Dissociation is both a complex clinical phenomenon and a powerful survival strategy. As a trauma response, it can profoundly disrupt identity, memory, perception and relational capacity. Despite its prevalence across clinical settings, dissociation remains widely misunderstood — misdiagnosed as personality pathology, psychosis or resistance to treatment — leaving many practitioners uncertain about how to identify or respond effectively.

This workshop offers an exploration of dissociation as a spectrum of both adaptive and maladaptive responses to trauma. Participants will explore key dissociative disorders — including depersonalization/derealization disorder, dissociative amnesia, other specified dissociative disorder (OSDD) and dissociative identity disorder (DID) — with attention to clinical presentation and diagnostic differentiation. Integrating conceptual frameworks with evidence-based therapeutic approaches, the training provides participants with practical tools and enhanced clinical confidence to support clients whose narratives are held in fragments and shadows.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this training, participants will be able to:

• Discuss dissociative disorders using current diagnostic criteria and emerging theoretical frameworks.
• Differentiate dissociative symptoms from those commonly misattributed to personality disorders, psychosis or resistance to treatment.
• Identify commonly used assessment tools for dissociation.
• Utilize evidence-informed interventions to support clients experiencing dissociation.

This course is designed for behavioral health professionals who seek to deepen their understanding of Western influences in clinical assessment, diagnosis and treatment placement. Historically, diagnostic and placement systems such as the DSM and ASAM criteria have operated within frameworks that have often neglected or misrepresented normative behaviors and experiences.

Participants will explore the historical exclusion of varied perspectives in mental health diagnoses and the implications for misdiagnosis and inappropriate levels of care. The course highlights recent developments in the DSM-5-TR and ASAM 4th Edition that aim to incorporate responsiveness into clinical decision-making. Through case studies, role-play exercises, self-reflection activities and group discussions, participants will apply tools such as the cultural formulation interview and informed interpretations of ASAM’s six dimensions. Emphasis will be placed on humility, reflective practice and ethical engagement with various populations.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this training, participants will be able to:

• Describe the historical absence and subsequent consequences of limited considerations in the development of the DSM and ASAM criteria.
• Analyze how beliefs, identities, social contexts and implicit attitudes influence the assessment and impact clinical symptom presentation and treatment engagement.
• Apply the DSM-5 cultural formulation interview in clinical assessments to capture relevant information.
• Evaluate how ASAM’s six dimensions can be interpreted through a responsive lens in treatment planning and level-of-care decisions.

Working with trauma survivors can be challenging for behavioral healthcare practitioners. Difficult counter-transference reactions, symptoms of burnout, compassion fatigue and vicarious trauma are specific occupational hazards. Vicarious trauma can be particularly deleterious, as it may result in pervasive and permanent transformations in the helper’s belief system, relationships and worldview. Learning to protect ourselves from this cost of caring decreases the risks to self, clients and loved ones. 

In this course, we introduce tools to proactively identify, prevent and address the symptoms of vicarious trauma. We enhance our knowledge by understanding our vulnerability, identifying risk and protective factors, and increasing our awareness of signs and symptoms. We learn to enhance our well-being through self-care practices, action planning and taking steps toward personal transformation. In order to meet the long-term challenges associated with our work, concepts like vicarious resilience and vicarious post-traumatic growth will be introduced.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this training, participants will be able to:

• Identify factors contributing to distress among practitioners providing trauma-informed care. 
• Explain common causes of vicarious trauma among those who work with survivors of trauma. 
• Analyze risk and protective factors related to vicarious trauma.
