Online version of the Dissociative Experiences Scale (DES/DES-II), a self-report measure of the frequency of dissociative experiences in daily life, ranging from normal experiences (e.g., absorption, everyday memory lapses) to more pathological forms (e.g., amnesia, depersonalization, derealization).

The Dissociative Experiences Scale Taxon (DES-T) is an 8-item subset of the DES-II, identified through taxometric analysis to specifically reflect pathological dissociation, such as amnesia, depersonalization, and derealization.
