Critics Review
At the heart of Elizabeth Howell’s courageous thesis is the question: can contemporary psychoanalysis adapt to trauma and dissociation informed psychotherapy? She pulls no punches in offering scholarly yet confronting responses to offer a belated resolution to the 100-year trauma debate raging between Freudian ‘repression’ and Janetian ‘dissociation.’ Therapists and patients alike will greatly benefit from Dr. Howell’s parsimonious definition of trauma as ‘that which causes dissociation.’ This radical reconceptualization has powerfully reshaped the future direction of trauma therapy as her clinically based discussions amply illustrate.–Dr. George Halasz, Adjunct Senior Lecturer, Monash University, Melbourne, Australia, and child and adolescent psychiatrist
