Pierre Janet and the Breakdown of Adaptation in Psychological Trauma.

Originally appeared in American Journal of Psyciatry, 146 (12), 1530-1540 (December 1989).

In this article, Drs. Bessel van der Kolk and Onno van der Hart revisit the work of Pierre Janet, focusing particularly on his views regarding dissociation as a process that can transform overwhelming traumatic experiences into psychopathology. Specific attention is given to the processing and encoding of memory, and Janet's therapeutic principles. 100 references. "
