Product reviews for Understanding Dissociative Disorders

Involuntary and debilitating "dissociation-of-mind" is perhaps the most important and yet most profoundly misunderstood malady of our age. The provision of reliable, accurate information regarding the diagnosis and treatment of this disorder is therefore essential. Such information is particularly important to family physicians and health care professionals who invariably hold roles of "sentinel-like' responsibility. In this regard "Understanding Dissociative Disorders" by Marlene Hunter is a key text which should be required reading for medical students and GP's alike. The book is well annotated and represents an extremely welcome contribution to the burgeoning literature on dissociative disorders. Extremely useful and practical bullet-point summaries appear at the end of each chapter.
