Unit 8 – Clinical Psychology
Topic 8.5
In what ways could a philosopher's insight on human existence contribute to understanding dissociation as a psychological response to severe stress or trauma?
Philosophers may contribute by suggesting that dissociation is an existential coping mechanism that allows individuals to distance themselves from unbearable realities.
Philosophers would argue against the concept of dissociation since it suggests multiple identities which contradicts with individualism philosophy.
Philosophy being abstract wouldn't provide concrete insights into a practical issue like stress-induced dissociation.
Philosophers would likely disregard dissociation as it doesn't directly relate to philosophical concepts like ethics or metaphysics.
