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.
