Dissociation is one of the common sequelae of trauma, yet few
clinicians have received training in evidence-based assessment and
treatment of trauma-related dissociation (TRD). This book provides
a concise overview of trauma-related dissociation, issues around
misdiagnosis, methods for assessment, and guidance on treatment
planning. Trauma-related symptoms and disorders are often overlooked
or misconceptualized by mental health professionals. Failure to
correctly diagnose and treat trauma-related dissociation can lead to
prolonged suffering and a range of costs to individual clients and
their loved ones, as well as to the health care system and society at
large. Trauma-related dissociation is a symptom in a range of
psychiatric disorders and is often associated with severe
symptomatology and dysfunction, yet it can be successfully resolved if
recognized and appropriately treated. This book addresses the lack of
adequate training and knowledge about TRD by providing a systematic
overview of methods for assessing it and a discussion of using
assessment results to guide treatment planning. It provides a concise
overview of conceptualizations of TRD and the reasons it is often
overlooked or misdiagnosed, psychological disorders in which TRD is a
key symptom, etiological theories of dissociation, the application of
assessment data in treatment planning, issues specific to treatment of
children and adolescents, and more topics that are imperative to
understanding trauma-related dissociation.
