Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) is a diagnosis that has been mired in controversy even before social media has broadened awareness of it in recent years. Research has encompassed empirical investigation into its etiology, including trauma-dissociation and malingering/suggestion models.
With more adolescents and young adults presenting with traits of DID, it is imperative for clinicians to have the tools for accurate assessment and diagnosis and for supporting our clients in engaging in evidence-based treatment.
This talk will address barriers to accurate DID diagnosis, including limitations in research on BIPOC and minority populations, tools to support DID assessment that address potential malingering, and strategies for communicating case conceptualizations to clients, who may have a strong attachment to a DID diagnosis.
This talk will also provide a brief overview of evidence-based intervention for individuals with DID and individuals with traits of dissociation, but who do not necessarily fit a DID diagnosis.
