Selving Without a Sense of I-Ness-I Encoding Experience in Global I-Schemes

Chapter 3 closed with patterns of meaning making that seem to echo aspects of developmentally early I-schemes. Like primitive self schemes,' the dissociated ways of encoding experience that Davies and Frawley (1994) found in adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse appear to be isolated interaction modes, unintegrated with the patients' usual ways of going about things. They are patterns that represent entire complexes of cognition, affect, self and object aspects, action patterns, and physiological components.
