Apparently there’s a relatively recent movement championing the dialogic self, viz., the idea that we are groups of voices with different perspectives and positions.
Also, apparently, John Rowan, author of the rather dry Subpersonalities, is coming out with a new book next month called Personification: Using the Dialogical Self in Therapy and Counseling. I’m sure it discusses in a structured way what I learned the hard and lonely way to do all by myself.
What I want to know is where all this theory and information was when I was convinced I was going insane??

Maybe it will be “trendy” now, look out.
I remember feeling there was (and sometimes is) a male me and a female me.
I’ll try to see how it fits into that.
wow, and here I thought I was just a high functioning crazy person. 😀 All the other me’s are congratulating us on being ahead of the curve. 😀
we are all multiple!
The book ‘Personification’ is out now, and a big advance from the old ‘Subpersonalities’. Have a look!
