Drawing upon both philosophy of mind and current psychiatric and neurobiological evidence, this book proposes a dynamic understanding of persons that fundamentally challenges the conventional view of the self and consciousness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eDissociation and the Dynamics of Personality\u003c\/i\u003e will be of interest to readers concerned with the trauma-dissociation controversy, including philosophers of mind and psychiatrists.
