| Popis: | Many contemporary commentators on therapy have discussed the increased incidence of multiple personality disorder and dissociative identity disorder over the past 2 decades. Others have speculated on the relationship between this observed phenomenon in psychotherapy and changes taking place in contemporary society. This article develops the assumption that these changes are real and reflect important shifts in the experience of self in contemporary society. Ambiguity and the absence of a moral center seems more and more a normal expression of conditions that are increasingly a part of contemporary life. The article considers the requirements of constructing a new therapeutic language capable of dealing with them. The article presents a “taxonomy of multiplicity” as a way of conceptualizing various experiential dimensions of dissociation and multiplicity. |
