Dissociation and the Dissociative Disorders: DSM-V and Beyond

Dissociation and the Dissociative Disorders: DSM-V and Beyond is a book that has no real predecessor in the dissociative disorders field. It (1) reports the most recent scientific findings and conceptualizations about dissociation, (2) defines and establishes the boundaries of current knowledge in the dissociative disorders field, (3) identifies and carefully articulates the fields current points of confusion, gaps in knowledge, and conjectures, (4) clarifies the different aspects and implications of dissociation, and (5) sets forth a research agenda for the next decade. In many respects, it both defines and redefines the field.
