Publisher description
This volume describes ways of understanding the large group of patients who are self-abusers and hear voices, but who are not schizophrenic. Sometimes loosely described as having a borderline personality, such patients are often better understood as suffering from a trauma-based dissociative disorder. The most extreme form of this is the multiple personality disorder (MPD). The book draws upon the understanding of trauma and dissociation that has developed within the last decade, and shows how this can transform our view of many severe personality disorders. MPD is presented as a disorder based upon trauma and pretence - a pretence which structures the personality. The author explores the implications of working with personalities structured around trauma and pretence. The many complex aspects of the therapeutic process are then discussed
