title: Working with the center: psychiatric rehabilitation with people who dissociate.
abstract: Psychiatric rehabilitation is a model of health care helping that is useful in an increasing range of mental health situations. To date, little has been written about using this approach with persons who have survived more severe trauma and who may dissociate. This descriptive paper reviews dissociation, the impact of childhood trauma on rehabilitation and offers suggestions on how to increase the success of the process for these people.
