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.
Rediscovering Pierre Janet explores the legacy left by the
pioneering French psychologist, philosopher and psychotherapist
(1859-1947), from the relationship of between Janet and Freud, to
the influence of his dissociation theory on contemporary
psychotraumatology. Divided into three parts, the first section
places Janetian psychological analysis and psychoanalysis in
context with the foundational tenets of psychoanalysis, from Freud
to relational theory, before the book explores Janet's work on
trauma and dissociation and its influence on contemporary thinking.
Part three presents several contemporary psychotherapy approaches
directly influenced by Janetian theory, including the treatment of
posttraumatic stress disorder and dissociative identity disorder.
Rediscovering Pierre Janet draws together eminent scholars from a
variety of backgrounds, each of whom has developed Janetian
constructs according to his or her own theoretical and clinical
models. It provides an integrative approach that offers
contemporary perspectives on Janet's work, and will be of
significant interest to practicing psychoanalysts, psychiatrists
and psychotherapists, especially those treating trauma-related
dissociative disorders, as well as researchers with an interest in
psychological trauma.
They typically have a wide array of symptoms, often classified
under different combinations of comorbidity, which can make
assessment and treatment complicated and confusing for the
therapist. Many patients have substantial problems with daily
living and relationships, including serious intrapsychic conflicts
and maladaptive coping strategies. Their suffering essentially
relates to a terrifying and painful past that haunts them. Even
when survivors attempt to hide their distress beneath a facade of
normality-a common strategy-therapists often feel besieged by their
many symptoms and serious pain. Small wonder that many survivors of
chronic traumatization have seen several therapists with little if
any gains, and that quite a few have been labeled as untreatable or
resistant. In this book, three leading researchers and clinicians
share what they have learned from treating and studying chronically
traumatized individuals across more than 65 years of collective
experience. Based on the theory of structural dissociation of the
personality in combination with a Janetian psychology of action,
the authors have developed a model of phase-oriented treatment that
focuses on the identification and treatment of structural
dissociation and related maladaptive mental and behavioral actions.
The foundation of this approach is to support patients in learning
more effective mental and behavioral actions that will enable them
to become more adaptive in life and to resolve their structural
dissociation. This principle implies an overall therapeutic goal of
raising the integrative capacity, in order to cope with the demands
of daily life and deal with the haunting remnants of the past, with
the "unfinished business" of traumatic memories. Of interest to
clinicians, students of clinical psychology and psychiatry, as well
as to researchers, all those interested in adult survivors of
chronic child abuse and neglect will find helpful insights and
tools that may make the treatment more effective and efficient, and
more tolerable for the suffering patient.
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

Pierre Janet's De l'Automatisme Psychologique, originally published

Therapists around the world ask similar questions and struggle with
similar challenges treating highly dissociative patients. This book
arose not only out of countless hours of treating patients with
dissociative disorders, but also out of the crucible of supervision
and consultation, where therapists bring their most urgent
questions, needs and vulnerabilities. The book offers an overview
of the neuropsychology of dissociation as a disorder of
non-realisation, as well as chapters on assessment, prognosis, case
formulation, treatment planning, and treatment phases and goals,
based on best practices. The authors describe what to focus on
first in a complex therapy and how to do it; how to help patients
establish both internal and external safety without rescuing; how
to work systematically with dissociative parts of a patient in ways
that facilitate integration rather than further dissociation; how
to set and maintain helpful boundaries; specific ways to stay
focused on process instead of content; how to deal compassionately
and effectively with disorganised attachment and dependency on the
therapist; how to help patients integrate traumatic memories; what
to do when the patient is enraged, chronically ashamed, avoidant or
unable to trust the therapist; and how to compassionately
understand and work with resistances as a co-creation of both
patient and therapist. Relational ways of being with the patient
are the backbone of treatment and are themselves essential
therapeutic interventions. As such, the book also focuses not only
on highly practical and theoretically sound interventions, not only
on what to do and say, but places strong emphasis on how to be with
patients, describing innovative, compassionately collaborative
approaches based on the latest research on attachment and
evolutionary psychology. Throughout the book, core
concepts-fundamental ideas that are highlighted in the text in bold
so they can be seen at a glance-are emphasised. These serve as
guiding principles in treatment as well as a summing-up of many of
the most important notions in each chapter. Each chapter concludes
with a section for further examination. These sections include
additional ideas and questions, exercises for practising skills and
suggestions for peer discussions based on topics in a particular
chapter, meant to inspire further curiosity, discovery and growth.
This training manual for patients who have a trauma-related
dissociative disorder includes short educational pieces, homework
sheets, and exercises that address ways in which dissociation
interferes with essential emotional and life skills, and support
inner communication and collaboration with dissociative parts of
the personality. Topics include understanding dissociation and
PTSD, using inner reflection, emotion regulation, coping with
dissociative problems related to triggers and traumatic memories,
resolving sleep problems related to dissociation, coping with
relational difficulties, and help with many other difficulties with
daily life. The manual can be used in individual therapy or
structured groups.
This book is the first definitive reference for the Clojure
language, providing both an introduction to functional programming
in general and a more specific introduction to Clojure's features.
This book demonstrates the use of the language through examples,
including features such assoftware transactional memory (STM)and
immutability, which may be new to programmers coming from other
languages. Overview of functional programming and description of
what sets Clojure apart from other languages Detailed explanation
of Clojure's special features Examples of real-world tasks that are
well-suited to Clojure's capabilities, starting with simple tasks

There are two audiences for this book: any technical person
desiring to know what Clojure is and why they might want to use it,
and any programmer desiring to learn and use the language. The
goals of these two audiences mesh nicely, given that Clojure has
several new, cutting-edge features that programmers are unlikely to
have encountered before. Table of Contents The Clojure Way The

Our 24/7 world of endless information and demands poses a serious
challenge to all who struggle with perfectionism. It's all too easy
to become trapped in an endless pursuit of achievement at the
expense of the life you had always dreamed of living. This book is
about a change in perspective - seeing perfectionism as the
problem, rather than the goals or standards themselves. Far from
being a little habit that keeps us striving, it is the thing that
stops us celebrating anything we might achieve. We are more wedded
to perfectionism than we realise. It is embedded in our culture and
bound up in popular self-esteem. Even the Bible's perfect words
have been used to drive perfectionism in the church. The authors
offer a fresh perspective on an age-old problem - a helpful blend
of accessible theology, psychology and activity to lead us to a
place of genuine freedom, gratitude and fulfilment.

'Here's a great resource which is well based in the Bible and
contemporary counselling practice and yet is practical, manageable,
and provides a step-by-step guide towards being set free from
guilt, as Christ intends. 'Derek Tidball, Former Principal of
London School of Theology * Have you been forgiven but you still
feel guilty? * Does something from your past nag away despite all
your best efforts to shrug it off? * Do mistakes loom large in your
thinking and do your conversations start with an apology? Many
people are paralysed with guilt. Guilt robs you of freedom, peace
and joy. It can make you feel unacceptable or isolated. Jesus'
forgiveness is the ultimate remedy for guilt, but even for those
who believe, guilty feelings can still present a lingering problem.
The Guilt Book combines biblical theology and modern psychology,
offering a fresh perspective and helping us differentiate between
our true guilt, for which forgiveness is needed, and false guilt,
for which a psychological approach will help. Together, we will
challenge entrenched cycles of guilt, with their associated
feelings of hopelessness and despair. Freedom from persistent guilt
is possible. Peace is worth fighting for.
