Resources

Note: A lot of these resources state that they are for DID, but most of them apply to OSDD as well. Keep in mind that your mileage may vary with regards to these resources. I am always looking for more resources to put on this page, so if you know of any that you think would be a good fit here, please let me know! Additionally, literature with a ☆ (star) next to it are personally recommended by me.
