Dissociation : Vol. 4, No. 1, p. 055-061 : The dissociated executive self and the cultural dissociation barrier

Ross, Colin A.2005-10-202005-10-201991-03https://hdl.handle.net/1794/1760p. 055-061Multiplicity is an organizational principle of the normal human mind and also of non-human systems. The psychology of modern industrial man is characterized by a suppression of normal multiplicity, with the creation of a dissociated executive self insulated from other part selves in the mind by a cultural dissociation barrier. Twenty-two properties of the dissociated executive self are discussed, and testable predictions of this theory of pathological multiplicity are described.313149 bytesapplication/pdfen-USDissociation : Vol. 4, No. 1, p. 055-061 : The dissociated executive self and the cultural dissociation barrierThe dissociated executive self and the cultural dissociation barrierArticle
