A Sequenced Approach to Working
with Dissociative Parts
3 hour workshop
Kathy Steele, MN, CS has been in private practice in Atlanta, Georgia for over three decades, and is an Adjunct Faculty at Emory University. Kathy is a Fellow and a past President of the International Society for the Study of Trauma and Dissociation (ISSTD), and is the recipient of a number of awards for her clinical and published works, including the 2010 Lifetime Achievement Award from ISSTD. She has authored numerous publications in the field of trauma and dissociation, including three books, and frequently lectures internationally on topics related to trauma, dissociation, attachment, and therapeutic resistance and impasses.
There is a current debate over whether it is necessary to work directly with individual dissociative parts or only work with parts through the “adult self” in clients with DID. This webinar will describe a rational sequence of working with parts and explore what we actually mean by working with the adult self. We will focus on three main issues: (1) how to access capacities in the client that are required to engage in effective psychotherapy; (2) how to decide when it more helpful to work through an adult self and when it is more effective to directly with other parts; and (3) how to engage the entire systems of parts as the whole person in each session.
The workshop will be recorded.
