| Description: |
Here, Spanos rejects the traditional view of MPD (multiple personality disorder), arguing that it is a sociohistorical product. To reinforce his case, he marshalls evidence that supports a sociocognitive alternative to the disease model. The book examines commonly held views about hypnotic amnesia. |
| Synopsis: |
Spanos rejects the traditional view by arguing that MPD is in large part a sociohistorical product. To reinforce his case, he marshalls an extensive body of research that supports a sociocognitive alternative to the disease model. The book critically examines commonly held views about hypnotic amnesia as an "altered state", which some investigators link with the amnesia purportedly experienced by MPD patients. It investigates the nature of memory and the complex issues surrounding the reported recovery during psychotherapy of memories of childhood abuse. It also explores the parallels between MPD and posits their relation to such historical and sociocultural phenomena as spirit possession, witchcraft, glossolalia and hysteria. And it evaluates the role of social learning and validation in the development of MPD. This book should be of interest to clinicians, researchers and all individuals intrigued by the psychology of altered states. |
