K (189?–?) Soviet pioneer. From Kazan, Tartarstan, USSR, K was diagnosed as a ‘transvestite’ in 1937.

    Best collection of resources I know:

    Here are some criticisms of structural dissociation:

    https://web.archive.org/web/20210507154502/https://polyfrazzlemented.dreamwidth.org/40446.html

    As a Marxist-Leninist I see it as a complete failure that increasingly ignores contrary evidence. Examples:

    1. Assuming someone w/ disordered plurality without early childhood trauma must have childhood trauma and just forgot it b/c otherwise they would have developed it "too late" according to the model

    2. Headmates can be created by people with no history of trauma or dissociation, and tulpamancy skills can be applied to disordered plurals implying commonality between disordered and nondisordered plurality

    So I'm interested in diamat approaches to consciousness and will eventually read more Vygotsky. Although I've heard some English translations are very bad.

      Thank you for sharing! I read a bunch about it and found it very interesting, as someone who's currently I guess seeing an IFS counsellor, which has been my "medical" introduction to it (although therapist doesn't seem to believe in complete integration, just mentions reparenting, compromising, inner dialogue, etc. all of which sound kinda healthy to me. She also believes that everyone is a system as well, which I found interesting, wonder what your thoughts are on that?).

      The structural dissociation critique is interesting, yikes that ending.

      (love that pic btw)

        I don't really have an opinion and I don't know much about IFS parts but I thought they don't really behave as independent agents? Although headmates being parts of a system who work together is a very popular framework so I suppose from that POV it makes sense to compare the two. To each their own, but that framework isn't personally relevant.

        love that pic btw

          Thank you for saying this, I appreciate you clarifying.
