( now admitely I can some what agree- I feel many times I have at least two me's that realize that they are me, but very difficult to get along with one another and are quiet of the opposites.. and, my parents were quiet opposite on morals and other things from one another.. along with just my upbringing at home, then going out to school to be some happy kid.).
I found the article again today I see no real actual psychology base on it, but I do remember reading one time that in psychology there is an actual term for this -- I am not sure if it is different persona or sub selves, though. I was reading some things also on False Persona.... (that though sounds a bit confusing to me right now).
(please note the reason why this is not in the DID form is due to I don't believe this is a DID topic; due to everyone has subselves with in as I understand it--- but if it needs to be moved, Guess see where fit for where the mods see this to go  ).
I was just wondering if any one had some good literature on the topic.
I did find this book:

I was thinking of it; but I know some on PC have some great suggestion with reading on some topics as well- so I thought I would ask.
Thanks. |
here where I live and work in New York which is in the USA, we dont call this subselves. here we say the child is very resilient and had learned how to adapt. just like a normal person would adapt to having to completely different jobs... a bartender and an author/artist. in one job the person must be able to handle working with the public, being sociable and know their liqours. where as in the other professions the person must be able to spend long hours alone, doing work that entails being alone, no social skills needed until they decide to sell their works.
we have many kids who are from divorced parents that learn to adapt their self with the two conflicting worlds...being with mommy and moms set of rules at moms house on moms time and then going to dads and have a completely different home, rules, expectations.
most of these children from divorced homes that we treat here at the crisis center havent any personality problems/disorders. they have adjustment issues, abandonment issues and conduct disorders...
so no I do not agree with the article.
