We describe a method for calculating rates for multiphoton detachment or ionization of a two-electron system by a perturbative field. We have applied the method to H{sup {minus}}, and we present estimates of two- and three-photon detachment rates. In particular, we explore the {sup 1}{ital S{ital e}} and {sup 1}{ital D{ital e}} Feshbach resonances below the {ital n}=2 and {ital n}=3 excitation thresholds of H; these resonances lie in the excess-photon detachment'' regime, where one photon is already sufficient to detach the electron.
