I want to add this link to this forum since DID is my primary issue. My T uses CBT with me as a part of the DID help. This link has worksheets you can use if your T uses CBT: http://www.getselfhelp.co.uk/freedownloads2.htm

For us, we actually work with each alter through the different issues. Having them fill in the worksheets as each one might allow T to see how each alter interprets a situation in a different way.

This is a web site that I found 10 years ago. There are other books available but these are just a few that you may want to find on amozon or other way.

Dissociative Identity Disorder Sourcebook, The
Product ID: HADI

Dissociative identity disorder (DID), formerly called multiple personality disorder, is a condition fraught with controversy and skepticism. Often the greatest challenge for a person with DID is overcoming society's general misunderstanding of alter (multiple) personalities and how they may be treated and resolved. Once believed to be a rare and dramatic aberration, DID is actually a highly evolved survival mechanism acquired by some individuals as they cope with severe and prolonged trauma, abuse, and fear.

Living with Your Selves: A Survival Manual for People with Multiple Personalities
Product ID: HOLS

Designed to help people live with their condition, Living with Your Selves was written "by a multiple, for other multiples." It is neither a clinical book, nor a workbook, although it contains elements of each. The author's objective was to create a "how-to manual" for living which would fill the gap between the clinical literature and survivors' stories.

Managing Our Selves: Building a Community of Caring
Product ID: POMO

Building a Community of Caring is a workbook for persons with Dissociative Disorders that concentrates on self-management through active decision making and the development of internal collaboration among alters.

Our Price: $17.95

The above book is what we used when we first started to heal this time.
God in Our Midst is meant to supplement Power's first workbook (Managing Our Selves: Building a Community of Caring), not replace it. Focusing solely on a multiple's Christian selves, God in Our Midst presents ideas about the Trinity as a concept of multiplicity, explores reconciliation, and the role of praise in healing for Christians.

Whoever was asking about Pennsylvania trauma units. There are none. The two closest are Shepherd Pratt in Baltimore and Princeton in NJ. There used to be Pennsylvania Psychiatric in Philly, but they switched their name and it's now Brooke Glen and they lost their unit. Renfrew is for people with co occurring eating disorders.

This is such a great list of links. I love all the books that are listed...some of them I have never seen so I will have to check them out. I really liked The Dissociative Identity Disorder Sourcebook.... I remember we read that quite a few years ago.
Also have to say that I love Kathy Broady's website as well, her Discussing Dissociation Blog has SO much good information-- I've learned so much from her.
I definitely need to check out the other websites listed too-- thanks for posting these.

Feeling Unreal by Daphne Simeon and Jeffrey Abugel.

A technical book that just about covers everything related to dissociation including research from brain imaging. The book is also cheaply available on the internet.

I really like the information on this website about sub personalities. Peter Gerlach put it together and has a book too that I plan to get.

You can click on so many links and get detailed descriptions/examples of sub personalities.

I am learning a ton from it and recommend it to anyone with DID, thinks they might be DID or has ego state issues.
I clicked the first link and it went to a weird page. Are you sure this is the right address?

I recently bought the book and am finding it very useful. I don't believe I am DID, but I am definitely dissociative and know I have seperate ego-states ... and I do dialogue with myself out loud and in writing.

Gerlach's language of "subselves" makes a lot of sense to me and I can "give myself" permission to pursue understanding of my inner "parts" without having to use the DID label. Although his main focus is on working with divorced and otherwise fractured families, his basic theory about the wounded child and the inner "commmunity" are probably useful to anyone who experiences dissociation.
