The Patchwork Quilt: A book for children about Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID)

Product Description

A way to talk to kids about D.I.D.s (Dissociative Identity Disorder)

Conversations about mental health can be difficult.  The Patchwork Quilt is a picture book designed to help those with D.I.D. - Dissociative Identity Disorder (previously known as multiple personality disorder) talk about the condition.  It is a great starting point for explaining this complex psychological condition to children (or to young alters).

This colorfully illustrated narrative story introduces DID to children in a serious, but whimsical way.  The Patchwork Quilt addresses;

• DID’s formation out of trauma
• The concept of parts (or alters)
• Emotional issues such as; anger, fear, depression, self-worth
• The positive outcome of internal communication & cooperation

Dissociative identity disorder is a complex condition and by its nature highly personal.  This story is meant to be open to interpretation.   Some people are working towards integration; others are working towards being a functional system.  This book is not a judgement on or endorsement of any method of healing. It was written to be a starting point for open discussion of DID with children.
