Features: This book narrates a true story – Billy Milligan is a suspect in American history who committed serious crimes but was ultimately acquitted because he was a multiple personality disorder patient. It is a factual novel about multiple personality disorder. Billy's story in 1977, in Ohio, USA, involved the suspect Billy Milligan being arrested for multiple rape cases. However, he had no memory of the crimes he had committed. In fact, there were four personalities inside him (including Billy). These personalities were not only different in personality but also in intelligence, age, nationality, and gender. How did these incredible personalities come into being? Billy, who had his consistent consciousness stripped away, attempted suicide multiple times, and whose spirit was forcibly suppressed, how was he in this chaotic state of multiple personality disorder? Facing this fact, how did the judge make his decision...? "Multiple personality" is a profound and difficult-to-understand professional knowledge, but under the author's writing in the form of a factual novel, all the processes are stripped bare like exposed rock layers, peeled away layer by layer; moreover, under the atmosphere of deductive interest, it tightly grips the reader's emotions and focus, truly an extraordinary factual novel in the country. After reading this book, readers are bound to gain something spiritually and psychologically, and will also have a more correct understanding of mental patients.
