 11 alternate personalities surfaced. Narrated in the voices of the various personalities, My Fractured Mind is a powerful and moving story of this terrifying illness.
