Omg....I went to the big city library to find published book form of literature on DID....all I found was the new DSM-5, a pamphlet, and two season copies of "The United States of Tara".

I feel irrelevant.

I think finding anything useful at a library is almost impossible...everything seems to be online now.

yes it is hard to find the newer information\publications due to the USA changed over to new diagnostic criteria rendering everything that is presently in print pretty close to no good anymore and no longer what treatment providers go by now.

It may be a few more years or so before you will be able to find the newer stuff in print other than the DSM 5, the new information, standards, tests.... are only 2 years old. if you do a bit of background check on some of your favorite books you presently have you will find it took that author many many years from start to finish and then to push it through publication and get it to the libraries and book stores. who knows if even what you are looking for is going to be in print when it finally hits that point. we now have kindles, computers, notebooks....actual printed on paper books being published are becoming a rare thing. wouldnt surprise me a bit if we are headed towards an era where paper style books in a library does not exist...

my point and suggestion for any updated\new information on DID is to contact your own treatment providers. they will have access to new publications...(articles, testing processes, diagnostic tests.....) they will be able to help you find things that are relevant to your own direct problems and situation.

In the UK, our libraries are all somewhat connected, so any books you want to read can be ordered in if they are not already there. Of course, going to the library would involve being outside, with people, so I still don't go. I totally rely on kindle and cheap second hand copies from Amazon for my DID research.

Some libraries have online access to e-books so long as you have a library card. You could talk with a librarian to see if they have this and maybe you might find something there. Sorry your library doesn't carry much on the subject. Are there other branches you can go to? I have found a few fiction books at the library I go to. I Never Promised You a Rose Garden was a good one, and I made it half-way through When Rabbit Howls before I had to return it.

I did check my library e books and the entire system...just not that much. I'm not going to put out $60 for a book at this time. I just wanted to read on the subject in a book that's not fiction in nature.

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.

So then....when's your book coming out? It sounds like you might have a winner.

i have already wrote my thesis papers and have no interest in writing further. would rather spend my time helping others thanks for asking though. maybe you can volunteer with your own treatment providers to be their case study
