Pierre Janet's L'Automatisme psychologique, originally published in
1889, is one of the earliest and most important books written on
the study of trauma and dissociation. Here it is made available, in
two volumes, in English for the first time, with a new preface by
Giuseppe Craparo and Onno van der Hart. Catalepsy, Memory, and
Suggestion in Psychological Automatism, the first volume, examines
three aspects of trauma and dissociation. Janet first explores
catalepsy and analogous states, including comparing catalepsy to
somnambulism, then discusses somnambulism, memory, and forgetting.
Finally, Janet considers suggestion, amnesia, and distraction, as
well as considering characteristics of suggestible individuals.
Janet's work is an unsurpassed experimental study of human actions
in their simplest and most rudimentary forms, and a fundamental
contribution to our understanding of trauma-related dissociation.
This seminal work will be of great interest to researchers and
students of psychoanalysis, philosophy, and modernism, as well as
psychotherapists and psychoanalysts working with clients who have
experienced trauma. It is accompanied by Subconscious Acts,
Anesthesias, and Psychological Disaggregation in Psychological
Automatism: Partial Automatism.
