Product Description
Product Description
Valerie Sinason's Treating Survivors of Satanist Abuse addressed a subject that many professionals working in the field had been uncomfortable discussing. Her work in disability and abuse has consistently broken new ground in addressing subjects that many people have found initially hard to deal with. This new book covers the equally unexplored subject of Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), and is the first major British book available for both clinicians and the intelligent lay public on this subject.
Attachment, Trauma and Multiplicity explains the phenomenon of DID, the conflicting models of the human mind that have been found to try and understand it, the political conflict over the subject, and, with the permission of patients, clinical accounts. Valerie Sinason, along with an impressive array of contributors, covers:
the background history and a description of the condition
issues of diagnoses
treatment issues
the stages of dissociation that lead to full-blown DID
the legal and management problems.
Attachment, Trauma and Multiplicity will be indispensable to professionals in the UK increasingly concerned about their lack of training in this subject and the fear it evokes in them and their teams.

I'm a psychiatrist working with traumatised adolescents. I don't know a lot about dissociative identity disorder but I found this book to be an excellent introduction. It includes chapters by a range of authors with a range of views on DID, so the overall effect is very balanced and non-dogmatic. The contributors are all eminent in the field of trauma in the UK, and the book represents a UK rather than a USA perspective.

I found this book really useful. The vast majority of what is written about the dissociative spectrum is done so in the U.S. It is refreshing to read research that was done in the UK. Because dissociation is a subject that has been in the shadows of Psychiatry and Psychology within the UK, I am really hopeful that this book may encourage more work to be done to undertake research, and to help people who have problems dissociative spectrum.
Fantastic book-highly recommended to interested Psychologists, Psychiatrists, Counsellors. It may also be helpful to those who have dissociative spectrum disorderss, but I would urge care to be taken for such people, since this book does not offer all the answers, it asks more questions, though it may help to see that interest is being taken within this field.
