Review
This is a book which is both intellectually and emotionally challening, but one which practitioners in the therapy field disregard at their peril for not only does it present new and controversial ideas, but there is important discussion on the pitfalls and dangers to both sufferers of DID and to their therapists. - Lynn Barnett, Psychodynamic Practice, 2004

Product Description
Valerie Sinason's work in disability and abuse has consistently broken new ground in addressing subjects that many people have found initially hard to deal with. This new book covers the equally unexplored subject of Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID).

Attachment, Trauma and Multiplicity explains the phenomenon of DID, the conflicting models of the human mind that have been found to try and understand it, the political conflict over the subject, and, with the permission of patients, clinical accounts. Valerie Sinason, along with an impressive array of contributors, covers: the background history and a description of the condition, issues of diagnoses, treatment issues, the stages of dissociation that lead to full-blown DID, and legal and management problems.

Attachment, Trauma and Multiplicity will be indispensable to professionals in the UK increasingly concerned about their lack of training in this subject and the fear it evokes in them and their teams.
