‘Giuseppe Craparo’s Pierre Janet: A Contemporary Introduction offers a concise, contemporary overview of Janet’s work on dissociative states, unsymbolized affects, and the self. Tracing a thread from Janet through Ferenczi to Bromberg and key psycho-traumatologists, Craparo links mental disaggregation to today’s sensitivity to vulnerability, clarifying the difference undergoing an event and having an experience of it. The result is a work that harmonizes clinical insight with theory, a valuable resource for therapists and scholars alike.’Carlo Bonomi, PhD, President of the International Sándor Ferenczi Network‘Giuseppe Craparo’s Pierre Janet: A Contemporary Introduction is an academic work that weaves together historical clinical research with a focus on Janet’s unique contributions. The book effectively illuminates the context of his time while restoring not only the depth of his philosophical and clinical inquiries but also, importantly, the ethical care afforded to female patients, who were frequently left vulnerable during those years. It is rare for scholarship to be employed so sensitively to recover the significance of a thinker who has been overlooked for decades.’Caterina Vezzoli, Training analyst – C.G. Jung Institut - CIPA & IAAP - and President of the Philemon Foundation
