Editorial Reviews

Review

"An unequivocally superb work, this text will quickly become a prized reference mainstay for any serious mental health practitioner concerned with enriching his or her evaluation, assessment and intervention strategies involved in the treatment of dissociative disorders. It fills a long recognized professional need by bringing together in a single volume the best and latest of what is known about the concept of dissociation and its value as a survival mechanism of childhood sexual assault. The author is commended for the skill with which she presented both theoretical and clinical concepts in a comprehensive approach to an increasingly visible phenomenon."-- "Family Violence & Sexual Assault Bulletin"
