Product Description
Review
This book is a much-welcomed tool for working with individuals with complex trauma. Although there are other training manuals that address the treatment of trauma, there is none that deal specifically with the subset of dissociative pathology. This manual is the first of its kind, a hands-on and practical training and skill-building tool for individuals and therapists. . . . The book has a user-friendly approach that is integrative and eclectic and can easily be introduced and incorporated in ongoing treatment. . . . For therapist and clients, navigating complex trauma can feel daunting and confusing with many stops and falls that may leave both feeling discouraged. This book is an anchor for the work, a place to return when uncertainty invades treatment.
Product Description
This book is a skills training manual for individuals with trauma-related dissociative disorders (Dissociative Identity Disorder and Dissociative Disorder, Not Otherwise Specified). There is no other training manual that exists for complex trauma survivors with dissociative disorders. This group is a significant subset of mental health consumers (up to 10% have DDNOS, and between 1-4% have DID). Although there are several skills manuals that address trauma, none address the specific needs of individuals with severe and chronic dissociation. The approach is eclectic and integrative, drawing from accepted theories and models of treatment which have been used successfully with chronically traumatised individuals. The book may be used by patients and their treating clinicians in the course of an individual therapy as well as in structured group settings (both outpatient, day treatment or inpatient).

Format:Paperback
This book is set out as a manual for running groups for people living with Complex PTSD, Dissociative Identity Disorder or Dissociative Disorder (Otherwise Specified). It can be used as a semi-structured guide to one-to-one therapy too.
Suzette Boon has co-written it with Kathy Steele and Onno van der Hart [ASIN:0393704017 The Haunted Self (Norton Series on Interpersonal Neurobiology)with Ellert Nijenhuis], based on groups run in the Netherlands for a decade. The manual covers stablization, affect regulation, safety and skills building and is designed to work alongside individual therapy. This approach is informed by the three phase approach put forward by Judith Hermann and advocated in Sensorimotor Psychotherapy: 1) Stabilization (emotion regulation and safety in the present, self care: physical and emotional); 2) Processing trauma memories; 3) Rehabilitation. The groups concentrate on phases 1) and 3) - they are not the place for phase 2 work because of the importance of doing this within a relationship and the risk of destabilizing other members. The book is informed by developments in neuroscience and 'bottom-up' therapeutic approaches, proposing work at the body level as well as the cognitive and emotional. This makes these groups uniquely appropriate for dissociative clients and survivors of complex abuse. This field has highlighted the re-traumatising effect of cognitive and emotional psychotherapy, teaches understanding of brain process and self-regulation of autonomic arousal, and prioritising safety in therapy.

Format:Paperback
Being DID isn't the problem. Not being able to cope with dissociative and post-traumatic symptoms is the problem. This book addresses a real gap in the literature - we may be able to detail the aetiology of dissociative disorders, we may even be familiar with advances in recent neuroscientific research, but no-one has previously written (or at least not as cogently and comprehensively as this) about how to actually LIVE with either Dissociative Identity Disorder and Dissociative Disorder Not Otherwise Specified (DDNOS) - and how to work towards recovery. This book is practical, accessible and REAL, with very concrete and specific exercises to work on that help in the first phase of DID recovery - safety and stabilisation. I can't recommend it highly enough. Every DID/DDNOS survivor should have a copy of this book, let alone every therapist.

Format:Paperback
A well written, insightful and compassionate resource for those who experience dissociation or other consequences of trauma. Lots of practical, grounded self-help information.
Also a helpful manual for clinicians written in the form of group programme. Incorporates some CBT, mindfulness and PTSD stabilisation techniques.
Would be a good accompaniment to other therapy, such as DBT or psychotherapy or as a stand alone approach.
I use this daily with people who have been traumatised.
