Synopsis

"Dissociation is an entirely normal response to overwhelming trauma." Since 2010, PODS (Positive Outcomes for Dissociative Survivors) have been running training days throughout the UK about dissociation, complex trauma, somatisation and attachment. This essential Resource Guide brings together, in its first half, many of the facts and statistics that delegates on those training days have learned about, including definitions, diagnostic criteria, prevalence statistics, causes, and signs and symptoms of dissociative disorders such as Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID). The second half is a selection of relevant articles from a more experiential perspective - that of the dissociative survivor, as well as a partner. This unique combination of fact and first person perspective makes this a must-read resource for anyone suffering from trauma-related dissociation, or any professionals working in this field. About the Author Carolyn Spring is an author and publisher as well as being Director of PODS (Positive Outcomes for Dissociative Survivors) and its charity framework START (Survivors Trauma and Abuse Recovery Trust). PODS works to make recovery from dissociative disorders a reality through training, informing and supporting, and Carolyn delivers all the PODS training as well as editing the magazine/journal Multiple Parts which is produced three times a year. She developed dissociative identity disorder (DID) as a result of prolonged and extreme childhood abuse but believes passionately in recovery and the dignity and respect that is due to all human beings.
