review: Editorial Reviews Review "This is the definitive source for information on dissociative topics. The editors have compiled a comprehensive resource that includes the most up-to-date information on theory, research, and clinical practice from the most authoritative experts in the field. Clinicians and academics alike will benefit from having this book on their shelves and will refer to it often . " - Christine A. Courtois, co-editor of Treating complex traumatic stress disorders: An Evidence-based Guide, and author of Recollections of Sexual Abuse: Treatment Principles and Guidelines and Healing the Incest Wound: Adult Survivors in Therapy "This is an excellent, integrative book about dissociation, written by outstanding leaders in the field. Ranging from astute developmental and clinical description to cutting-edge neurobiology, it accurately assesses the past and points knowledgeably to the future. The careful reader will learn what people with a dissociative disorder often do: acquire strength from the assimilation of varied points of view." - David Spiegel, Willson Professor and Associate Chair of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, Stanford University School of Medicine, USA, and co-editor of Traumatic Dissociation: Neurobiology and Treatment , American Psychiatric Publishing, 2007 "This volume delineates existing concepts, phenomena and pathologies of dissociation, while thoughtfully addressing their differences in conceptualizing still unresolved issues in the field. Most impressively, it offers a well-founded proposal for a new conceptualization of the Dissociative Disorders ." - Ursula Gast, Medical Director, Clinic for Psychosomatic Medicine and Psychotherapy, Bielefeld, Germany, and Board of Directors, German-speaking Society for Psychotraumatology About the Author Paul F.
