Description
Dissociation – in simple terms, lack of awareness of the present moment; psychological absence from the `here and now’- is a complex response which can take many forms. These range from mild and benign to entrenched and severe. Yet `[o]ne characteristic of dissociative phenomena is how frequently they are misdiagnosed or not accounted for at all. Many people in the mental health profession do not know what dissociation looks like or how to assess for it’ (Danylchuk & Connors, 2017: 39) This session discusses the importance of clinical attunement to dissociation, which if not identified and addressed in its often hard to discern forms can seriously disrupt integrated functioning. It introduces the core features of dissociation, how these can manifest, and how attentiveness to dissociation can assist clients with contrasting presentations.
