Does anyone know of any particular diagnostic assessments that are used to see if one is dissociating? I've seen a couple online, but I doubt they've been thoroughly studied. Besides just a therapist's observation of seeing a person change personalities, what sort of tests show it?

I guess I'm sort of playing therapist instead of letting my therapist know what's going on. I thought maybe I could lead them into doing these assessments so that I could get some clue of what's going on. I don't want to mention anything about dissociation to them for fear that they will look for it in me or that they might deny the existence of it as a disorder. I'd like to have the information and be prepared first.

I took the MMPI many years ago; not sure if that would say anything about dissociation. I have a degree in psychology and a masters in counseling from years ago, but I can't remember any of my classes or what I learned. Major bummer. I never practiced, thank goodness. Knew I wasn't together enough.

Thanks again for being here.
