![]() ![]() These symptoms can stem from many types of mental illnesses. DID can share very similar symptoms to that of dissociation without the alternate personalities. ![]() In fact many of the questions asked were leading and often had patients believing they experienced types of trauma that never took place.Īside from the therapy, DID doesn't always imply that one has subconsciously developed alter personalities. Much of the content in the book does not portray any evidence-based practice to support Steinberg's therapy models. Today I am a therapist and with that said, looking back on the content of this book, I highly disagree with scales used by Steinberg, as well as the types of therapies used to help those suffering from DID. Essentially this book saved my life, I was fifteen at the time. This book highlighted similar symptoms as to what I experienced primarily the feeling of disconnect with one's physical body and mind. As a sufferer from depersonalization, a symptom of my general anxiety disorder, I could not find a single "hint" of information as to why I was feeling the way I was. This book is worthy of five stars, not because of its content, but rather because of the limited information pertaining to DID at the time the book was released. ![]()
