Multiple Identity Literary Theory is Antithetical To and Totally Rejects Freud’s or Lacan’s Psychoanalysis and Psychoanalytic Literary Theory

Is the point of view presented in this blog found in any currently established literary theory? To find out, I bought Gregory Castle’s The Literary Theory Handbook (Wiley Blackwell, 2013), which is comprehensive and up-to-date.

I read the chapter on Psychoanalysis and could agree with nothing in it—from Freud to Lacan and others—nothing.

In the chapter on Trauma Studies, it is mentioned, in passing, that “trauma leads, as many psychologists attest, to dissociative personality disorders [i.e., multiple personality],” but no further mention of multiple personality follows.

I think that there is an automatic tendency to think that the views of a psychiatrist must be related to Freud, Lacan, etc. But my views do not agree with theirs, and, in essential ways, our views are antithetical (such as their belief in the unconscious, which I reject, in favor of the multiple, dissociated consciousness of multiple personalities).

It is a distinction with a real difference.
