Abstract
- This article is a response to Amanda Kottler's paper on the concept of multiple self-states and the role of writing in understanding clinical moments. The author, Joye Weisel-Barth, discusses the symbolic presence of Isobel in Kottler's paper and how it represents a hidden self-state that brings about transformative experiences. Weisel-Barth also explores the use of fiction as a tool for self-discovery and emphasizes the importance of aesthetic engagement in uncovering hidden aspects of oneself. The article highlights the power of writing and imagination in gaining a deeper understanding of the self, and encourages readers to consider the broader implications of psychoanalysis in understanding the self and its connection to the surrounding environment.
