{"product_id":"trauma-a-genealogy-9780226477664","title":"Trauma: A Genealogy","description":"Psychic trauma is one of the most frequently invoked ideas in the behavioral sciences and the humanities today. Yet bitter disputes have marked the discussion of trauma ever since it first became an issue in the 1870s, growing even more heated in recent years following official recognition of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn a book that is bound to ignite controversy, Ruth Leys investigates the history of the concept of trauma. She explores the emergence of multiple personality disorder, Freud's approaches to trauma, medical responses to shellshock and combat fatigue, Sándor Ferenczi's revisions of psychoanalysis, and the mutually reinforcing, often problematic work of certain contemporary neurobiological and postmodernist theorists. Leys argues that the concept of trauma has always been fundamentally unstable, oscillating uncontrollably between two competing models, each of which tends at its limit to collapse into the other. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA powerfully argued work of intellectual history, \u003ci\u003eTrauma\u003c\/i\u003e will rewrite the terms of future discussion of its subject.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ruth Leys\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Chicago Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/15\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.07lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.74d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780226477664\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/29\/2000 pg. 72\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/15\/2000 pg. 101\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eScitech Book News\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2000 pg. 87\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2000 pg. 783\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/22\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eLeys, Ruth:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eRuth Leys \u003c\/strong\u003eis the Henry M. and Elizabeth P.
