Book Review: Frank Putnam’s The Way We Are
ISSTD Member, Pam Stavropoulos PhD, has written a book review of Frank Putnam’s The Way We Are, which was featured in the Counselling and Psychotherapy Journal of Australia (PACJA) Vol.5(1) in August, 2017. This detailed book review introduces the concepts of a dissociative mind to a broader audience of counsellors and psychotherapists, and makes for great reading, of interest to those who have not read Putnam’s book, as well as those who already have.
Pam commences with this opening paragraph:
In an age of hyperbole and incessant demands on our attention, recommendation of a ‘must read’ book can seem an imposition as well as a cliché. Yet I do not hesitate to make that endorsement in this case. Frank Putnam’s The Way We Are is his magnum opus after years of service to the field of psychotherapy in general and study of the dissociative disorders in particular. It is a ground-breaking work that proposes what amounts to nothing less than a paradigm shift in the way we conceptualise and respond to the workings of the mind per se.

Here is a excerpt from the review of The Interwoven Lives of Sigmund, Anna and W. Ernest Freud: Three Generations of Psychoanalysis by Daniel Benveniste, Reviewed by Anne J. Adelman in The Journal of the American Psychoanalytic Association’s current issue: Vol 65, Issue 2, 2017.
“This book evokes a remarkable feeling of nostalgia for a time and place we can imagine but not fully re-create. It is peopled with characters we recognize as flawed but admire nonetheless, especially as Benveniste deepens our understanding of the enormous strains they withstood…. With [Benveniste’s] enormous breadth of knowledge, thorough scholarship, crystal-clear and engaging writing, and benevolent attitude toward his subject, he encircles the reader in the warm embrace of his thoughtful and dynamically rich perspective on a life viewed through the prismatic lens of personal, familial, social, psychological, and political history.”
