As if Working with Teenagers Wasn’t Already Challenging Enough!
  • Beginning/Introductory
  • Free to Members
  • Webinar
  • 1.50 ISSTD Certificate Program
$35.00
For many years, the practice of psychotherapy for dissociative disorders was largely focused on working with adult survivors. Over the last 10 to 15 years, there has been increased recognition and focus on working with younger trauma survivors in developmentally appropriate ways to more effectively reduce or eliminate the need for dissociative processes as an ongoing coping mechanism. A clear advantage of this approach is that the earlier developmentally these coping mechanisms are addressed, the less firmly entrenched they are.

Treating the Addicted Survivor of Trauma: A Somatic Perspective
  • Beginning/Introductory
  • Free to Members
  • Intermediate
  • Webinar
  • 1.50 ISSTD Certificate Program
$35.00
​​​​​​​In the wake of traumatic experience, survivors tend to be overwhelmed by intense emotions and body sensations, loss of faith in the universe, and unrelenting punitive introspection. Addictive craving and behavior seem to offer an ‘out,’ the promise of blessed relief from both the emotional and somatic overwhelm. The result is the frequent co-occurrence of addictive disorders that ultimately poses an equal or even greater threat to the patient as do the trauma symptoms.
An Office Mental Status Exam for Complex Dissociative Disorders and Dissociative Symptoms - Parts I & II
  • Beginning/Introductory
  • Free to Members
  • Webinar
  • 3.00 ISSTD Certificate Program
$59.00
The Office Mental Status Exam for Dissociative Disorders was originally developed to assist psychiatric residents with assessment of complex dissociative and posttraumatic psychopathologies. Accordingly, it uses a phenomological approach to symptom clusters that commonly appear in patients with dissociative disorders and complex PTSD. This system was designed at a time when diagnosis of dissociative identity disorder (then multiple personality disorder) was primarily based in attempts to elicit alter self states, often by using hypnosis or similar intrusive methods.
