The Multidimensional Inventory of Dissociation (MID) is a valuable assessment tool for EMDR Therapists to use to determine the presence of pathological dissociation and readiness for desensitization. Participants will learn to administer, score, and interpret results of the MID Report. Detailed illustrations, clinical interview tips, case examples, and use in consultation will be reviewed. MID documents are available without charge to mental health professionals at http://www.mid-assessment.com/.
