A Spanish translation of the DES was prepared and utilized. Qualitative and quantitative statistical analyses revealed that the DES is a useful screening instrument to detect dissociative disorder patients. A cut-off of 35 points on the DES produced not a single false negative case of MPD and only a few ostensible cases of false-positive identifications.356727 bytesapplication/pdfen-USDissociation : Vol. 8, No. 1, p. 014-023 : The use of the Dissociative Experiences Scale in Puerto RicoThe use of the Dissociative Experiences Scale in Puerto RicoArticle
