Splitting, horizontal and vertical[edit]

Heinz Kohut has emphasised in his Self psychology the distinction between horizontal and vertical forms of splitting.^[1] Traditional psychoanalysis saw repression as forming a horizontal barrier between different levels of the mind - so that for example an unpleasnt truth might be accepted superficially but denied in a deeper part of the psyche.^[2] Kohut contrasted with this vertical fractures of the mind into two parts with incompatible attitudes separated by mutual disavowal.^[3]
