This book takes a deeper look into the darker side of the human
condition by examining the psyches of those who have been victims
or survivors of heinous acts perpetrated by others. From the
"personal Holocaust" of sexual abuse in the family, to the
genocidal persecution during "the" Holocaust, and from the shared
national horror of September 11 to the Palestinian/Israeli
situation, a special model of the traumatized mind is evolved to
further our understanding of such "dark matters". The traditional
models of the mind fall short when dealing with extraordinary
people under ordinary conditions as well as with ordinary people
under extraordinary conditions. This metapsychology is organized
around the defensive operations of repression or splitting. In the
model proposed here, defensive altered states of consciousness, or
dissociation seems more helpful. A historical perspective is
offered, from Freud and Breuer, with their Studies on Hysteria, to
current thinking about dissociative disorders. A developmental line
of dissociation is also explored.
