Neurotic splitting of the human personality can be viewed as a form of maldevelopment of the brain which is split organically and functionally in several ways, thus harboring in part unreasonable contradictions. The latter surface in contrasts such as: consciousness versus unconsciousness, body versus soul, word versus sentiment. Limits towards neurotic diseases are difficult to define. They challenge the therapist to gently abandon his conventional role and to find--sometimes paradoxical--language for his clients.
