the problem isnt one of whether its online or E books. the problem is that the new diagnostics here in the USA is so new that there is no public publications out there other than the DSM 5, that is up to date.
sure you can google and search on amazon but when you look at the date of when those resources have been published it was before the new standards, new definitions, new tests, ....went into affect.
most people that I know say finding new and up to date information, biographies, and other non fiction materials dated 2013 through to the present is like a needle in a haystack, which it is, most of the new stuff is not available to just anyone, and probably wont be for some time yet.
for example...its going to take some time before people being diagnosed now and with in the past 2 years to heal to the point where they are ready to write and publish their stories of abuse and healing from DID, most people with DID are in treatment for many many years after they receive the diagnosis, some dont get their diagnosis right away so for some people it may take 5,10, 30 years down the road before they who have just gotten diagnosed through the new diagnostics to put their journey out there for all to see in the form of a published book, regardless of whether its by paper publication, e books or what have you.
treatment providers on the other hand get their information through their staff meetings, training seminars, workshops and other professional avenues. But then again when does a treatment provider have the time to write and publish what they have learned. again it may take some time before treatment providers going according to the new standards to gain permission from their clients to use their case histories/write and publish a book, regardless of whether its paper form, online or by e books ...
thats why I say the best place to get information about DID using data and information, tests and such is through your treatment providers, they can explain the new diagnostics and answer any of your questions right away and point you to the right books and information that directly relates to ones own problems and questions being asked.
its going to take some time before you see much with a publishing date that is after 2013 to the present. therefore going through ones own treatment providers is the best avenues right now.
