A few days after the ceremony I ordered your book. I had time before starting a new position as a social worker. I read it in one day! ST captured not only my interest but my heart. I cried at the end when Richard Baer hugged you. The love felt in the book between the both of you was inspirational.<\/div>\n<div>I am glad to have read your book before I begin my career. I don\u2019t understand why Switching Time wasn\u2019t a required part of our studies? What a benefit it could\u2019ve been to gain the knowledge of Richard Baer\u2019s treatment of you and your determination to heal. I sent off an email to my entire address book sharing your book.<\/div>\n<div>Thank you kindly, for the both of you have changed my thoughts on MPD\/DID. Why isn\u2019t your book easily available? I ordered my copy on-line.<\/div>\n<div>Barbara<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/blockquote>\n<div>Dear Barbara,<\/div>\n<div>Congratulations on beginning your new position\u00a0as a social worker. \u00a0I appreciate your sharing your thoughts on\u00a0how valuable <em>Switching Time<\/em> was to you, and how you believe\u00a0that our book should be a required part of a social\u00a0worker&#8217;s and therapist&#8217;s\u00a0studies. Dr. Baer and I\u00a0also believe and hope that S<em>witching Time<\/em> will provide an excellent case study for new, upcoming students, as well as those already in practice throughout the health care field. MPD\/DID is a real illness that needs to be acknowledged and studied.<\/div>\n<div>Dr. Baer and I\u00a0hope that \u00a0more teachers will hear about our book and use it in their classrooms. \u00a0As a matter of fact, Dr. Baer and I will be sending out a copy of our book to many colleges soon.\u00a0 Our book is availbale in most bookstores, in airports, and online. <em>S<\/em><em>witching Time<\/em> is also available in most public libraries.<\/div>\n<div>Thank you for all your compliments, thoughts, and suggestions.<\/div>\n<div>Karen<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Comment from Barbara on 23 May 2009 at 5:58 pm Hi Karen!
