The DID and OSDD Handbook: Understanding and Navigating Life with Dissociative Identity Disorder

by Ella Everett, Adrian A. Fletcher (Foreword)

The DID and OSDD Handbook is a supportive, accessible guide to life with dissociative identity disorder (DID), other specified dissociative disorder (OSDD) and partial dissociative identity disorder (P-DID), based on author Ella Everett's experience living with DID.

Answering questions from 'What is it like to live with DID and OSDD?' to 'What does recovery look like?' and covering topics such as seeking diagnosis, practical coping skills and navigating relationships, this guide is designed to dip in and out of as needed. Throughout, Ella works to address the lack of awareness and understanding of DID and OSDD in society, and challenge the harmful stereotypes often associated with these conditions.

This essential handbook offers kindness, understanding, recognition and representation for everyone living with DID and OSDD, as well as mental health professionals, therapists and those who support them.

The handbook provides a good brief overview of important information which truly could save a person and their supporters a lot of heartache and headaches whilst navigating these conditions.

It’s short but sweet.
