Trauma-Related Dissociation: Intersection of Clinical Phenomenology and Neuroscience

Course overview

Posttraumatic stress responses can take many forms. In this webinar, we will use case studies to illustrate the clinical phenomenology associated with three types of responses: 1) classic posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD); 2) the dissociative subtype of PTSD; and, 3) dissociative identity disorder (DID). We also will discuss the underlying neurobiology associated with each type of response including distinctive neural circuitries. We will end this talk by discussing implications for treatment in the clinical setting.
