Dissoanalysis as a Modern Psychotraumatology Theory: Denial Trauma and Mass Dissociation versus Dissociative Revolution and Psychocommunal Therapy

Abstract

The "theory of dissoanalysis", structured on an axis that has the closest interactional dynamic with each individual and social element of the "multiple consciousness system" and "multiple memory phenomenon" conjugated with traumatic experiences, has its scientific roots in modern psychotraumatology studies conducted by Öztürk, a trauma therapist and a psychohistorian. Dissoanalysis makes significant scientific contributions to the development of both effective psychotherapy methods and innovative psychotraumatology and psychohistory movements in the field of "trauma and dissociation". “Dissoanalysts” are defined as “trauma therapists” who have professional competence in psychotraumatology, psychotherapy and suicidology, undertake and conduct the treatment of trauma-related psychiatric diseases, especially dissociative disorders, and complete them with a high average of success. As a modern theory of psychotraumatology, the psychosocial mission of dissoanalysis is to ensure that a society of psychologically integrated individuals prevails in the intergenerational process. The main purpose of dissoanalysis is, on the other hand, to create a development-oriented, normal and functional society composed of compassionate, fair, peaceful, empathetic, innovative and prudent individuals. Unless individually and socially originated "trauma denials" and "denial traumas" are neutralized by the psychosocial dissoanalysis method, chronic wars, colonial policies, dissociogenic oppressive systems, violent negative child-rearing styles, dysfunctional families and dysfunctional generations will continue to prevail at maximal rates and in all nations of the world! Öztürk, who developed the theory of dissoanalysis, emphasizes that an era of "mass dissociation", which spreads from individual to society, has begun on behalf of today's oppressive systems and the directed people controlled and managed by dominant leaders. Every moment when intergenerational development submits or evolves to intergenerational fossilization is a milestone and starting point for wars and genocides. Individuals and societies that are controlled and managed by traumatizing can be freed from captivity, oppression and abuse through "dissociative revolutions" that they will initiate by reactivating the healthy parts of themselves. Dissociative revolutions are all actions taken by individuals and societies, which have been ruled by oppression and traumatization for many years, in order to cut their hypnotic bonds with their fascist leaders and to liberate them, with these actions a psychosocial consciousness alliance is achieved and a new development-oriented human and society profile is created. As long as the dissoanalysis of “traumatized individuals whose smiles have been stolen” and “communities with shattered memories” cannot be carried out, no nation or any psychogenic mass can get rid of its borderline components, which are encompassing and focused on chronic violence; let alone gaining a direction towards an integrative life organization and in this context, the “theory of dissoanalysis” is the “psychocommunal therapy” itself!...

Social trauma and disaster psychology: The impact of earthquakes on children’s mental health from the perspective of dissoanalysis theory and modern psychotraumatology

“…"Resilience", which consists of personal, relational or cultural components, should be one of the main elements to be worked on in the traumatized individual, unnecessary attempts to intervene should be avoided and the person should be supported to be in a solution-oriented position that aims to continue his/her current life by overcoming difficulties rather than being a helpless victim in the process. An ideal crisis intervention approach for traumatized individuals includes allowing the expression of emotions in the acute period, breaking the cycle of negative thoughts, and revealing appropriate expressions for the desired reactions under the guidance of the psychotherapist [5,17].…”

“…Social traumas can be neutralized through a "psychosocial therapy" called the "dissoanalysis method" in the axis of dissoanalytic psychohistory and modern psychotraumatology theories. Without the dissoanalysis of traumatized individuals and societies, no nation can escape from its violence-focused borderline components and achieve an integrative life organization [5][6][7].…”

“…The "theory of dissoanalysis" which is defined as the termination of individual and social traumas as soon as possible, construction of modern trauma-centered psychotherapy methods for psychiatric diseases related to childhood traumas, especially dissociative disorders and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and the neutralization the main dissociative components underlying the intergenerational transmission of trauma and intergenerational transfer of psychopathology with a holistic orientation, was developed by Ozturk based on a modern psychotraumatology principles [5,19]. According to the dissoanalytic school, denial is the most common way of coping with individual and social traumas.…”

“…Psychotraumatology adressess "traumatic stress" and "traumatic dissociation" resulting from natural disasters; physical, emotional and sexual abuse, forced migration, wars, and terrorism, through the integrated perspective of clinical psychology, psychiatry, and psychohistory [3,8,13,56]. From the perspective of modern psychotraumatology paradigms and the dissoanalytic school, crisis and disaster psychology studies focus on social traumas caused by natural disasters, especially in recent decades [5,19]. Crisis psychology is defined as clinical psychology-based theoretical and applied psychological studies that make it possible for people to be affected by these social and/or individual traumatic events at the lowest level in the first few weeks after social traumas at the maximum rate and minimally individual traumas [13,22].…”

Childhood trauma and dissociation in female patients with fibromyalgia

“…Many studies have explicitly indicated a correlation between dissociative experiences and childhood trauma and it can be stated, with certainty, that childhood trauma is one of the most basic etiological elements of somatoform dissociation and psychoform dissociation [13,15,[35][36][37]. During or after traumatic experiences, these trauma victims show somatization reactions in the body (such as fibromyalgia) or psychoform dissociation reactions that occur mentally [15,16].…”
