The utilization of EMDR and ego state therapy with two severely depressed, dissociative clients
Description
Personality is a multiplicity, encompassing many different states of mind. Ego state is a useful term describing a state of mind in which certain thoughts, feelings, and behaviors tend to operate together. The well-functioning adult will shift ego states are needed to adapt to the roles required by the environment. In an individual raised with healthy attachments and normal development, the shift between ego states does not create discontinuity or confusion of experience. The boundaries of the core self, or core ego expand to include the differentiated ego states, and the boundaries of the differentiated ego states are permeable (Watkins & Watkins, 1997). This allows the individual to maintain a healthy integration of ego states and a continuity of identity.
