An Update on the Dissociative Experiences Scale

Reviews that relate to the validity of the DES. A 2nd version of the DES, which is easier to score, is included as an appendix.

Resource Abstract

“Reviews studies that relate to the norms, reliability, and validity of the Dissociative Experiences Scale (DES). Appropriate clinical and research use of the scale are discussed together with factor analytic studies and fruitful statistical analysis methods. Research reported for 1989–1992 with the DES is described, and promising new research questions are highlighted. Suggestions are made for translating and using the DES in other cultures. A 2nd version of the DES, which is easier to score, is included as an appendix.”
