Handbook of Dissociation: Theoretical, Empirical, and Clinical Perspectives

Description

Within the last decade there was a tremendous explosion in the clinical, theoretical, and empirical literature related to the study of dissociation. Not for the reason that work done at the tum of the century by Pierre Janet, Morton Prince, William James, and others have the psychological and medical communities shown this great an interest in describing and understanding dissociative phenomena. This volume is the results of this significant expansion. At this time, interest in the scientific and clinical progress in the field of dissociation is indicated by the following: 1. The explosion of conferences, workshops, and seminars devoted to disso­ ciative disorders remedy and research. 2. The emergence of NIMH-supported investigations that concentrate on dissociation. 3. The burgeoning literature on dissociation. In line with a 1992 biblio­ graphic analysis of the field by Goettman et al. (1992), 72% of all writings at the topic have gave the impression prior to now decade, with about 1000 published papers scattered across diverse disciplines and journals. 4. Current interest in dissociation as reflected in the appearance of major articles and special issues in respected psychology and psychiatry journals. 5. The initiation of a journal entitled Dissociation (Richard Kluft, MD, Editor) devoted to the area.
