RESUMEN
Resumen Se destaca la importancia de conocer los orígenes del concepto de disociación en la perspectiva de Janet, dadas sus aplicaciones actuales en el estudio y tratamiento del trauma y el trastorno por estrés postraumático, entre otros temas similares. El objetivo principal de esta revisión es explicar, desde la perspectiva de Pierre Janet, el concepto de disociación en relación a ideas fijas; estrechamiento del campo de la conciencia y debilidad de la síntesis mental. Se resume, una breve biografía de Pierre Janet, mencionando el legado y aplicaciones actuales de su psicología y psicopatología. Se describen los síntomas neurológicos funcionales, denominados en su época como histeria, desde donde surge en parte el concepto de disociación, estos son parálisis, contracturas y anestesias, describiendo el diagnóstico del síntoma histérico a diferencia del síntoma orgánico. Podemos condensar lo referido en la siguiente definición "disociación, es la pérdida de síntesis y asociación de las funciones psicológicas, las que se alejan de la consciencia y son relegadas al subconsciente, situaciones que ocurren debido a un estado emotivo o en forma espontánea… esto permite alejar de la conciencia dicho estado, el que es representado en variados síntomas".
ABSTRACT
In the following article the author remark the importance of recognizing the ogirin of Pierre Janet's concept of dissociation. This, due to the relevance of these ideas for the study and treatment of trauma and post traumatic stress disorder, among other pathologies. The main objective of this text is explaining from Janet's perspective, the concept of dissociation and its relation with the following concepts "fixed ideas", "narrowed field of consciousness" and "weakness of mental synthesis". The article include a brief biography of Pierre Janet, making special emphasis in his legacy and contemporary clinical applications of his psychology and psychopathology. Furthermore, functional neurological symptoms are described. Those clinical manifestations were named in Janet's time as "hysteria", concept that could be traced historically as the starting point for the concept of dissociation. These functional symptoms are (among others) paralysis, muscular contractures and body parts anesthesia; conceptually differentiating functional symptoms from organic symptoms. An interesting form of summarising the concepts of this article is using Janet's words "Dissociation is the lost of synthesis and association of psychological functions, displacing them away from explicit consciousness and relegating these functions to the subconscious, situations that occurring due to an emotional state or in an spontaneous way … this process facilitates the separation of the emotional states from consciousness, making possible the representation of emotions in physical symptoms".
