When Rabbit Howls	comment	When Rabbit Howls is a 1987 autobiography by "The Troops" (the collective name for the author's multiple personalities) writing for Truddi Chase.From the age of two until the age of eighteen, Truddi endured horrific sexual and physical abuse at the hands of her stepfather and her mother, finally managing to escape to the city, where she becomes a real estate mogul and a freelance commercial artist with a husband and child of her own.Yet beneath her outward success, the woman who calls herself Truddi is beset by free-floating fear, periodic blackouts, flicks of terrible memories, and a strange sense of distance from her own day-to-day life. Her explosive anger and unpredictable nature cause her husband to take their daughter and divorce Truddi, finally driving her to seek help, even as she fears the worst. Her therapist discovers that Truddi is not really a person, but a "shell" created as a unified front for the ninety-two "Troops" who present themselves through her. Together, they reveal a shocking truth: the original personality, the "first-born child", ceased to exist decades ago. The Troops are all that remain.As the Troops begin to share their memories with each other, they make the collective decision to tell their story to the outside world in order to reveal the devastating impact of child abuse, insisting on filming each therapy session to be shared with the psychologist's students, as well as with abuse victims, law enforcement, and perpetrators. The Troops will remain silent no longer—except for a tiny child named Rabbit, who can no longer speak, but only howls in pain.

The selves make the body look taller or shorter, have a slightly rounder or thinner face, etc. depending on their posture and muscle tension/relaxation. You can see this in films of their television appearances.

In spite of her "deadened" nature, Grace is very much capable of expressing emotion and preferences just as any other Troop member (as evidenced in a rather charming scene where she informs The Woman how she likes her coffee).

When Rabbit Howls / int_730c2e3	comment	Void Between the Worlds: The space where The Woman exists when the other Troops assume the consciousness, it is described as a White Void Room of perfect, blissful peace, completely empty of internal or external input. At one point, Stanley uses hypnosis as he normally does and tries to communicate with Rabbit; the Troops deliberately withdraw all their memories at once, allowing the woman to experience the Void for the first time while conscious. Ean tells Twelve this is an opportunity to let the woman feel like she has choices. It's so beautiful that she's reluctant to come back.note The Troops deny that this is in any way, shape or form a mystical or spiritual experience; they detest religion and New Age ideas, and words relating to religion — god, jesus, christian, etc. — are never capitalized. Many are atheists, others like Ean are agnostics ("Believe as y' will, but god, if he be a'tal, is not a single, far-off entity teachin' through fear those less than he be. There is nothin' t' teach. The knowledge is already inside each man on earth, merely waitin' t' be tapped.").

As with Mrs. Greenwood, he did not exist in real life. Same with Dr. Marshall Fielding, who is a fictional character meant to embody all that the Troops learned about multiple personality and their own experiences being plural. These characters are so carefully detailed that some readers have mistaken them for actual persons.

The less mystically minded interpret Ean as an internalized version of Truddi's beloved Irish grandfather. In a 1983 article about the Troops, long before the book came out, Ean was described as "a heavy-set, short-tempered Irishman who lectures at length in a heavy brogue. Ian [sic] tends to surface around men and engages them in heated philosophical discussions. Chase grumbles that she hates driving after Ian has emerged because "he" always pushes the car seat back too far for her to reach the pedals."

Some of the Troops do say "my". Many of the Troops themselves have this sort of name: The Outrider, The Junkman, The Seventh Horseman, The Weaver, The Collector, etc. It's suggested that they each have proper names (The Outrider is Elvira, The Zombie is Grace), but as Black Katherine points out, giving a name gives another person some measure of power over you. The Woman may be the primary example of this, having no name of her own since it turns out she's only an empty facade to present to the world.

And then subverted, as later in life Truddi& speak with counselors at a center in Maryland called "A Woman's Place"note not the famous anti-domestic-violence women's center founded in 1976, although it does have a Baltimore location; this was an ob-gyn clinic run entirely by women doctors and staff. In Voices Within, they discover a child-abuse hotline. that leads them to understand that attitudes toward child abuse have changed. Mrs. Greenwood (one of the characters the Troops made up for the book to embody the many tough but empathetic agency staff they'd consulted) tells Stanley that a billboard with a child abuse hotline number had to be taken down because they got swamped; 750 verified calls in the first 24 hours. Mrs. Greenwood also relates a heartbreaking fact; Truddi& told her they had visited a library looking for information about abuse, but were unable to find any books. The librarian tells them that abused children come and check out every book on child abuse in order to know they're not alone.

The first time the woman notices two selves (Mean Joe and Miss Wonderful) using the body at the same time,note Yes, "co-running" is possible, even normal for multiples. They can even talk out loud with each other — think about this the next time you see someone talking into thin air. Even if they've got a Bluetooth on their ear. That could be a multiple using the device as a cover. Again, this can help the selves communicate.
