WOL845(26) Fragments & Shadows: An Exploration of Dissociative Disorders

Description: Dissociation is both a complex clinical phenomenon and a powerful survival strategy. As a trauma response, it can profoundly disrupt identity, memory, perception and relational capacity.

This workshop offers an exploration of dissociation as a spectrum of both adaptive and maladaptive responses to trauma. Participants will explore key dissociative disorders — including depersonalization/derealization disorder, dissociative amnesia, other specified dissociative disorder (OSDD) and dissociative identity disorder (DID) — with attention to clinical presentation and diagnostic differentiation. Integrating conceptual frameworks with evidence-based therapeutic approaches, the training provides participants with practical tools and enhanced clinical confidence to support clients whose narratives are held in fragments and shadows. CE Credits: APA-3; CPRP-3; LSW/LCSW/LPC/LMFT-3; NBCC-3; PA Act48-3; PCB-3; IACET-.3 Learning Objectives: Upon completion, participants will be able to: • Discuss dissociative disorders using current diagnostic criteria and emerging theoretical frameworks. • Differentiate dissociative symptoms from those commonly misattributed to personality disorders, psychosis or resistance to treatment. • Identify commonly used assessment tools for dissociation. • Utilize evidence-informed interventions to support clients experiencing dissociation.
