Call for Submissions for a Special Issue of the Journal of Trauma & Dissociation

Trauma and Dissociation in South and Southeast Asia: Culture, Context, and Clinical Practice.

This Journal of Trauma & Dissociation Special Issue seeks to bring to the foreground research and clinical knowledge from South and Southeast Asia, inviting work that deepens the understanding of how trauma and dissociation are experienced, conceptualised, assessed, and treated within specific local and regional contexts.

ISSTD members Adithy, Ph.D., Gayitri Bhatt, M.D., M.Sc., & Sukanya Ray, M.Phil., are this special issue’s guest editors. More information about this special issue and call for submissions is available here: https://think.taylorandfrancis.com/special_issues/trauma-dissociation-south-southeast-asia-culture-context-clinical-practice/
