“In Search of Hidden Treasures: Our Journey of Understanding Dissociative Identity Disorder” by Ria Van Zanten: Written after she had found that “Jennifer” was troubled, not by Demons, but by “Parts”
“As the minister walked down the aisle, Jennifer sat in her seat with her fist tightly clenched, just like she did at home, while we prayed for her. When he walked down the aisle, many demons would manifest, and many people were delivered. However, nothing changed in Jennifer…The minister started to talk about the difference between demons and dissociations, how some people had dissociated parts, and that the parts were not demons. He told us a story about how, while trying to cast out a demon one day, he came across a part he had assumed was a demon. The part said, “I am not leaving, as I am a part of this person.” This statement gave him pause, and he then researched what this could mean…
He spoke about a book that had helped him understand what a ‘part’ of a person meant. We bought the book called ¨Uncovering the Mystery of MPD” by Dr. James G. Friesen (2). We were excited to have an answer for Jennifer (1, pp. 12-13).
