A while back someone posted a couple of books they either used to knew about I don't totally remember... One was coping with trama related dissociation and the other had the word family in it... I need the name of that book if anyone remembers or knows what I'm talking about..

There is a book that opened up my mind and understanding of dissociation. It is so awesome that I got my counselor a copy and he thinks it is a great one too. The book is "The Stranger In the Mirror".

I've not heard of the books you are asking about but just wanted to share that with you.

Family inside by Doris Bryant. it was published in 1992 so read with a bit understanding that in 2013 america changed over to a new standard of what is and isnt dissociative type alters, DID,, Diagnostics, tests and such. my point much of what you find in the book may not apply now for what treatment providers have to go by today under the present standards\rules\ ethics and such. though you may find some of the book helpful dont be surprised if its vastly different than what treatment providers tell you now.

my rule of thumb when looking for reading materials on any mental disorders where i want factual and up to date material that wont conflict with my own treatment providers and treatment plans used today is look at publishing dates from 2013 to present.

that is one of the first books i ever read on it. it was also something that helped me a lot in knowing i was not alone in what i experienced, and i was so glad to have found the book.

Is there more than one book with family in it? Thought when she mentioned the book I thought there were like 3 or 4 words surrounding it... I don't totally remember as she triggered me and I was in the midst of trying to stay present and wasn't listening totally to her....

do you mean a book about therapy techniques rather than an autobiography. if so there are many books out about the therapy technique called Internal Family Systems Therapy. you can get it on amazon.com

firstly i wasn't aware of that particular book (but was aware of others), and the pubblishing dates is a really good idea
