‎---- EDITION ORIGINALE ---- TRES BEL EXEMPLAIRE ---- GARRISON N° 4976.1 ---- "JANET'S FIRST MAJOR WORK " ---- Heirs of Hippocrates N° 2228 : "Janet was one of Charcot's many students who later achieved prominence in the burgeoning field of psychiatry. After receiving his doctorate in psychology from the University of Paris, he was appointed director of pathological psychology at the Salpêtrière at the request of Charcot. He later taught at the Sorbonne and the Collège de France. L'automatisme psychologique was Janet's first major work, and it was here that he introduced the concept of automatism. Janet was largely responsible for the movement to reconcile the concepts of clinical and academic psychology in an attempt to find a single, unified system" ---- Norman N° 1154 : "Janet defined psychological automatisms as seemingly intelligent actions which nonetheless bypass the will and escape conscious awareness. Janet argued that hysterical symptoms are due to subconscious fixed ideas that have been isolated and usually forgotten. Split off from consciousness - dissociated - they embody painful experiences, but become autonomous by virtue of their segregation from the main stream of consciousness. This predated Breur and Freud's announcement of their virtually identical discovery by four years. Although, Janet may have been the first to express this idea, it would take the work of Freud to eventually convince the scientific world of its efficacy" ---- Garrison N° 4976.1 - Postel & Quetel p. 650 - Hunter & Macalpine pp. 70, 174 - Zilboorg pp. 375/377 - Ellenberger - Grégory "Le cerveau, un inconnu"**6221/F1‎
