In collaboration with Milissa Kaufman, the goals of this study will be 1) to understand the differential biomarkers that map onto dissociative symptoms, and 2) to understand how these biomarkers may best predict trajectory of response to empirically based standard-of-care treatments. This naturalistic study will allow us to map the biology of dissociation, and importantly, the change in dissociative symptoms and underlying biomarkers over time, using naturalistic evidenced-based treatment for PTSD in 240 treatment-seeking patients with PTSD, and a range of dissociation.

In collaboration with Kerry Ressler and Milissa Kaufman, the major goals of this study were to characterize brain system abnormalities present in patients with dissociative symptoms and diagnoses of either post-traumatic stress disorder or dissociative identity disorder.
