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.

Does what I long for count in trauma therapy?

Subtitle: Or must I simply adhere to techniques and protocols?

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.
