The Trinity of Trauma
The Trinity of Trauma describes enactive trauma therapy both theoretically and practically.
The first two volumes of his Trauma Trilogy, The Evolving Concept of Trauma, and The Concept and Facts of Dissociation in Trauma, are predominantly conceptual, theoretical, and empirical in nature. Volume III presents a rich trove of clinical case material.

SDQ-20
The twenty item Somatoform Dissociation Questionnaire (SDQ-20) evaluates the severity of somatoform manifestations of dissociation of the personality (Nijenhuis et al., 1996). Its psychometric characteristics are very satisfactory. The instrument is completed within a few minutes.
SDQ-5
The five item SDQ-5 is a screener for dissociative disorders. The instrument performed well in some studies, but less well in other studies.
TEC
The Traumatic Experience Checklist (Nijenhuis et al., 2002) is a self-report measure addressing potentially traumatising events. It is a reliable and valid self-report instrument that can be used in clinical practice and research.
