Ongoing Studies

Check back periodically to see if there are any new opportunities to contribute to current understandings of trauma and dissociation!

There is one study currently available for adults who are diagnosed with any mental health disorder that includes dissociation. The study advertisement is as follows:

I am a Fielding Graduate University clinical psychology doctoral student exploring the lived experience of dissociation. The aim of this study is to explore different meaning making pathways of dissociation and what living with dissociation has meant to you. Participation in this research will involve one 60-90 minute interview. Participation in this research is voluntary and your identity will remain confidential.

To participate you must be 18 or older and diagnosed with a mental health disorder that includes dissociation at some point in your lifetime. Participants will receive a $20 Visa card as compensation for their time commitment.

To participate, please contact: Janette Stringer at: blackbirdresearch@lightalwayswins.org

Please contact me if you'd like to be added to an email list and alerted when new studies are available. Both dissociative individuals and mental health professionals may request to receive study alerts.
