Fine in a near fine dust jacket with the rare original wraparound band. Jacket design by Michael McIver. Housed in a custom half morocco clamshell box with a pictorial inlay. An exceptional presentation. In 1954 Drs. Thigpen adn Cleckley wrote a technical article "A Case of Multiple Personality" for the Journal of Abnormal and Social Psychology. This appeared before they had completed the work on the case. The Three Faces of Eve is an extension of that collaboration - a complete account of this extraordinary case which is likely to engage the lay reader's interest as vividly as that of physicians and professional workers in psychology and sociology. Eve White was a shy saintly housewife and mother. Eve Black was a coarse seductive beauty with a passion for drinking dancing and the company of strangers. Jane was the third Eve. She was a mature poised woman - but her tormented soul held the key to Eve's deepest mystery. They were all one woman - and they were all unlike the Eve that finally emerged. McGraw-Hill hardcover
