Trauma-Related Dissociation and Dissociative Disorders:
Assessment and Treatment Strategies for Some of the Most Misunderstood Disorders in the DSM

With assessment tools, step-by-step processes, and therapeutic interventions, this program will prepare you to effectively meet the clinical challenges involved in identifying and treating individuals across the dissociative spectrum!
