Data collection has started!

If you’re a mental health professional that fulfils the criteria – we’d be grateful if you could spare a few minutes for this survey.

We’re proud to support this body of work, which aims to improve the landscape for care for DPDR.

We’re excited to share this study for UK-based mental health professionals to take part in — as it aims to explore barriers to the recognition, diagnosis and treatment of Depersonalisation Derealisation Disorder (DDD).

What drives #dissociation? In adults with #PTSD (some with #DID), extreme negative beliefs like “there’s something wrong with me as a person” were linked to dissociation. When these beliefs decreased during treatment, so did dissociation. Free article: https://t.co/X01AjHUNvR

Today is #DIDAwarenessDay. DID isn’t rare-& who bears the greatest burden of dissociative symptoms isn’t random. Our new paper finds higher provisional DID prevalence among marginalized racial groups and gender-diverse people. 50 free copies: https://t.co/cD99DSltgY

Are you a therapist who treats clients with dissociative disorders? See the attached recruitment ad for more details about a study on therapists’ experiences working with these clients around themes of death and dying!

Is the "Sense of Reality" in the physical world actually different from the "Sense of Presence" in VR? 🧠🥽

I’m thrilled to announce my first lead-author, theoretical paper is out now in Perspectives in Psychological Science!

We argue: No. Presence IS Reality.

A thread 🧵👇

[Evelyn Dilkes @EvieDilkes]

📣📣New preprint! We show that hyper-reflexivity — an intensified self-focused attention — is strongly linked to depersonalisation & derealisation symptoms, more so than general rumination. Suggests a more specific cognitive mechanism for Depersonalisation-Derealisation Disorder

Some academics still seem to be here... I have no idea where (online) everyone is gathering these days, so I'm going to shout into every void about our fantastic new paper, authored by our brilliant grad student, analysed by our superb CompSci colleagues: https://t.co/wcdb1guE3N

Cold hands, altered ownership? We link disturbed body ownership in stroke patients to reduced hand temperature and impaired thermoception. The right Insula & Parietal hubs are key players. We are excited to share our new findings @NatureComms ➡️https://t.co/irprsp3eJO

New publication alert ⭐️ We conducted a thematic analysis of therapists’ experiences working with clients with DID. They had unique experiences in and relationships to their practice. This group needs more attention!
