Mildly helpful for those with MPD
In order to truly get something from the book, you have to be up on postmodernism.If you are someone with MPD, I suggest you search "postmodernism" at Wikipedia before deciding whether this book might be worth your time. I did read the book, and as my review title states, I found it to be only mildly helpful, but Ifound several interesting books in the Reference section for further reading.
confusing
I thought this book was very confusing. I have did (mpd) and got this book hoping to find a place for more information on this disorder. I was very dissapointed. The book focused not on mpd but on political issues and described more about postmodernism than it did about multiple personalitydisorder. ... Read more

A Lost America Needs a Guide to Find Its Way Back
When I saw my friends recently reading new books like Dan Brown's Da Vinci Code or Harry Potter books, I wondered what the fuss was all about.They were all works of fiction that were cheap imitations.After all, my mum gave me a copy of Little Voices, and this book is the Real McCoy!And by Jove!What a guide! While America loses its way, it refuses to ask for directions, splits itself like a pea-nut and denies that the image on the mirror is itself.Seeing the humour in all this is the best part, and that's where Little Voices shines!

Little Voices
I am a man with schizoaffective dissorder and it's similar to what the author of this book has. I liked it mainly because it is his voice and from his point of view. Most of the books about schizophrenia out there are from a third person or a affected female. The first part of the book is the best. Very real in his discription. I'm on Zyprexa and I wish the author would take something also because he still seems somewhat lost. I wish the author luck and it has inspired me to write down things that I experianced. It's a good read, probably not the best, but I belive it shows an authentic view of a schizophrenic. ... Read more

In Search of My Own Sanity
This book has completely blown my mind. Chapters such as "Kill Kill Kill" really brougt me to a new emotional depth, one that I hope I never experience again. I remember crouching in a dark corner reading I.S.O.S., eyes bloodshot and mouth foaming. I would lie in my bed for days at a time pouring over the pages in search of my own sanity. Then I stopped reading it and I became a happy bus driver again.

The effects of I.S.O.S.
I really can't describe very well what this book has done for me.It gave me a new insight into the realm of the psychologically ill.I really started... feeling what the author went through.I could feel what he felt, I thought the things he did.I simply underwent the same experiences he did, through this book.I believe that Gregory Stefan has achieved a new level of writing, one that can funnel raw emotion into the readers' mind. ...

"Surviving Schizophrenia" a Brilliant and Informative Book!
As a schizophrenia sufferer, I have been healthy from delusions for the past eleven years, but have been unable to hold down a "real job", as it were, for just as long, having only been able to cope with limited voluntary work and supported work instead, due to the illness. I'm well, but my problem is that I don't have much capacity, and the pressure and stress of a real job is too much for me because of my affliction.

There are only one way to understend Anti Oedipus
Hi friends, may you think: I can't read the Anti Oedipos!!! Am I right??? I tell you: not are wrong. The book of Deluze and Guattari almost made me crazy. But searching in Amazon I found this wonder: the book of E. Holland. So, when I read this book the things fastly, but very fastly, were clear.
This book saved my life...
...well not really, but it did help make the hours and hours and hours I spent reading Anti-Oedipus a much more fullfilling, meaningful experience, and for that, I am extremely grateful.
This guy is good
Back in the early 90s when I wrote an MA thesis and wanted to use concepts like "deterritorialization" there were absolutely NO good commentaries on D&G in English (Massumi's "users guide" is great, but it is no users guide).Things have changed, and Holland's book is one of the best commentaries around.And it is specifically on their least accessible of the "Capitalism and Schizophrenia" series.
