European Society for Trauma and Dissociation (ESTD) is a nonprofit organisation, established by and for professionals to share information about chronic traumatization and its effects, and about dissociation in general and dissociative disorders in particular. ==History== ESTD was formally established on April 28, 2006 in Amsterdam, Netherlands. Members in the organisation include psychologists, social workers, psychiatrists, nurses, psychotherapists, counselors, art therapists, researchers, advocates, clergy, and others with an interest in the study and treatment of psychological trauma and dissociation. These members come from a variety of clinical and non-clinical settings in Europe and other areas, including public health facilities, private practice and universities. The ESTD administration is currently operating from Zeist, Netherlands. The first meeting of ESTD's founders was convened by Ellert Nijenhuis and took place in Hilden, Germany in July 2005. The society was officially registered as a professional nonprofit organisation in 2006. The idea of establishing a European society for trauma and dissociation was first conceived by ESTD's past presidents Eli Somer and Remy Aquarone during their service on the board of directors of the USA-based International Society for the Study of Trauma and Dissociation (ISSTD) with the vision of developing the ISSTD as a United Nations-like organisation composed of continental, regional and national societies. Although the two organisations maintain close professional links, they have become administratively separate. The field of trauma seems to be split in Europe, as it is elsewhere. Explorations for possible mergers with other European trauma societies, such as the European Society of Traumatic Stress Studies (interested primarily in the outcome of single trauma) and EMDR-Europe (interested primarily in a specific treatment technique) have not come to fruition, however, the ESTSS and the ESTD have established an affiliate relationship. ESTD has invested resources in promoting knowledge about trauma and dissociation in Eastern Europe (e.g., Romania) and is endorsing activities by national component organisations (e.g., Trauma and Dissociation Israel). ESTD has national representatives in the following countries: Austria, Belgium, Belarus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Georgia, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, Ukraine and United Kingdom. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「European Society for Trauma and Dissociation」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
