![]() ![]() Readers can gauge their own dissociative tendencies with the book's abridged version of the Steinberg clinical interview for DSM-IV dissociative disorders. Arguing that DID often results from early childhood abuse, Steinberg passionately calls for removing the stigma from its related behaviors, noting that the popular conception of the disorder is gleaned from overblown films such as Sybil and The Three Faces of Eve. In more extreme forms, it is a debilitating disorder-similar, she argues, to attention deficit disorder-that is in need of psychiatric recognition and intervention. Steinberg, whose research was supported with grants from the National Institute of Mental Health, argues with conviction that mild dissociative behavior-temporary episodes of disconnection or memory loss-can be a useful mechanism for coping with such mundane but stressful events as giving public presentations as well as major traumas like an operation or an assault. What do the Columbine killings, ""getting lost in a good book"" and your midlife crisis have in common? According to psychiatrist Steinberg, they are all events that can be placed on a broad continuum of behaviors related to dissociative identity disorder, popularly known as multiple personality. ![]()

I knew how much food I would need for the week and had not packed any extra. GUIDEPOSTS: How big of a deal was it for you to choose to share your food and water with Gobi?ĭL: A very big deal because you have to carry all of the food you need to survive the week. GUIDEPOSTS: It’s kind of amazing then that this tiny dog could manage it.ĭL: I was impressed when she completed stage 2 with me, close to a marathon in length and climbing a huge mountain pass over the Tian Shan range.
