The answer is, I think, a resounding ‘yes’. But it’s early

days. Let me try some thoughts on you and see what

your judgement is.

completely new and integrated way of understanding behaviour

possibility for you today.

ENDNOTE: THE NATURE OF THE SELF.

Certain cognitive faculties – memory, self-recognition, consciousness, sensation, intention and action (all of which are mutually interdependent) – are bundled together within our psychological system to create in each of us a singular and continuous certainty of identity in a single stream of experience. From earliest infancy, as these faculties gradually develop and start operating reliably, they form and underpin the Self. The Self is then the unique individual or person as experienced by that individual who is defined by the Self.

In organisations it is this uniqueness that defines the individual’s effectiveness and establishes their own sense of their worth (personal and economic) as well as their psychological significance to themselves and their peer group. Economic worth and psychological significance are often linked closely together, organisationally, through reward structures being linked to executive image and identity, In military organisations much deeper bonds of attachment are critical to the management of escape/avoidance behaviours than is the case within commercial organisations. The effective functioning of any military unit relies enormously upon the shared sense of Self attached to the unit in question.

Any event which de-stabilises any one of the cognitive functions listed above has the power to cause the experience of dissociation. At its simplest this is expressed in the reaction: “I don’t believe it!” At its more severe, any event which fundamentally causes severe disruption to one of the above faculties throws the whole system into doubt. This is the point at which the Self begins to suffer. One of the most familiar manifestations of the Self being put into doubt is a loss of confidence, which can of course be self-fulfilling. Loss of Self-esteem is a more serious state.

The Self is the central integrator within the neurobiological parallel systems of the brain. It can be damaged to varying degrees of severity by chemical means (alcohol, recreational drugs), deteriorating disorders (Alzheimer’s, for instance), traumatic injury (head injury after an accident), or the sudden re-alignment of assumptions based on deeply-held expectations and beliefs (trust, dependence, attachment and belonging, for instance). Realignment of the central integrator functions of the Self is the main aim of all psychological interventions, whether from the intention of doing good or doing ill. If doing ill, the disruption is like a virus getting into the operating systems of a computer. The computer may switch on but the systems can no longer be relied upon by the main user of the system – the Self that has been damaged. If with the intention of doing good, then a re-alignment is designed to mobilise the Self and shift its axes of operation by establishing different expectations and beliefs.
