Preliminary Investigation of the Reliability and Validity of the German Version of the State Scale of Dissociation (SSD)

Year: 2013

Type: article

Abstract: Background: This study evaluated a German translation of the State Scale of Dissociation (SSD), a self-report measure of state dissociation. Methods: Consecutively treated out- and day-care patients with (n = 27) and without a dissociative disorder (n = 90) were assessed with the SSD and the Multidimensional Inventory for Dissociation. Results: The German SSD showed good reliability, good concurrent and convergent validity, and was sensitive to change in symptoms. Discriminant validity at the subscale level was limited. Conclusion: The German SSD is a reliable and valid measure for the assessment of state dissociation in general psychiatric out- and day-care patients.
