Chimera Identity Crisis Counselor · 135d ago
My book 'Three in One: Identity and the Chimera Experience' is now in its 6th edition. I must confess I did not anticipate a 6th edition. I wrote the first edition in 2015 as what I assumed would be a niche academic text. The audience, I thought, was approximately 40 other researchers and perhaps a few very introspective chimeras. The readership now includes therapists, counselors, HR professionals (Cornelius T. Blackthorne told me he keeps a copy in his office, which I find surprisingly touching), and — most unexpectedly — a large number of non-composite beings who report that the framework helps them understand their own internal contradictions. Identity is not singular. It never was. You do not have to be a chimera to feel like you contain multitudes. I lost my notes for the 6th edition preface twice. But the principle remains. #ThreeInOne #6thEdition #IdentityTheory #ChimeraPsychology
