Critics Review
Assessing Trauma-Related Dissociation takes an enormous step in providing clarity, instilling clinician confidence, and addressing the broad and specific features that require consideration during assessment of dissociative symptoms and disorders embedded in posttraumatic adaptation. In this book, Suzette Boon has distilled a lifetime of learning and packaged it into a very accessible, rich, and clinically grounded text that presents a thorough outline of the many considerations and multiple foci of trauma-related dissociation assessment. For anyone interested or engaged in the assessment of trauma-related dissociation, this book should be their first stop, regardless of how experienced they may be in the area.–Martin J. Dorahy, PhD, professor of clinical psychology, University of Canterbury, New Zealand, and coeditor, Dissociation and the Dissociative Disorder: Past, Present, Future
An extremely practical and useful book to learn assessing and diagnosing dissociative disorders. The information is very well organized, easy to understand and integrate. Suzette Boon describes complex phenomena in a clear and precise way, addressing subtleties that can easily go unnoticed. Assessing Trauma-Related Dissociation is a gift for any clinician interested in improving their skills in assessment and diagnosis. A must-read.–Dolores Mosquera, psychologist at INTRA-TP, A Coruña, Spain
