I feel like I have found a best friend - my only one ever.
After flailing about in a sea of self-destruction, dissociation and broken
promises, I finally understand why. 'When Rabbit Howls' is a magnificent
account of the most nerve-racking condition in the world, and the most
ingenious - multiple personality. For the woman known as Truddi Chase
to survive the horrific abuse of her childhood, and for her to have given
us
this account, is nothing short of a blessing from God. We understood
every word of this book and will cherish it forever. We finally feel as
though we belong in the world. The Troops have transformed our lives
with their compassion, friendship, understanding and resourcefulness. We
HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone who has endured abuse at the
hands of those with greater power - for whatever reason. After reading
this book, you will understand that "multiple personality" is not a disorder
- it is the best we can do!

You want an insight into Hell? How about 92+ of them?
My mother gave me this book to read when it first was published in 1987
when I was 11 years old. It was incredibly hard for me to fathom, but I
read it time and time again because I could feel the intensity of the story
beyond the words I could not yet comprehend. Now at 22 years old, I
have read this book at least 10+ times...and now that I understand it it
never fails to make me angry.
This woman suffered more hell than anyone in this lifetime ever should
have to...except for perhaps the man that created that hell. As a
survivor...(though not to nearly her degree), I could not help but feel
murderous rage towards this hellspawn of a man that created her worlds
with his wicked hands. It's a graphic story, not forthe faint hearted or
the
weak spirited...it will put you in perspective in all ways, from the naivete
of the child to the awful mature memories ...you will see it through her
eyes; you will be there with her as she relives it.
I thank my mother for giving me this book to read; it was of more help
than a thousand therapy sessions. It's a harrowing, shattered, painful
story
of triumph over what seems to be insurmountable odds; this woman has
been an idol of mine for years, her and the Troops, and one day it would
be a great pleasure to make her aquaintance just to smile at her and say,
"You won."

TELLING EVERYTHING TRUDDI AND THE TROOPS ENDURED
IT IS FASCINATING THAT THE ACTUAL TRUDDI CHASE
WENT TO SLEEP AT TWO YEARS OLD.

heartbreaking yet truthful......
I know and I believe her story because I know her pain as well, as far
as
the abuse goes. For some reason though I didn't "split up" the way she
did. It's so hard to understand. I sometimes wonder if that was a blessing
or a hinderance on my part. I admire the woman, her strength and her
courage. God Bless her over and over again and especially the "child"
who sleeps. May she never have to awaken and face the horror. God
Bless The Troops for being there.

Eye-opening account of MPD--let's me uderstand the voices.
The voices are real; Truddi Chase is real; other MPD's are real. Perhaps
through this telling they may be believed.

excellent
I found the case of Trudi Chase to be one of the most paniful, yet
interesting cases of MP that ever came to be known. Her generation of
"the troops" was something that many of us feel all the time, only amplified
millions of over. Not for the faint of heart though, it's very intense

Personally, the most moving book I have ever read on MPD.
I saw Truddi on The Oprah Winfrey Show some years ago and was truly
moved by her courage to confront the demons. I bought and read her
book a short time later and was shocked at the horrific abuse this little
girl
suffered. Her father was a really sick man. (I wonder if he ever was
punished or at least, if he ever sought treatment.) As I hear about stories
of sexual and physical abuse of young children in our society, I can't
help
but wonder how many psychologically impaired and maimed children will
grow up to be abusers as well. I wish Truddi good luck in her continued
efforts.

The Troops bring you into their world of hate, terror, and abuse. They
bring their own feelings to you, until you can feel their terror and
sympathize with their hate. This book is candid and, at times, disturbing.
Their honesty is very evident and I highly recommend this book if you are
interested in learning about MPD.
