i am looking for a good dissociation questionnaire, other than the DES. i would like something that had been validated and has been cited often.
Hey Daniel
i will use the DES but as my study concerns dissociative participants i was looking for another measure in order to make my findings more robust.

Hi LIlac
I wonder whether this would be appropriate for your research needs:
Birmes P, Brunet A, Benoit M, Defer S, Hatton L, Sztulman H, Schmitt L: Validation of the Peritraumatic Dissociative Experiences Questionnaire self-report version in two samples of French-speaking individuals exposed to trauma. Eur Psychiatry 2005, 20(2):145-151.

Lilac,
See http://www.johnbriere.com/multiscale.htm for more details. If you want a scale that measures a day-to-day consequence of dissociation is Broadbent et al.'s cognitive failure questionnaire. It is compared with the DES in the linked paper.
Article Dissociation, cognitive failures, and working memory
The most robust objective diagnostic measure of dissociative disorders is the multidimensional inventory of dissociation (MID).
