### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    A Balanced Approach
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 6, 2014*

In the past there have been experts who believed tht catharsis was proper -- it drove people over the edge.One expert in the past wrote that children who grew into adults with MPD/DID had created the alters with their imagination and could then un-imagine them. How did that expert develop, as a child, his singular personality, wasn't it using his imaginaton?  That's how children develop.Children use play and imagination to create their grasp on reality.  The development of alter personalities is what a normal child does when presented with a horrendous, sexually abusive early childhood.  It is normal.  For an adult it is disfunctional and help is needed to develop coping skills for dealing with an adult reality.This book presents a much more balanced approach.  Fusion is not the answer.  MPD/DID could almst be likened to a family all living in one body: which auntie will you murder first? Eliminating alters will be viewed as murder. It is internal awareness and cooperation that will allow the person to function as an adult inspite of the abuse that caused a shatttered personality.

    Book cover has obvious wear and tear
  

*by P***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 27, 2020*

I paid the for a new copy of this book. The prints looks new but the back cover has very obvious wear and tear. I don't know why such should have been shipped as new in the first place. I would have given it a 5 if not for the book cover.

    Rebuilding shattered lives
  

*by S***D on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 9, 2012*

This book is not simply for therapists. For those who have suffered severe trauma in childhood and who have been diagnosed with Complex PTSD and dissociative disorders in later years, this work can help them understand their complicated and often frightening world. Among other themes, it allows patients to gain an insight into the often challenging therapeutic relationship which must be established and maintained in order to heal, as well as the three main stages of treatment. Chapter 8 was especially useful, with hands-on strategies for controlling posttraumatic and dissociative symptoms. Although some may find the language and concepts demanding at times, I would still thoroughly recommend it.
