Articles are the central focus of Ex Uno Plures. Over the past seventeen years, members of Promethean House have written various articles about plurality (including multiplicity and clinical Dissociative Identity Disorder), from philosophical explorations of identity to practical advice about dealing with non-plural friends, family and acquaintances. We hope that the articles are helpful for plural systems and allies alike. (We alternate the terms ‘plurality’ and ‘multiplicity’, though we prefer ‘plural’ for its umbrella nature.)
We’ve organised our articles into six sections:
Introductory Material—basic information about multiplicity and our system.
Living Plural—practical advice for systems’ daily life.
Medicalisation and Stereotyping—articles that address the medical model of multiplicity, as well as stereotypes often ascribed to systems.
Internal Communication and Relationships—articles about how system members relate to one another.
Intersectional Plurality and Mental Health—writing about the ways race, culture, gender, sexuality and other phenomena interact with plurality and other mental health conditions.
Plural 102: Philosophical Explorations of Plurality—philosophical and sociological essays about plurality.
