The Psychology of Pierre Janet (Routledge Revivals)

Pierre Janet (1859 1947) is considered to be one of the founders of psychology, and pioneered research in the disciplines of psychology, philosophy and psychotherapy. Janets most crucial research, particularly in the subjects of dissociation and subconscious - terms coined by him - is explored in this book, first published in 1952. As Janet did not publish much in English, these notes provide guidance on such areas of study as hysteria and hypnosis, obsessive thinking and the psychology of adaption. Elton Mayos comprehensive collection is an important guide for any student with an interest in the history of psychology, psychopathology and social study, and Janets revolutionary work in the field.
