• Dissociative symptoms in posttraumatic stress disorder: diagnosis and treatment.

  Steiner H, Carrion V, Plattner B, Koopman C. Child Adolesc Psychiatr Clin N Am. 2003; 12 (2): 231-49, viii

  This article explores the complex relationship between dissociation and psychiatric trauma. Dissociation is described as a defense reaction, a risk factor for the development of posttraumatic stress disorder, and as a set of syndromal disturbances. The authors discuss various models proposed for the relationship between these. They outline developmental considerations in diagnosis and treatment and end by discussing further needed research.
