I shall have to read that Watkins book--I've been collecting stuff on that theme, as you might imagine. <BR/><BR/>in an earlier comment you mentioned all this music you like to listen to--I'm sorry I never got back to you on that; there's so much there I like, too (maybe I'll just email you)...and music on your list that I just can't stand (which is not a criticism, of course! it's a sign of individuality, or at least of different voices in our heads...Scriabin makes me feel like I need a hot shower...cannot explain this...)<BR/>KKalibhaktahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02641392721750919471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13556432.post-1142140994261792942006-03-12T00:23:00.000-05:002006-03-12T00:23:00.000-05:00"Some investigators argue that each person harbors..."Some investigators argue that each person harbors many selves capable of emerging in different situations and contexts." (<I>Science News</I>) -- This made me harken back to Mary Watkins' book <I>Invisible Guests: The Development of Imaginal Dialogues</I> (Analytic Press, 1986). Not only does she cover writers' characters as often autonomous "imaginal others" (I quote from that section <A HREF="http://hurricanecountry.blogspot.com/2005/12/collaborations_113458706292154444.html" REL="nofollow">here</A>), but she also addresses the contexts of shamanism, various therapies, and conditions such as multiple personality disorder.<BR/><BR/>She writes, "The same kinds of imaginal dialogues in children's play that Piaget takes as evidence for the child's egocentrism can be seen -- and were indeed seen by the Romantics -- as the initial steps in freeing oneself from a self-centered world."<BR/><BR/>I agree with L.e_journeyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13381530423919462133noreply@blogger.com
