International Society for the Study of Trauma and Dissociation (ISSTD)

The International Society for the Study of Trauma and Dissociation (ISSTD) is a professional organization dedicated to advancing research, education, and treatment for individuals affected by trauma and dissociation. Dissociation involves experiences like feeling detached from oneself or surroundings, often linked to traumatic events. ISSTD brings together clinicians, researchers, and educators to share knowledge and develop effective approaches for diagnosing and healing from trauma-related conditions. Its goal is to improve understanding and care, ensuring those affected receive accurate support and evidence-based treatment.
