Overview

Recent evidence regarding dissociation indicates that this concept is particularly useful for psychopathology, psychiatry and clinical diagnostics. According to clinical experience right and early diagnostics of dissociative symptoms presents important factor for treatment and unrecognizing of the symptoms may be a reason of treatment resistance. With respect to these findings the article reviews recent psychometric possibilities to assess dissociative symptoms with main focus to self-reported questionnaires, scales and structured interviews but other comprehensive methods useful for diagnostic practice are also shortly reviewed.

Key words:
dissociation, dissociative disorders, psychodiagnostics, self report methods.
