This book was recommended to me by one of my psychotherapy clients as a way to prove that it's just as good for dissociated child and teen parts not to grow up as it is to grow up, become integrated and deal with life's issues in a mature manner. Thankfully, it says that's an option, but doesn't say it's really a good idea. I find it to be a good book to read thoroughly, underlining anything that seems to be right or questionable so it's easy to go back and make sure you thought it was really saying what you originally thought.
