Abstract
(from the chapter) Notes that despite progress in identifying, characterizing, and quantitatively assessing dissociative states, there has been little study of their neurobiology and few pharmacological trials specifically aimed at reducing dissociation. This chapter reviews a series of studies in posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) patients and healthy Ss that have utilized psychopharmacological processes to evoke or suppress dissociative states in patients or perceptual alterations resembling dissociation in healthy individuals. Implications of these studies for the evaluation of novel pharmacotherapies for dissociative states in PTSD patients are considered.
