Event Description

Discovering a client’s dissociative disorder is the first step toward their receiving proper treatment. Yet many therapists do not get adequate training regarding dissociation, specifically how to assess it. As a result, it takes between 5 - 12 years for someone in therapy to get diagnosed with a dissociative disorder (Brand BL, Loewenstein RJ, Spiegel D. Dispelling myths about dissociative identity disorder treatment: an empirically based approach. Psychiatry. 2014 Summer;77(2):169-89).

Dorinna Ruh has taught advanced EMDR Therapy skills since 2010 as an EMDRIA-approved consultant and specializes in dissociative disorders. Learn more about Dorinna’s work at https://advanced-emdr-education.com/ In this free call, Dorinna will review dissociation assessment for therapists who want to ensure they have the basic skills needed to identify clients who may have a dissociative disorder. No CEUs will be given.
