Summary: Absolutely NOT for women only.
Comment: As both a recently diagnosed multiple and a male, I must say that this book is not just for women as was indicated by a previous reviewer. I was mis-diagnosed by two different therapists who told me I either had clinical depression or borderline personality disorder. They both dismissed my description of personal experiences with dissociation out of hand, including an episode that very nearly ruined my life and sent me into threapy to begin with. One of them wanted to have his psychiatrist associate treat me with drugs, and both thought that "brief" therapy was all I needed (neither of which are effective with DID). Then I found this book and it changed my life. Seeming to confirming my suspicions, I devoured the book in a week. This gave me the courage to take three separate instruments, (SCID-D, DDIS, and DES) that this book acquainted me with. After they all indicated positive for DID I sought out a specialist using references in the book. He confirmed the diagnosis. I feel now that I am finally on a path that will lead to recovery. It wouldn't have happened if I hadn't of accidently run across this book while browsing the shelves at a local book store. If you have DID (formerly MPD), think you might have DID, or have been in the endless therapy loop that has been treating your symptoms and not your illness, then READ THIS BOOK. The book is filled with helpful information for dissociatives/multiples and their loved ones. Also highly recommended: The Stranger in the Mirror.

Summary: Long overdue
Comment: A great book about a difficult subject, THE DISSOCIATIVE IDENTITY DISORDER SOURCEBOOK is a must for professionals and lay-people alike.
While this illness has been around for years, it has only been recently (or it has seemed that way) that the disorder has gotten the attention it deserves.
This volume is more of a listing of everything about the illness, with invaluable descriptions and ideas on the subject. The best thing about it is the lines it draws between DID and the other mental illness that have been confused with that disorder.
Also recommended: SYBIL, A CHILD CALLED IT, BARK OF THE DOGWOOD, LOST BOY
Rating: 3
Summary: For Women Only
Comment: This book has a lot of helpful information for females who have been diagnosed with DID or who think they might have DID, and their therapists. The author completely dismisses men as sufferers of DID. If you are male or you are concerned about men, you must look elsewhere. There is some information here that may be of help to you, but it isn't worth the price of the book.
