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. Since 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, a special model of
the traumatized mind is evolved to further our understanding of
such dark matters. 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 offered. Extensive case material is
presented to illustrate theoretical as well as the technical
challenges of working with the lapses of memory, unbearable
affects, and countertransference demands upon the clinician.
