  • Class 1-2 Mastering the DSM 5: Accurate Diagnosing and Effective Treatment Planning!
    April 9, 2024
    10:00 am - 1:00 pm
Jane K. Tambree´, LCSW-C

Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), formerly known as Multiple Personality Disorder, sheds light on the mind’s remarkable adaptive response to enduring and harrowing childhood traumas.  The experience of the mind’s fracturing to tolerate horrific and sustained traumatic events, typically in childhood, is an underlying causal factor. Ranging from systems with just two alters to those with an indeterminate number, each alter carries a unique role, memories, physical attributes, skills, needs, and preferences, forming a dynamic landscape of intricacies.

For clinicians interested in working with people having experienced early trauma, it is imperative that one be versed in how to assess for D.I.D, so as not to misdiagnoses and further harm and delay the client’s healing. This new training will approach this adaptive use of the mind’s fracturing through the lens of an art form, allowing the client to survive then thrive from long standing, severe trauma that was stored away from the conscious mind.

About the Presenter

Jane Tambree’ has been a social worker for 38 years. She specializes in working with marginalized and underserved people. An overriding concern for most of her clients has been early trauma. Her clients can be found in jails, prisons, maximum security forensic hospitals and non profit agencies. The focus of care has varied from jail diversion to treatment to advocacy. She identifies as a psychiatric and forensic social worker and has incredible gratitude to those who allowed her to join them on their respective paths.

Learning Objectives:

This webinar will challenge the existing patriarchal perspective that DID is a controversial (created) diagnosis often leading to misdiagnoses and further harm and delay to the client.

We will approach this adaptive use of the mind’s fracturing through the lens of an art form, allowing the client to survive then thrive from long standing, severe trauma that was stored away from the conscious mind.

Terminology used by the DID community will be discussed.

Participants will learn how to assess, diagnose and provide interventions for the individual client as appropriate.

The use of self, as practitioner, will be a focus of attention so as to control for countertransference.

Participants will be exposed to a clinician’s internal system and how it is navigated.

Active participation is encouraged, particularly during the question and answer portion of the webinar.
