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. The second volume,
Subconscious Acts, Anesthesias, and Psychological Disaggregation in
Psychological Automatism, covers four main topics. Beginning with
an examination of subconscious acts, Janet first assesses partial
catalepsies, subconscious acts, and posthypnotic suggestions, then
proceeds to a consideration of anesthesias and simultaneous
psychological existences. This is followed by discussion of several
forms of psychological disaggregation, including spiritism,
impulsive madness, hallucinations, and possessions. Finally, Janet
considers elements of mental weakness and strength, from misery to
judgement and will. Janet's work, with its many descriptions of
dissociative actions and the dissociative personality, will help
clinicians and researchers to develop insight in trauma-related
dissociation, and to become more adapt at relating to their
patients' dissociative actions. 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 Catalepsy, Memory, and Suggestion in Psychological Automatism:
Total Automatism.
