Example text
Prototypes, and radial classes, whether for birds or for mental disorders, are not mere supplements to definitions. They are essential to comprehension. One can make a very strong argument, in the philosophy of language, that what people understand by a word is not a definition, but a prototype and the class of examples structurally arranged around the prototype. In chapter 7, I examine the idea that dissociation is distributed among people along a linear continuum. That is, there is one thing, dissociation, and everyone is slightly dissociative, some are more so, and multiples are the most dissociative of all.
There were two alters of the opposite sex. Some alters knew about others. They argued, fought, tried to help or destroy each other. This idea of dynamic relationships between different personalities had been glimpsed before, but it was the reports of Sybil that made them prominent. Above all, the etiology of her disorder was writ large. She really had been abused as a child. “Sybil,” the main presenting personality, had no memory of those sorry events. But her alters did remember.
Perhaps this is the most common symptom, but unfortunately it goes with a great many illnesses. When we start looking for something more specific, one early warning sign is missing time—the patient has no idea what she was doing for a couple of hours yesterday afternoon. Janice recalls leaving the café where she had a pleasant midday snack with her friend, and strolling back to her job as receptionist for a dentist. But she got a dressing-down when she arrived, because she did not walk in until just after 3:30.
