OK, folks, here's the final version:
Dissociative Disorders Study Group
The Dissociative Disorders Study Group is a clinical consultation group that
focuses on the application of various clinical approaches in the current
psychotherapy of trauma survivors. We also believe that dissociation is a
common feature of many clinical presentations, that it is seriously
under-recognized by the general clinical community, and that there is great
benefit in meeting together with other professionals with a similar
understanding or interest.
This discussion group was originated back in the 1980's by Frank Putnam, MD,
who wrote "Diagnosis and Treatment of MPD". That remains a basic text, but
our focus has also broadened over the years to include the full spectrum of
trauma sequelae, particularly the importance of shame as a core issue for so
many of our clients. In addition to the explicitly dissociative individuals
identified by DSM dissociative criteria (amnesia, fugue,depersonalization,
DID, and DDNOS), we discuss dissociative phenomena occurring in other
diagnostic categories, such as eating disorders, rage episodes, depression,
and sexual and relational problems.
We're a small group of therapists, ranging from some with years of practice
with dissociative clients to some recognizing a need to know more about this
dimension of our field. We meet the first Friday of each month from 7:30 to
9:30, in Rockville, MD. 2 hours of category II CEU's are earned for each
meeting.
We would welcome inquiries from any interested professional. For more
