A great book for helping clients learn and practice the self-regulation skills essential to recovering from child abuse. It’s particularly good on dealing with dissociative symptoms.

[It] should be on the bookshelf of every professional who works with survivors [of child abuse].”

A short (44-page) book for people who suffer from Dissociative Identity Disorder (previously known as Multiple Personality Disorder) and people who care about them. It clearly explains how extreme childhood abuse can lead to such fragmentation of experience and identity into different ‘parts’ that can take over behavior while being very disconnected from each other.
