“…These included group and individual formats, single and multiple session interventions, and in-person and asynchronous online interventions tested for PTSD, social- or test-related anxiety, and DPD. 72 , 73 , 75 , 76 DBT and Systems Training for Emotional Predictability and Problem Solving (STEPPS) both equally improved dissociative symptoms in BPD, 71 but Mindfulness-based CBT (MCBT) did not, 74 despite very similar, moderately severe baseline DES scores (26.02[SD = 14.13] vs 25.0[SD = 20.2]). Dissociation was a secondary objective in all but two studies: one focused on DPD, 72 and the other on depersonalization induced by test anxiety in university students.…”

“…Dissociation was a secondary objective in all but two studies: one focused on DPD, 72 and the other on depersonalization induced by test anxiety in university students. 76 Other skills-based interventions, incorporating psychoeducation and cognitive approaches, with or without coping skills, were described in an additional eight studies, improving dissociation in six (Table 1). These treatments were usually delivered in a group format (n = 6) and often included psychoeducation pertaining to symptoms of trauma and/or PTSD and an interactive component between group members.…”

Purpose: We undertook a systematic review and meta-analysis of intervention research studies focused on strengthening the social information-processing (SIP) skills of children. Methods: A systematic search and review process was employed to identify, screen, and summarize research on SIP-guided interventions. Results: The search recovered 183,184 citations published from 1997 to 2022. After screening, 42 articles were retained for a full-text review. Findings from the 15 studies using more rigorous designs [i.e., 8 individual-level randomized control trials (RCTs), 5 cluster-level RCTs, and 2 quasi-experimental studies with statistical controls for selectivity] suggest that SIP-focused interventions produced statistically significant treatment effects on cognitive skills, with mean effect sizes of 0.35 on encoding, 0.13 on hostile attribution bias, 0.13 on goal formulation, 0.16 on response decision, and—more behaviorally—0.37 on aggressive and disruptive comportment. Conclusions: SIP-focused interventions are effective. If widely implemented, they hold the potential to reduce aggressive behavior in childhood.

“…Psychopathology, dissociation, and SCC should be routinely assessed when sexually abused women consult for treatment. To reduce psychopathology, professionals might benefit from addressing SCC and dissociation, using targeted therapeutic interventions, especially those enhancing mentalization regarding self and others ( Ensink et al, 2017 ) as well as interventions involving focus on attention and perception—found to be effective in reducing depersonalization and derealization (e.g., Donnelly & Neziroglu, 2010 ; Schweden et al, 2020 ). The current findings suggest that detachment may be approached in therapy through the concept of self.…”

Background: Despite a robust consensus regarding the potentially negative implications of childhood sexual abuse (CSA), research investigating risk and protective factors—particularly among well-functioning young adults—is scant. Dissociation is one of the major maladaptive outcomes of CSA. Nevertheless, CSA explains only about 10% of the variance of dissociation. Possibly, this modest effect size is due to protective factors moderating the relation between CSA and dissociative symptoms. One such factor may be the extent to which one has succeeded in developing a clear and coherent sense of who they are. Objective: We aimed to explore whether self-concept clarity (SCC) moderates the relationship between CSA and dissociation (Model 1), and an alternative hypothesis, whereby CSA may moderate the relationship between SCC and dissociation (Model 2). Participants and Setting: This was tested among 65 well-functioning young women drawn from an earlier study that intentionally oversampled CSA survivors. Methods: We included data from survivors of CSA by a known perpetrator ( n = 35) and women with no sexual trauma ( n = 30). Results: Findings were consistent with both Model 1 and Model 2, but only when depersonalization-derealization, namely detachment, was considered. Simple effects analyses revealed that CSA was related to depersonalization-derealization only under low SCC levels (Model 1), and SCC was negatively related to depersonalization-derealization only in the CSA group (Model 2). Conclusions: Findings suggest that SCC is a protective factor, buffering the association between CSA and detachment (depersonalization-derealization) symptoms. Clinical implications are discussed.
