Sharpen is honored to collaborate with Timothy D. Brewerton, MD to offer this five-part training on Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID)which begins with a therapy session in which Dr. Brewerton discovers that a woman who came to him for help with her depression and binge eating, in actuality, suffered from dissociative identity disorder (DID) and a history of heartbreaking trauma.  This moving case inspired his clinical research interest in trauma and eating disorders (ED) for the decades that would follow.
 
In the course, participants will view archival video clips taken at various stages during the course of treatment that illustrate the dissociative process and the presence of the various alters identified.  As Dr. Brewerton connects with Sylvia’s different alters as she processes her extensive traumas, participants will have a rare opportunity to observe the process of her full integration.
