How can you explain splitting and dissociation?
Word dissociation is used primary in chemistry, while splitting is more "common" word, used in ordinary speaking about things, food, plants, etc.But the meaning is the same. Defence mechanisms were first analized by Freud,and later by his dauhter Anna Freud, who analized "ego-defence-systems", while her father didn´t use exactly the word defence mechanisms of self structure.There is a big difference.Vaillant ( his look on the matter used APA) explain dissociation as primitive defence system, after sexuall abuse. Many authors claimed that self structure is subjective self and depends also on gender and environment. So what defence against any kind of abuse, not only sexuall the personality use is based on subjective and unique SELF.And one important thought: There is a big difference between self defence systems and defence systems of ego.
