 In this presentation three forms of disturbaces of selforganisation will be presented based on a model. Next, study results demonstrate that three trans-diagnostic domains of functioning (i.e. affect regulation, dissociation, and relational impairment) – in their separate inhibitory and excitatory forms – that are associated with the DESNOS formulation of CPTSD and BPD can be distinguished. Moreover, they statistically mediate the relationship between childhood trauma and CPTSD/DESNOS independent of the effects of BPD-symptoms. Although mediator variables linking childhood trauma to BPD and CPTSD/DESNOS were similar in several respects, they appear to represent distinct paths that are not simply a function of BPD. This inference is in line with previous studies that found that CPTSD/DESNOS can be differentiated from BPD and PTSD.

Annemiek van Dijke, PhD is a licensed clinical neuropsychologist, clinical psychologist and psychotherapist specialized in the assessment and treatment of traumarelated disturbances of selforganisation in PTSD, CPTSD, DESNOS, BPD, somatic symptoms disorder or FNS and dissociative disorders. She initiated with TNO the Dutch treatment guidelines for Conversion disorder and FNS. Her teaching was awarded with the Utrecht University Psychology Teacher of the year award, and her research on the underlying mechanisms of disturbances of selforganisation was awarded by the ISSTD. She published over 40 peer-reviewed articles, book chapters, and conference papers and edited two books on Neuropsychology and psychotherapy and Psychotherapy of Traumatic Brain Injury *e.g. in traumarelated disorders. She is a former boardmember treasurer of the ESTD and organized two conferences for the ESTD. She is a senior researcher at Leiden University Medical Hospital for digital innovations LUMC NeLL.
