This is a copy of my posts in the Dissociative Disorders message boards for those that don't always get in there to that message board. Dr. Tracy Alderman and Karen Marshall are the authors of the book "Amongst Ourselves" -

As some of you know this past 5 years I have been in therapy for Dissociative Identity Disorder and part of my therapy has been doing workbooks such as the book "Amongst Ourselves" and contacting professionals in the field.

I posted a resource list here on the Dissociative Disorders message boards and on my blog - Me, Myself and I.

Since posting this list I have had many questions regarding the authors and their book and asking if they have a website.

Recently I contacted Tracy and Karen and they still do not have a website but have given me permission to release their email addresses for anyone with questions and comments.

Dr. Tracy Alderman can be reached at - DrTracyA@aol.com
Karen Marshall can be reached at - LadyKarenM@aol.com

Thanks Karen and Tracy.

thanks for going through all the trouble!

You're welcome and it was no trouble at all.

Contacting professionals and survivors in the field of working with and or surviving DID was a big part of mine and SKR's (past therapist) efforts of putting together a 24/7 self monitoring self managing therapy program starting back in spring 2001 through 2004. Because of my DHS case I couldn't leave the state without court permission to obtain treatment at a facility specially designed for the work that needed to be done and my lawyer I had at that point had forbidden SKR and I from diclosing that I had DID needed a DID specailist and treatment. My lawyer told us "Just take care of it and quietly" So we did the next best thing - contacted everyone we could to learn what her and I needed to do to take care of it. Thanks to all these professionals and survivors over the past 5 years SKR and I never lacked for info, and things to try. What worked for me we kept and what didn't we changed fo fit or threw it out all together. And what came out of researching at the local library and contacting professionals and survivors became my 24/7 custom made therapy plan, which I contue with even now.

Dr. Tracy Alderman and Karen Marshall were a couple of people I sought out after starting to use their book - Amongst Ourselves. So I already had contact info for them for some time now.

When I wrote them and asked if they had a website up yet that I could link to on my blog for those that were asking me for a website for the book and the authors. They surpised me with saying it was ok to give out their email addrsses which I think is really cool.

bumping up.
