Area of Science:

  • Psychiatry
  • Psychology
  • Digital Health

Background:

  • Pathological dissociation (PD) presents treatment challenges due to high costs, limited specialized services, and stigma.
  • Many individuals with PD cannot access necessary dissociation-focused interventions in their current locations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and assess the feasibility and acceptability of a web-based psychoeducation program for individuals with PD.
  • To provide an accessible intervention for those unable to access specialized dissociation treatment.

Main Methods:

  • A pilot study utilized a single-group pretest-posttest design.
  • The study evaluated a novel web-based psychoeducation program.

Main Results:

  • The program demonstrated feasibility and acceptability among participants.
  • Most intended psychosocial outcomes were achieved as planned, indicating positive initial results.

Conclusions:

  • This study is among the first to report on web-based interventions for pathological dissociation, particularly for early-stage recovery.
  • Information and communication technology holds potential for enhancing various aspects of clinical practice in mental health.
  • Further research and discussion are needed to explore the full potential of digital interventions in supporting individuals with PD.
