Treating Dissociative Identity Disorder presents a new, integrative model for describing and treating Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID). The goal of the book is to reconcile two opposing characterizations of DID-that the disorder can genuinely and fully fragment the personality of an individual, and that the impression of a fragmented personality is illusory. Dr. Krakauer discusses problems associated with memory reconstruction, memories of traumatic life events, and other controversies relating to more than one personality controlling the behavior of one individual. The author details a treatment model involving a sequence of interventions, and supports the points of the book through the use of a wealth of clinical case material.

Excellent Resource,
By Maggie (Pennsylvania) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Treating Dissociative Identity Disorder: The Power of the Collective Heart (Hardcover)
I am a psychotherapist who works with trauma survivors. The techniques outlined in Dr. Krakauer's book are excellent whether dissociation is a factor or not. I have used many of the techniques outlined in her book with various clients who experience extreme dissociation. Both my clients and I find the techniques gentle, insightful, and helpful. The book is written in a manner that made it easy to readily incorporate the techniques into my work. The author's theory that all people have access to a wise, strong, internal resource was my own theory and experience prior to finding her book. It is a valuable reference in my library.

Treating Dissociatve Identity Disorder:The Power of the Collective Heart,
By Ginny Godfrey "GGodfrey" (Morganton NC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Treating Dissociative Identity Disorder: The Power of the Collective Heart (Hardcover)
Excellent! Comprehensive, practical, and professional guidance for helping those who suffer with a dissociative disorder lead healthy and productive lives. This book showcases a specific treatment technique which is based upon the "Collective Heart" model - a phrase coined by one of the author's patients. The differentiating factor of this particular therapeutic modality is the assertion that the patient is capable of tapping into their own inner wisdom with the aid of structured relaxation techniques, and is then able to access what is known to be the internal "executive authority" as a means to repair their fragmented personality system. The author has clearly outlined these techniques and has demonstrated favorable outcomes in her case-study depictions. This book comes highly recommended for any clinician who has a rigorous and contemporary interest in the successful treatment of dissociative disorders.
