Treating Dissociative Identity Disorder

Rating:
Summary: Self Help Reader
Review: I bought this book thinking more along the lines if "Self Help". I got 1/2 way through and gave it to my Doctor. It was very text book and rather clinical for my abilities but I would suggest that if you are helping a patient with DID this is a good source for referance.

Summary: Compared to the other books on MPD, this is the best.
Review: I've been treating MPD for over a decade, but this book has the best in the field giving us their decades of experience. It really helped me to get current, and improved my clinical practice. I copy Dr. Spira's introductory chapter to give to my patients. I have the hardback, which is no longer available, but the paperback is cheaper anyway.

Summary: Best book I've read on the subject.
Review: This is the best book to date on the subject of DID/MPD. The authors are the leaders in the field, and they offer concise and detailed information about how to treat patients with multiple personalities in in-patient and out-patient settings. Dr. Spira's introductory chapter is especially helpful and offers a good context for the chapters that follow. There are chapters on psychological assessment, the develop of DID, treatments from a variety of perspectives, and even a chapter of psychotropic medications! This is a great book for anyone who has ever treated someone with MPD, or who want to better understand dissociative disorders.
