Book description
This ground-breaking book examines the role of crime in the lives of
people with Dissociative Identity Disorder, formerly known as Multiple
Personality Disorder, a condition which appears to be caused by
prolonged trauma in infancy and childhood. This trauma may be linked
with crimes committed against them, crimes they have witnessed, and
crimes they have committed under duress. This collection of essays by a
range of distinguished international contributors explores the complex
legal, ethical, moral, and clinical questions which face
psychotherapists and other professionals working with people suffering
from Dissociative Identity Disorder. Contributors to this book are drawn
from the following professions: psychotherapy, psychoanalysis,
counselling, psychology, medicine, law, police, and social work
