Janet meets Freud. The Perspective of a plural-Ego Psychology. In the last decades, a renewal of interest has occurred in Psycho-traumatology. The main authors dealing with this field found in Janet their own «noble father»; yet, in doing so, they marginalized Freud's legacy. This was a sort of retaliation for an ostracism by psychoanalysts of Janet's legacy. I retrace the Freud-Janet quarrel, in order to argue that their legacies are not incompatible. Conversely, a meeting between Freud and Janet could generate new theoretical and clinical insights.
KEYWORDS: Consciousness, dissociation, plural-Ego, pre-verbal, psycho-traumatology.
