ForwardTime Effective Intervention Techniques for Crisis Management in the Treatment of Dissociative Identity Disorder
Abstract
The treatment of dissociative disorders is a complex endeavor which requires the application of specialized techniques and an understanding of an elaborate sequence of defensive behaviors. While ongoing weekly sessions with dissociative disordered clients usually present unique and compelling treatment conditions, the intensity of these conditions typically magnify under emergency and crisis situations. This presentation will provide a number of crisis intervention techniques to assist in not only managing the emergency but promote productive treatment progress.
This session was originally presented as part of a virtual conference in October 2021.
