Editorial Reviews

Review

"Putnam's Diagnosis and Treatment of Multiple Personality Disorder is an excellent text for advanced undergraduates or graduate students. The detailed presentation of stages of treatment is especially useful, and the discussion of boundary management and other therapeutic issues is timely and thought provoking." --David Rainey, Ph.D., Psychology Department, John Carroll University "Demystifies MPD and places it squarely in the mainstream of contemporary knowledge about the impact of childhood trauma. The book promises to be a synthesis of the ideas, techniques, and treatment philosophies about MPD. It delivers on these promises and more. It places MPD in its historical perspective as the disorder that clarifies much about the nature of human consciousness, and now has the potential of helping to unravel the psychobiological linkages between mind and body. The sober, detailed, step-by-step guide through every conceivable aspect of the complex therapy of these patients provides a balanced guide for all clinicians dealing with multiple personality and other dissociative disorders. Putnam's work will be the standard in the field for a long time to come. In breadth of scope, clarity of style, and lucidity of ideas it may even surpass Janet's classic works on the subject." --Bessel van der Kolk, MD, Massachusetts Mental Health Center Trauma Clinic Director, Harvard Medical School, Author of Psychological Trauma

"An encyclopedic volume, certainly the definitive textbook of the disorder." ― Journal of Clinical Psychiatry Published On: 1989-02-05

Multiple Personality books by Putman, et al.

Reviewed in the United States on March 16, 2017

Verified Purchase

I have been ordering quite a few books by experts in the field of Multiple personality. As I am a multiple myself, I am searching for some answers to experiences I have had with my multiplicity. Various specialists, including Putman have in a rather "off the cuff" way expressed their witnessing of completely physical differences between alters; looks, speech, and of the most importance to me, different physical ailments not shared with either the host or the body. I have experienced this phenomenal flux may times. I have had cysts, tumors, suspicious skin spots, perhaps gout, etc. all disappear when examined by a specialist. I have come across a little chat room or something with other MPDs talking about these same issues. The most common issue is the inability to get prescription glasses that work as someone else takes the test. To all of you multiples out there, at least those who are far-sighted, get some bi-focal readers in various strengths. Even with the many books I have read, I have found no specialist in Multiple Personality Disorder who has any empirical evidence to offer, nor a way to allow the host (main alter or alters) to overcome these problems. Does anybody out there have a solution? By the way, if you want a good laugh, read Lowenstien"s DID expose, where the inconvience of something as insignificant as a hang nail can just have one dissociating all over the place. As someone who went through fifteen years of absolute hell, her findings are insulting and redicule and trivialize the years of abuse suffered by most multiples.

The Doctor

A classic volume

Reviewed in the United States on April 28, 2012

Verified Purchase

Putnam's classic book provides a superb presentation of multiple personality disorder as it was conceptualized and treated through the 70s and 80s, prior to the re-characterization of Dissociative Identify Disorder (DID). Etiologically the model assumes traumatic abuse in childhood (as opposed to other traumatic phenomena later in life)and as described treatment includes a structured elicitation of the "alternates"--an approach not now typically used in the treatment of DID. The volume provides both theoretical and case based treatment examples from one of the major thinkers in this area.

This book is very helpful in increasing your understanding and gaining a greater conceptualization of how DID presents. I feel this is a must read for any clinician working with clients with dissociative disorders.

Great classic book. I also recommend his new book "The Way we Are". Anything written by Frank Putnam is a must have for anyone interested in dissociative processes in humans.

excellent once-over

Reviewed in the United States on February 8, 2014

Verified Purchase

This was recommended as reading by the ISSTD for its wide-range approach to DID as a disorder and specifics around treatment. I found it incredibly valuable despite some outdated language and labels. Would definitely recommend it for anyone working with a traumatized population.
