ABSTRACT

For about three years in the early 1970s I was exploring, in a rather on-and-off manner, my own subpersonalities. It started off from two or three experiences in Gestalt therapy, and some research work I was doing on roles, reference groups, situations, and social frames. And my first step was to write down, over a period of two or three months, all the separate aspects of myself I could discover. For example, No. 1 was ‘Enthusiastic project-doer; intense absorption for short period. Very sensitive in this phase, but very selectively.’
