DESII
Dissociation (DES-II)
The Dissociative Experiences Scale II (DES-II) is a 28-item self-report questionnaire developed by Eve Carlson and Frank Putnam (1993) to measure dissociative experiences in daily life. Dissociation refers to moments of disconnection from one's thoughts, memory, surroundings, actions, or identity. Everyone experiences mild dissociation occasionally (e.g., zoning out while driving), but persistent or intense dissociation can be linked to trauma, anxiety, or dissociative disorders. This simplified 5-point version measures how often each experience happens to you.

Disclaimer: Based on the Dissociative Experiences Scale II (Carlson & Putnam, 1993), simplified from a 0-100% VAS to a 5-point Likert format for digital delivery. Original DES-II placed in the public domain by its authors. Educational screening only, not a clinical diagnosis. Elevated scores are not proof of a dissociative disorder and may reflect trauma, stress, sleep deprivation, or other conditions. Please consult a qualified trauma-informed mental health professional for clinical evaluation.
