About the Book

Building on the comprehensive theoretical model of dissociation elegantly developed in The Dissociative Mind, Elizabeth Howell makes another invaluable contribution to theaclinical understanding of dissociative states withaUnderstanding and TreatingaDissociative Identity Disorder. Howell, working within the realm of relational psychoanalysis, explicates a multifaceted approach to the treatment of this fascinating yet often misunderstood condition, which involves the partitioning of the personality into part-selves that remain unaware of one another, usually the result of severely traumatic experiences. Howell begins with an explication ofadissociation theory and research that includes the dynamic unconscious, trauma theory, attachment, and neuroscience. She then discusses the identification and diagnosis of Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) before moving on to outline a phase-oriented treatment plan, which includes facilitating a multileveled co-constructed therapeutic relationship, emphasizing the multiplicity of transferences, countertransferences, and kinds of potential enactments. She then expands the treatment possibilities to include dreamwork, before moving on to discuss the risksainvolved in the treatment of DID and how toamitigate them.aAll concepts and technical approaches are permeated with rich clinical examples.

Review :
"Elizabeth Howell, in Understanding and Treating Dissociative Identity Disorder: A Relational Approach, has once again shown that successful psychotherapy hinges on working with dissociation in the context of a human relationship. In her new book, she extends the central thesis of her earlier volume, The Dissociative Mind, to brilliantly portray how, even with individuals who seem to defy the time-honored rules of psychotherapeutic engagement, the deepest healing and the deepest growth are intertwined in the ever-shifting interactive relationship with the multiple aspects of self haunting the patient's inner world. Synthesizing within her own perspective the valuable contributions of other clinicians and researchers in the area of trauma and dissociation, she demonstrates how the complex relational environment defining the "disorder" labeled DID is not a strange form of illness but a debilitating form of anticipatory self-protection -- the automatic reliance on a dissociative self-s
