This man’s haunting story of devastating abuse evolves through years of therapy with Pollack. Yet, as a work of creative nonfiction, the book shares the true life and healing of this man – his abuse, his words, and his poetry.
Throughout the pages, the author highlights Jacen’s poetic descriptions because they beautifully acknowledge his separate personalities and their communication and progression toward integration.
The book chronicles the patient’s childhood memories of abuse and his complex way of coping which helped him to survive his ongoing abuse. The dialogue and relationship that develops among the parts is a soulful and rewarding "dance."
This book was written because Jacen’s story had to be told. His words and poetry deepen one’s understanding of the process of dissociation and offer hope to those who have suffered abuse.
Tango from Chaos to Creativity: How Multiple Personalities Emerge and Move Toward Integration is for anyone who has lost themselves and for the dancer in everyone who seeks truth, beauty, poetry, and connection. Furthermore, it is a story of hope – hope for everyone who has been hurt or abused.
Tango from Chaos to Creativity is an excellent portrayal of the minds ability to cope with unimaginable ordeals of abuse. But more importantly, Tango from Chaos to Creativity offers hope to those who suffer with DID through the use of EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and other techniques..
