Description
Trauma, Dissociation and Multiplicity offers a psychoanalytic perspective on dissociation, particularly Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), exploring key questions about self, identity, and dissociation. This book brings together research findings from neuroscience and clinical practice, as well as work from survivor-writers, to provide new insights into the concept of dissociation. Valerie Sinason's work builds on her previous publication, Attachment, Trauma and Multiplicity, Second Edition, representing a significant theoretical step forward in understanding dissociation. The book covers topics such as the verbal language of trauma and dissociation, the meaning of children's art, and pioneering new concepts on multiple bodies. This book will be of interest to specialists in the field of dissociation and psychoanalysts, both experienced and in training, offering a valuable resource for those seeking to understand this complex topic.
