“…Sensorimotor dissociative symptoms strongly correlate with cognitive-emotional dissociative symptoms (Müller et al 2010(Müller et al , 2013Nijenhuis 2009), and PTSD symptoms (Nijenhuis et al 2004;Schild and Dalenberg 2012). Cognitive-emotional and sensorimotor dissociative symptoms, PTSD symptoms, and reported adverse events were all negatively correlated with the hippocampal and parahippocampal gyrus volume (Ehling et al 2008).…”

Key words: PTSD, dissociative disorders, dissociation of the personality, cognitive-emotional dissociative symptoms, sensorimotor dissociative symptoms, psychophysiology, neurobiology DSM-5 includes a subtype of PTSD 'with dissociative symptoms'. However, as presented and discussed in this article, there are solid conceptual, theoretical, empirical, and clinical reasons to comprehend and classify any form of PTSD as a dissociative disorder. The conceptual grounds pertain to philosophical principles seldom discussed or realized in the field of psychotraumatology. The theoretical grounds particularly involve the understanding of dissociation as a division of the personality as a whole biopsychosocial system in two or more conscious subsystems. Empirical reasons include the presence of cognitive-emotional and sensorimotor dissociative symptoms-i.e., manifestations of a dissociation of the personality--in PTSD. There are also major structural and functional neural commonalities between PTSD and complex dissociative disorders. Clinically, there is close correspondence at the level of assessment and treatment. PTSD and dissociative identity disorder can be parsimoniously conceived as minor and major forms of personality dissociation, as Pierre Janet would have avowed.

“…The psychometric properties are excellent (Loevinger scalability coefficient = 0.5, Cronbach's alpha = 0.95, split half reliability = 0.93; high correlations with realted measures and differentiation between different dissociative diagnoses) (Nijenhuis, et al, 1996). The German version used in this study showed excellent psychometric properties as well (Cronbach's alpha = 0.91, testretest reliability = 0.89; good differentiation between dissociative and non-dissociative diagnostic groups and correlations with related measures) (Mueller-Pfeiffer, et al, 2010).…”

This study evaluated the psychometric properties of the German adaptation of the Traumatic Experiences Checklist (TEC), a comprehensive questionnaire for the assessment of adverse and potentially traumatic experiences in childhood and adult life. Participants were recruited from in-and outpatient units of 7 psychiatric services in Switzerland and Germany and from private practitioners of psychiatry and psychotherapy (N = 287). Participants were assessed by self-rating scales, diagnostic checklists, and diagnostic interviews. A subgroup of 67 participants recompleted the TEC 3 to 5 weeks following the first assessment. High correlations between TEC scores and Childhood Trauma Questionnaire scores confirmed criterion validity of the TEC. Construct validity was confirmed by the association of TEC scores with symptom scores of posttraumatic stress, dissociation, anxiety, and depression. The TEC showed high reliability (Cronbach's = 0.85 to 0.94 for total scores, test-retest correlation = 0.94 to 0.95 for total scores). The psychometric properties of the German adaptation of the TEC are excellent. The TEC is useful to assess adverse and potentially traumatic experiences in clinical work and research.
