- Dissociative experiences commonly occur in response to trauma and their presence strongly affects treatment approaches to posttraumatic spectrum disorders. Brain-based measures may have the potential to augment patient symptom reports and provide new avenues for treatment. Our talk explores this potential by presenting empirical data examining brain-based measures of dissociative symptoms.

- The dissociative subtype of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) was codified for the first time in the DSM-5. However, many clinicians remain unfamiliar with the clinical phenomenology and neurobiology characterizing this prevalent subtype. Our talk will address this gap by providing information about how this subtype differs from Classic PTSD using clinical examples and recent neuroimaging findings. Lebois LAM, Ross DA, Kaufman ML.

- Dissociative identity disorder (DID) is a posttraumatic, psychobiological syndrome that develops over time during childhood. Despite empirical evidence supporting the validity of this diagnosis, DID remains a misunderstood and stigmatized condition. Our talk addresses this issue by providing current empirical research characterizing the clinical phenomenology and neurobiology underlying DID.
