This study examined the effectiveness of a moving meditation known as Tai Chi Chuan (TCC) in reducing dissociative experiences. TCC is a centuries-old practice of slow, fluid movements, and is based in Taoist philosophy. This philosophy espouses the integration of opposites in humans and nature. Dissociation is understood to fall along a continuum, and it is conceptualized as the dis-integration of psychic experience. It was hypothesized that the integrative experience of TCC would have a positive effect in reducing dissociative experiences in participants. In addition, it was hypothesized that TCC would reduce distressing psychological symptoms in general. Treatment of dissociation and other psychological symptoms are possible clinical applications that could result from this research. This study utilized a randomized, controlled, pretest-posttest design to examine the outcome of TCC taught to a group of veterans twice weekly for 4 weeks. Participants were randomly assigned to a treatment or a control group. All participants completed a battery of measures consisting of the Dissociative Experiences Scale (DES) and the Symptom Checklist-90-Revised (SCL-90-R). The results were improvements in both the treatment and control conditions across both measures, while there was not a statistically significant difference between treatment and control groups for the main questions under study. Possible methodological flaws are reviewed and findings discussed in light of the literature. Future directions for research in this area are also proposed.
