I didn't realise that having lots of voices in your head was abnormal. But you are protecting yourself. You are protecting your soul, and that's what I did.'\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn intelligent, poised woman, Jeni Haynes sat in court and listened as the man who had abused her from birth, a man who should have been her protector, a man who tortured and terrified her, was jailed for a non-parole period of 33 years. The man was her father.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eThe abuse that began when Jeni was only a baby is unimaginable to most. It was physically, psychologically and emotionally sadistic and never-ending. The fact she survived may be called a miracle by some - but the reality is, it is testament to the extraordinary strength of Jeni's mind.\u003cbr\u003e   \u003cbr\u003eWhat saved her was the process of dissociation - Multiple Personality Disorder (MPD) or Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) - a defence mechanism that saw Jeni create over 2500 separate personalities, or alters, who protected her as best they could from the trauma. This army of alters included four-year-old Symphony, teenage motorcycle-loving Muscles, elegant Linda, forthright Judas and eight-year-old Ricky.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eWith her army, the support of her psychiatrist Dr George Blair-West, and a police officer's belief in her, Jeni fought to create a life for herself and bring her father to justice. In a history-making ruling, Jeni's alters were empowered to give evidence in court. In speaking out, Jeni's courage would see many understand MPD for the first time.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWith commentary from Dr Blair-West, THE GIRL IN THE GREEN DRESS is an unforgettable memoir from a woman who refused to be silenced.  Jeni Haynes is an inspiration and her bravery and determination to live is a powerful reminder of the resilience of the human spirit.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ","brand":"Hachette Australia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44892066513125,"sku":"NP9780733644856","price":28.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/dfbffe1b-226b-440a-85de-ae9c01699e20.jpg?v=1769124221","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/the-girl-in-the-green-dress-isbn-9780733644856","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
