Press Reviews
Valerie Sinason, PhD MInstPsychoanal FIPD, Founder and Patron, Clinic for Dissociative Studies
Congratulations to an important new addition to our bravely-growing field! This is a thoughtful up-to-date encyclopaedic handbook by an expert through lived experience who has thoroughly and respectfully researched and reflected on key issues.
Anne Lagemaat, expert by experience, founder of DIS is me, an online initiative in the Netherlands about DID/OSDD
This clear, empathetic and accessible work, written with an open mind by someone with lived experience, offers a thorough look at the many ways DID and OSDD are understood and managed. With practical tools for healing and support, it's a valuable resource for people with DID/OSDD, loved ones, professionals and the wider public.
Claudia, person with DID
As someone that was harmed by mental health professionals' misunderstanding and stigma of DID, I feel this book should be mandatory for them. I encourage everyone with DID to have this book by their side. I have felt so validated, and the guidance has provided me with comfort and reassurance.
From the foreword by Dr. Adrian A. Fletcher/BlenDID System, multilayered human and psychologist
As a human and professional psychologist living with DID, my own system of PARTs have waited years for a book like this one. Ella has provided us with a simple to understand guide. The information shared with us is delivered in a clear, kind, and compassionate way that few others can offer us as a population of people living with DID.
