International Society for the Study of Trauma and Dissociation

The International Society for the Study of Trauma and Dissociation (ISSTD) is a nonprofit professional organization of health professionals and individuals who are interested in advancing the scientific and societal understandings of trauma-based disorders, including posttraumatic stress disorder, complex posttraumatic stress disorder, and the dissociative disorders.[1][2]

Profile

In the 1980s and 1990s, the ISSTD was a modern forum to discuss the controversies surrounding repressed memory and the possible connections between child abuse,[2][3] traumatic events, memory and dissociation. Editors of the book Dissociation and the dissociative disorders: DSM-V and beyond describe the ISSTD as "The principle professional organization devoted to dissociation".[4]

The ISSTD has published guidelines for the treatment of dissociative identity disorder in both adults and children[5][6][7] through its peer-reviewed Journal of Trauma & Dissociation (formerly Dissociation: Progress in the Dissociative Disorders),[8][9] published five times per year.[10][11] These guidelines are often referenced in the field as a basic starting point for psychotherapy with highly dissociative clients.[5][12][13][14][15]

The ISSMP&D's official journal, Dissociation: Progress in the Dissociative Disorders ceased operation after 39 issues (March 1988-December 1997), though its full-text contents have since been made available online.[16]

Criticisms

On April 2nd, 2016 an activist sub-group of The Satanic Temple called Grey Faction hosted a protest outside of the ISSTD annual conference in San Francisco, CA, to "draw attention to the practices endorsed by the ISSTD, the conspiracism rampant within their membership, and the organization’s possible role in the death of Jude Mirra."[17]

Legal Cases

"In 1995, a former patient sued Bennett Braun MD, a founder and former president of ISSTD, claiming that he’d convinced her that she’d engaged in Satanic rituals, cannibalism, and infanticide. She received a $10.6 million dollar settlement. In 1999 Illinois state officials issued a temporary suspension of his medical license, yet he remains in practice in another state."[18]


History

The USA-based ISSTD was officially formed in 1984 under the name of the International Society for the Study of Multiple Personality and Dissociation but changed to the International Society for the Study of Dissociation in 1994 and then to its current name in November 2006.[2][4][19][20]

The organization was resolved to be founded by Myron Boor, Bennett Braun, David Caul, Jane Dubrow, George Greaves, Richard Kluft, Frank Putnam and Roberta Sachs, a group of physicians and psychologists. Its first annual conference was held in December of the same year.[9] By the end of the 1980s, membership approached 2,000.[21]
