Welcome to Blue Knot Foundation’s Practice Guidelines portal

Between 2012 and 2019 the clinical and research evidence around working clinically with complex trauma, including dissociation has exploded. This has necessitated the development of our 2019 updated Practice Guidelines for Clinical Treatment of Complex Trauma.
Again these guidelines have been extensively endorsed and acclaimed by global leaders in the complex trauma and dissociation field prior to their release – ‘truly remarkable – masterful - ground-breaking - milestone’.

They provide an integrative guide for diverse practitioners working with complex trauma and dissociative clients.
In addition a companion guide to the 2019 Guidelines – combined Complementary Guidelines which provide an overview of the differences between working with complex trauma clients and standard counseling approaches as well as a guide to therapist competencies for working with complex trauma and dissociation.
