In the theory of dissociation inspired by Janet, psychic processes are reified. The client is conceptualized as a victim to whom things happen. The development of the higher mental functions and control systems that enable people - including survivors of childhood abuse to monitor their psychic functioning is ignored. Indeed, the Janetian trauma treatment is intended to break down the client's higher mental functions : by re - experiencing horror, automatic processes of dissociation are reinforced, the client's spontaneous compensatory system is destroyed. This can lead to the legitimizing of in humane practices and cause iatrogenic damage. A Vygotskian therapeutic approach, together with current constructivist theories, provide an alternative. The development of the higher mental functions and 'abnormal' psychological tools are crucial for by passing the original traumatic reactions and the development of human agency.
