Dissociation and the Dissociative Disorders (eBook)

Winner of ISSTD's 2009 Pierre Janet Writing Award for the best publication on dissociation in 2009!

Dissociation and the Dissociative Disorders is a book that has no real predecessor in the dissociative disorders field. It reports the most recent scientific findings and conceptualizations about dissociation, defines and establishes the boundaries of current knowledge in the dissociative disorders field, identifies and carefully articulates the field's current points of confusion, gaps in knowledge, and conjectures, clarifies the different aspects and implications of dissociation, and sets forth a research agenda for the next decade. In many respects, Dissociation and the Dissociative Disorders both defines and redefines the field.
