Abstract
p. 016-027The authors review a wide range of studies that relate to the norms, reliability, and validity of the Dissociative Experiences Scale (DES). Appropriate clinical and research use of the scale are discussed together with factor analytic studies and fruitful statistical analysis methods. Current research with the DES is described and promising new research questions are highlighted. Suggestions are made for translating and using the DES in other cultures. A second version of the DES, which is easier to score, is included as an appendix
