ForwardLiving Legend Webinar - Trauma Model Therapy. A Treatment Approach for Trauma, Dissociation and Complex Comorbidity
Abstract
In this workshop, Dr. Ross will describe a clinical interview to diagnose DID and will role play his asking the relevant questions. He will provide a conceptual overview and rationale for the interview structure. He will also discuss the differential diagnose of DID and the key features that differentiate it from schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, complex PTSD and borderline personality disorder.
