Our House: Making Sense of Dissociative Identity Disorder, a simple
and accessible picture book that uses the metaphor of a house to
explain how and why DID can develop. Additional guidance accompanies
the story, explaining the metaphor in depth, offering advice regarding
dissociative disorders, and signposting further help for both
individuals and professionals.
-
Understanding Dissociative Identity Disorder: A Guidebook for
Survivors and Practitioners, provides practical exercises and
opportunities for reflective discussion that will expand and deepen
the understanding, application and usefulness of the picture book.

professionals, as well as family and friends.
