Debunking the Dissociative Experiences Scale. Dr Robert Stern, TAM 2014

Описание: Robert Stern's insightful and funny talk "The Mystifying, Mis-defining, and Mis-diagnosing of Dissociation." Given at The Amazing Meeting in 2014. A meeting organized by the James Randi Educational Foundation. Full video available here:    • Sunday Papers at TAM  

Dr Robert Stern at the time of this talk was a psychiatrist, and Clinical Director of Behavioral Health Services in Iowa Falls, Iowa.

Dr Stern tells me he is now "happily retired." He tells me a preliminary article was printed in Skeptic:
Stern, R., & McDonald, M. (2013). Diagnosing dissociation: or why measuring multiple personalities doesn't work. Skeptic [Altadena, CA], 18(4), 40+. https://go.gale.com/ps/anonymous?id=G...

You should be able to access that Skeptic article if you have access to university databases or VPN (I could). If you can't get to the full pdf, please email me at [email protected].

I am reposting this single talk here because it is unsearchable on YouTube (search terms dissociative, etc), and I only found it because somebody emailed it to me. I asked Robert Stern if I could cut it out and repost it so that people can find it, and he said yes ("You're more than welcome to the talk" he said in an email on 19 Nov 2020).

Insightful and funny in places.
