Talk:Pierre Janet

William James
The word "Janet" appears only once in Varieties, in this sentence:

So I think it is misleading to say, "James incorporated aspects of Janet's theories into his 1902 book, The Varieties of Religious Experience". First of all there is only one theory. Secondly, by grouping him with five others, including Freud, I don't think "incorporated aspects of Janet's theories" is warranted. You could probably come up with something more accurate, but it isn't worth it IMHO for such a minor mention by James in Varieties, especially given that the rest of the paragraph already details James' debt to Janet more thoroughly. djlewis (talk) 23:16, 19 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Maybe James did incorporate Janet's theories more substantively into Varieties, just not specifically attributed. But that would require a scholarly citation.djlewis (talk) 23:54, 19 March 2015 (UTC)
