This is the first book to offer structured skills training for those suffering from dissociative disorders as a result of trauma. Boone, Steele, and van der Hart draw upon a practical integration of current and important theories and therapies for trauma and dissociation. They offer a helpful combination of short educational pieces, homework sheets, and exercises that promote essential emotional and life skills in individuals who suffer from dissociation, and which can be used in either group or individual treatment.

Coping with Trauma-Related Dissociation is the first skills manual specifically for individuals with complex dissociative disorders. It covers a wide variety of topics, including acknowleding your dissocation and dissociative parts, creating an inner sense of safety, coping with various emotions (such as anger and shame) and dealing with relationships. The book is ideally used in group therapy, but I used it on my own. Its practical advice and homework are very useful. This is a much needed book for everyone who deals with dissociative identity disorder or milder forms of it.
