Severe Dissociative disorders such as Other Specified Dissociative Disorder (OSDD) and Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) represent significant challenges to client and therapist alike. There is a distinct lack of Dissociative Disorder training within the mental health professions across many countries; leading to misdiagnosis and inappropriate treatment, which prolongs the very significant suffering of our clients.
Whilst CFT was developed for working with people where attachment disturbance and trauma are often key causes of suffering; any therapeutic modality needs to be adapted for OSDD & DID; otherwise, the risks of harm to the client may inadvertently increase and the chances of effectiveness are likely to be greatly reduced.
Therefore, there is a need to ensure that CFT therapists tap into the pre-existing wisdom in this area and to be able to adapt the standard approach accordingly.
CFT also has much to offer in the treatment of severe Dissociative Disorders.
It is conceptually compatible with one of the leading theoretical models in this area, Structural Dissociation of the Personality (Van derHart, Nijenhuis & Steele, 2006).
CFT is built on key knowledge and skills to help people deliberately train their capacity to integrate parts of the self through activating the compassionate mind. CFT therefore enables therapists to work within the treatment guidance laid out by the International Society for the Study of Trauma and Dissociation (ISSTD, 2011), which emphasises the need to achieve better integrated functioning and the use of a phased approach.
These 2 days will cover how CFT fits with the existing knowledge base in this area and how it has been applied clinically, with reference to case material and practical demonstration where possible.
