is a defense mechanism whereby one loses track of time or of one's person.

is a deficit phenomenon, an insufficiency of binding energy, caused by hereditary factors, life stresses or traumas, or an interaction among them, resulting in the splitting of fragments.

In Janet's theory, dissociation was a deficit phenomenon, an insufficiency of binding energy, caused by hereditary factors, life stresses or traumas, or an interaction among them modeled on Hughlings Jackson's hierarchy of mental functions. These processes resulted in the splitting of fragments. In Jackson's theory, dissociation had to do with a lack of integration between mental processes and especially an inaccessibility of mental contents or processes to phenomenological awareness.

is a rending of the mind by dynamic forces within itself.

For Freud, dissociation is a rending of the mind by dynamic forces within itself.

is an active defense phenomenon. When the integrity of the overall system is threatened, subsystems of ideas/wishes/memories/thoughts are forcibly repressed, dissociated, or split off.

According to Freud, dissociation was an active defense phenomenon. When the integrity of the overall system was threatened, subsystems of ideas/wishes/memories/thoughts would be forcibly repressed, dissociated, or split off. In Janet's theory, dissociation was a deficit phenomenon, an insufficiency of binding energy, caused by hereditary factors, life stresses or traumas, or an interaction among them modeled on Hughlings Jackson's hierarchy of mental functions.

is not pathogenic, but a human capacity to dissociate one's awareness from experiences... it is a fundamental capacity without which we would be swamped by impressions, sensations and experiences.

Echoing Sartre's distinction between a prereflective and a reflective consciousness, Ernesto Spinelli (1994: 154: 154 ff.) proposes a theory of 'dissociation' to account for the phenomena which the psychoanalytic concept of the unconscious tries to explain. Spinelli bases his ideas on Braude's (1991) philosophical explora tions of multiple personality and Hilgard's (1986) comparison between notions of dissociation and repression. Human beings, in this view, have the capacity to dissociate their awareness from experiences, not only when they cannot accept them but also when they become irrelevant to the present focus of their attention. It is not difficult to see that without this capacity we would be swamped by impressions, sensations and experiences. Unlike repression, dissociation can by no means be seen as pathogenic as such.

is not the mark of a failing, but of a mind at work on other matters at that particular moment, more vital than consciousness.

For Freud, dissociation, therefore, was not the mark of a failing, but of a mind at work on other matters at that particular moment, more vital than consciousness.
