The author is Joanne Greenberg. She originally published it under the pseudonym "Hannah Green," and you may find an older copy with that name on it instead. I'm not sure what was behind her ultimate decision to put her real name back on the book; possibly because it was instantly recognizable as her to anyone who had known her in the hospital, anyway.
Greenberg wasn't multiple, but she had her own world/dimension ("Yr" in the book; its real name was Iria) and talked to some of its gods. It's also an example of how a single person can have a subjective world, and of how some 'psychotic' people's difficulties can be fixed just with psychotherapy. Unfortunately, from what I've heard, she now believes that she was simply "insane" and was "cured" when she gave up that world.
