Public Masterclass:
Is my patient ‘dissociative’, ‘borderline’, ‘psychotic’, a case of PTSD, or what?
Subtitle: What is dissociation and how can we assess it?
Do you sometimes struggle to assess dissociative disorders? For example, you may find it hard to distinguish DID, bipolar mood disorder, and schizophrenia in actual practice. Have you ever felt stuck in getting dissociative parts to cooperate with one another? They can be so opposed. This may make you experience your task as a therapist impossible, overwhelming or emotionally draining.
In this Public Masterclass series, Ellert Nijenhuis starts sharing what he learned while working with dissociative patients for over 40 years. His goal is to help you gain clarity and feel more confident in your therapeutic work with people with DID.
For whom:
Psychotherapists, psychiatrists, and other therapy practitioners
Including clinicians working with complex trauma and dissociative disorders.
Educational and psychosocial professionals
Who support children, adolescents, or adults with complex trauma histories.Medical, psychology, and healthcare students

Do you sometimes struggle to make real clinical progress with trauma patients — even when you’re applying the right techniques and carefully following protocols? Do supervisors ever leave you doubting your own abilities?
Ellert offers a unique perspective on these situations. Attend this Public Masterclass to gain greater clarity and renewed clinical confidence.
