DOI: 10.13056/acamh.26252

In this Papers Podcast, Lottie Shipp discusses her JCPP Advances paper ‘The relationship between dissociation and panic symptoms in adolescence and the exploration of potential mediators’ (https://doi.org/10.1002/jcv2.12202). Lottie is the lead author of the paper.

There is an overview of the paper, methodology, key findings, and implications for practice.

Discussion points include:

• Definition of ‘dissociation’ and insight into the subtype ‘felt sense of anomaly dissociation’.
• The difference between ‘cognitive reappraisal strategies’ and ‘cognitive appraisal of dissociation’.
• How common panic disorders are and the impact of panic symptoms in young people.
• Implications of the study for researchers, clinicians, and practitioners.
• The importance of the relevance and interpretation of dissociative experiences.

In this series, we speak to authors of papers published in one of ACAMH’s three journals. These are The Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry (JCPP); The Child and Adolescent Mental Health (CAMH) journal; and JCPP Advances.
