In this book, Ms. Karjala adds her opinions on dissociation and trauma-based mental health issues based on her years of practice. It is interesting to read her opinions and she provides some neat examples of cases she has experienced, how she handled them, and what she learned through the process. Despite the book's claim to be the authority on how to approach dissociative problems clinically, it all boils down to one woman's opinions. It is interesting, yes, and perhaps even informative, but to take this book as the authoritative word on dissociation is dangerous.
