About us

The International Society for the Study of Trauma and Dissociation is an international, non-profit, professional association organized to develop and promote comprehensive, clinically effective and empirically based resources and responses to trauma and dissociation and to address its relevance to other theoretical constructs. Although we are primarily a professionally oriented society, we welcome both professional and lay members. Check out the different categories of membership. Education is one of our primary goals. We work to achieve that goal partly through training programs, conferences and the Journal of Trauma & Dissociation. The ISSTD has given awards to professionals and lay people who have contributed to the study of trauma and dissociation and to the ISSTD. To facilitate the education and training of graduate students, the David Caul Graduate Research Grants were established in memory of David Caul, an esteemed and devoted mentor. Vision Statement Social policy and health care will address the prevalence and consequences of chronic trauma and dissociation, making effective treatment available for all who suffer from the effects of chronic or complex trauma. Mission Statement ISSTD seeks to advance clinical, scientific, and societal understanding about the prevalence and consequences of chronic trauma and dissociation.

    We hope to see you at the upcoming ISSTD Webinar, "Shocking Events and the Clinical Application of Deep Brain Reorienting," with Dr. Frank Corrigan! Learn more and save your spot today: https://ow.ly/N9F650ZtCnr Abstract: Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR) is a trauma therapy modality which emphasises the importance of shock, derived from brainstem arousal, before affective and defensive responses. This presentation will describe different types of shock which occur with a range of traumatic experiences but focus on impact shock and the clinical sequelae. This will be set within the neuroanatomical model underlying the clinical approach found to be effective in DBR.
