Abreaction Re-evaluated.
Originally published in Dissociation,1992, 6(2/3), 162-180. [Posted here with permission of the authors and Journal Editor.]
Onno van der Hart and Paul Brown review the use of 'abreaction' in treating traumatic memories from Breuer and Freud through World Wars I and II, Vietnam, and in contemporary times. After tracing the historical and theoretical roots of two contradictory models concerning the nature and treatment of traumatic memories (dissociation/integration and abreaction/repression), the authors critically re-evaluate abreaction, and conclude that Janet's model of dissociation provides a preferable basis for phase-oriented treatment of the more complex traumatic-stress disorders. 103 references.
