Routledge - Shattered but Unbroken: Voices of Triumph and Testimony

Shattered but Unbroken: Voices of Triumph and Testimony offers a deep look into Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) through a combination of personal narratives and academic research. Published by Routledge, this edited volume brings together the lived experiences of survivors of ritual abuse alongside scholarly analysis regarding the causes, correlates, and interventions for DID. The book is structured into two distinct parts to provide a comprehensive view of the subject. A central element of the work is the missing memoir of Anna, a survivor of ritual abuse who chose not to publish her story due to fear of retribution. Her personal journey is woven throughout the entire text, connecting the academic contributions with the life writings of others. This resource serves as a vital bridge between clinical psychology and personal testimony. By integrating individual life stories with professional research, the book provides a holistic perspective on the complexities of DID and the paths toward recovery and understanding.
