Intensive Psychotherapy for Persistent Dissociative Processes: The Fear of Feeling Real by Richard A. Chefetz

This is hands down my favorite textbook on dissociative disorders. It is also the only textbook on dissociation I know that is not "dumbed down" for those with these disorders yet acknowledges that they may be reading.
Deeply informative, Chefetz guides the reader through the core concepts and basic information regarding severe/chronic dissociation, all the way to more advanced theory and recent research as well as treatment strategies. The empathy he shows toward not only his own clients but toward the otherwise academic topics he talks about within the book is something that I appreciate deeply in comparison to the more typical disconnected voice of the average psychology textbook.
I could not recommend this more to any therapist or psychology student wanting to specialize in dissociative disorders and to those that have a dissociative disorder.
