How to Check In When Clients Check Out: Experiential Interventions for Dissociation

The National Institute for the Psychotherapies
250 West 57th Street, Suite 501
New York, NY 10107

Dissociative material is a challenge to work with using traditional talk therapy methods. Newer models of practice that emphasize the body, present-moment experience, state specific processing and mindfulness offer useful techniques to manage and process dissociation. In this introductory workshop, Dr. Gladstone will focus somatic psychotherapy as a means of working with dissociated affect. Using clinical examples, she will demonstrate the use of experiential body based techniques that effectively target dissociative processes.

Learning Objectives:

Identify two types of dissociation, altered states of consciousness and compartmentalization.
Identify how these two types of dissociation each requires different treatment approaches.
Examine the therapeutic action in somatic psychotherapy with both types of dissociation.
