International Society for the Study of Trauma and Dissociation

The International Society for the Study of Trauma and Dissociation (ISSTD) is a professional organization dedicated to advancing understanding, research, and treatment of trauma-related disorders, particularly dissociation. Dissociation involves disruptions in consciousness, memory, or identity often linked to traumatic experiences. The society brings together clinicians, researchers, and academics worldwide to share knowledge, improve therapeutic approaches, and support individuals affected by trauma and dissociation. By fostering collaboration, ISSTD aims to improve diagnosis, treatment, and awareness of complex trauma-related conditions, ultimately enhancing care and recovery for affected individuals.
