ABSTRACT
Sleeping Dogs treatment for children with dissociative disorders requires some specific aspects such as working with the child’s parts and switching, the anxiety for attachment and emotions, and family relationships. The treatment of conversion needs more work on emotion and stress regulation. People with an intellectual disability can profit greatly from trauma-focused treatment with the Sleeping Dogs method. Their network and caregivers need to be involved and they often need extensive psychoeducation and bodywork. The Sleeping Dogs method can be adapted to the cultural context of children and families.
