Finding Solid Ground is the most helpful book available on the
treatment of clinical dissociation. Based on an extended clinical
research study, this guide is highly recommended for those who seek
concrete, evidence-based guidance in this area. Equally recommended
is the associated workbook, which provides detailed and
compassionate information and exercises for clients struggling with
dissociate challenges.

Finding Solid Ground is an enormous contribution to the field of
trauma: the first book on trauma and dissociation written by
authors who are both scholars and clinicians. They build a solid
ground of research evidence to support an understanding of
dissociation combined with practical applications that can be
easily integrated into psychotherapy or serve as a stand-alone
treatment. Well done!

Finding Solid Ground, provides invaluable resources on the
treatment of dissociative trauma-related disorders. The authors are
educators par excellence who have used their expertise as
researchers and clinicians to produce a highly readable overview of
dissociation along with treatment guidelines and exercises. Their
innovative TOP DD studies offer empirical support for their
approach. A major contribution!
