Course Information
Learning Objectives
1) Define dissociative symptoms based upon the phenomenological model of dissociation, upon which the MID is based. 2) Complete administration, scoring, and navigation of the MID Analysis to input test-taker response and view results. 3) Interpret results of the MID Report and identify keys areas of focus for the follow-up interview. 4) Describe and identify indicators that an individual’s MID results may require complex differential diagnosis due to factors such as response bias and false-positive diagnosis. 5) Complete a clinical interview to clarify MID results, inform differential diagnosis, and inform the direction of treatment. 6) Describe several unique applications of the MID Report, based on case examples, and how the MID can be used to clarify diagnosis and guide treatment planning in both clinical and consultation roles.

Level of Content
Advanced. Attendance of a previous introductory workshop by the presenters or prior familiarity with the MID and key concepts of pathological dissociation is highly recommended.
Workshop Summary
This workshop offers updated and expanded clinical application and differential diagnosis material based upon recent research, literature, and the presenters’ experience in consultation focused on the MID with hundreds of clinicians world-wide. Participants will be guided through to the MID in this ‘walk-through,’ during which they will learn to administer and score the MID; navigate the MID Analysis to enter data, interpret results, and conduct a follow-up interview; and begin to understand how the information offered up by The MID Report may influence treatment. Vignettes will assist clinicians to connect MID impressions with what clinicians may see (or have already seen) in client sessions. Case examples will be discussed, with particular attention paid to how certain clusters of dissociative symptoms could influence a clinician's decisions regarding the use of specific kinds of preparation and trauma accessing methods. Implications for stabilization and potential markers for readiness for trauma accessing, both in an EMDR therapy frame and more generally, will be offered. MID documents are available without charge to mental health professionals and researchers at www.mid-assessment.com. Participants are highly encouraged to download and review the MID Analysis, MID (questionnaire), and the MID Interpretive Manual in preparation for this workshop.
