The goal of this workshop is to provide clinicians with an overview of assessing dissociation so that clinicians can better recognize this often-unnoticed symptom in their traumatized clients. Dr. Brand will emphasize why it is important to recognize dissociation when working with traumatized clients and several methods for detecting dissociation. She will also discuss tools that can be used to assess the severity of dissociation in clients.
