An invaluable sourcebook on the complex relationship between
psychosis, trauma, and dissociation, thoroughly revised and updated
This revised and updated second edition of Psychosis, Trauma and
Dissociation offers an important resource that takes a wide-ranging
and in-depth look at the multifaceted relationship between trauma,
dissociation and psychosis. The editors – leaders in their field –
have drawn together more than fifty noted experts from around the
world, to canvas the relevant literature from historical, conceptual,
empirical and clinical perspectives. The result documents the
impressive gains made over the past ten years in understanding
multiple aspects of the interface between trauma, dissociation and
psychosis. The historical/conceptual section clarifies the
meaning of the terms dissociation, trauma and psychosis, proposes
dissociation as central to the historical concepts of schizophrenia
and borderline personality disorder, and considers unique development
perspectives on delusions and the onset of schizophrenia. The
empirical section of the text compares and contrasts psychotic and
dissociative disorders from a wide range of perspectives, including
phenomenology, childhood trauma, and memory and cognitive
disturbances, whilst the clinical section focuses on the assessment,
differential diagnosis and treatment of these disorders, along with
proposals for new and novel hybrid disorders. This important resource:
• Offers extensive updated coverage of the field, from
all relevant perspectives • Brings together in one text
contributions from scholars and clinicians working in diverse
geographical and theoretical areas • Helps define and
bring cohesion to this new and important field •
Features nine new chapters on: conceptions of trauma, dissociation and
psychosis, PTSD with psychotic features, delusions and memory, trauma
treatment of psychotic symptoms, and differences between the
diagnostic groups on hypnotizability, memory disturbances, brain
imaging, auditory verbal hallucinations and psychological testing
Written for clinicians, researchers and academics in the areas of
trauma, child abuse, dissociation and psychosis, but relevant
for psychiatrists, psychologists and psychotherapists working in any
area, the revised second edition of Psychosis, Trauma and Dissociation
makes an invaluable contribution to this important evolving field.
