We found a great book called I Am More Than One by Jane Wegscheider Hyman. It is a book that discusses how women with DID have found success in life and work. I think it's a must read for all of us since it affirms you often and gives you things to do when you are stressed, etc., at work or at other people-oriented functions.

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.
