The Dissociative Mind

The Dissociative Mind takes the reader from neurophysiology to attachment theory to the clinical remediation of trauma states to the reality of evil. It provides a masterful overview of a literature that reaches back to Janet and Freud and extends forward to the writings of Philip Bromberg, Donnel Stern, Anthony Ryle, and others. No less impressive is the author's sustained effort to understand dissociative processes in terms of attachment concepts and relational theory, which takes theorizing about dissociation to a newly integrative level. The capstone of contemporary understandings of dissociation in relation to development and psychopathology, The Dissociative Mind will be an adventure and an education for its many clinical readers.
