In the 100 years since Eugen Bleuler unveiled his concept of
schizophrenia, which had dissociation at its core, the essential
connection between traumatic life events, dissociative processes and
psychotic symptoms has been lost. Psychosis, Trauma and Dissociation
is the first book to attempt to reforge this connection, by presenting
challenging new findings linking these now disparate fields, and by
comprehensively surveying, from a wide range of perspectives, the
complex relationship between dissociation and psychosis. A
cutting-edge sourcebook, Psychosis, Trauma and Dissociation brings
together highly-respected professionals working in the psychosis field
with renowned clinicians and researchers from the fields of traumatic
stress, dissociation and the dissociative disorders, and will be of
interest to those working with or studying psychotic or dissociative
disorders, as well as trauma-related conditions such as borderline
personality disorder or complex post-traumatic stress disorder. It
makes an invaluable contribution to the burgeoning literature on
severe mental disorders and serious life events. The book has three
sections: Connecting trauma and dissociation to psychosis - an
exploration of the links between trauma, dissociation and psychosis
from a wide range of historical and theoretical perspectives.
Comparing psychotic and dissociative disorders - a presentation of
empirical and clinical perspectives on similarities and differences
between the two sets of disorders. Assessing and treating hybrid and
boundary conditions - consideration of existing and novel diagnostic
categories, such as borderline personality disorder and dissociative
psychosis, that blend or border dissociative and psychotic disorders,
along with treatment perspectives emphasising humanistic and
existential concerns.
