Introduction To Dissociative
Disorders
Dr. Maggie Phillips, Ph.D.
Current treatments for dissociation suggest
an intriguing paradox as a focus on the past traumatization triggers regression
and more dissociation. So, How do we avoid retraumatization and further
fragmentation ?
This course will teach you how to detect, diagnose and treat dissociative
disorders resulting from trauma, abuse or neglect, along with a four-stage model
integrating various theoretical perspectives.
