For most routine negotiations, a reactive approach is sufficient. What we hear most often is “It depends on what the other side does.”įair enough. But beyond that, they feel limited in how well they can prepare. Most reply that they’ll do some planning before engaging with their counterparts-for instance, by identifying each side’s best alternative to a negotiated agreement (BATNA) or by researching the other party’s key interests. New York: Routledge.When we advise our clients on negotiations, we often ask them how they intend to formulate a negotiation strategy.

When out, a given host or alter may appear globally to be mentally and behaviorally whole and normal or an exaggerated caricature or a single-function agent, and so on, but not necessarily congruent with the age and gender of the body" (Dell & O'Neil, 2009). Subhuman, animal, or imaginary alters are not uncommon, with likely links to children’s fantasy. "The alters may be few or many, of various ages, including older than the body, same- or cross-gendered, hetero- or homosexual, alive or dead, with either or both coconsciousness and copresence to varying degrees, which may not be commutative (i.e., may be one-way), communicating not at all, or through hallucinations, or through direct thought transfer, manifesting different physiological signs in the body when out, clustered in various arrays of dyads, subgrouping, layers, purposes, and so on. To quote "Dissociative Multiplicity and Psychoanalysis" from "Dissociation and the Dissociative Disorders: DSM-V and Beyond:" They may have psychological disorders and physiological reactions that are unique to them or experience the body’s psychological and physiological disorders in different ways or to different degrees than do other alters in the same body. (Some alters may see what they expect to see when they look into mirrors and are highly distressed to realize that the body that they are in does not match their internal perception of how they should look.) Often, alters have their own wants, needs, desires, and opinions.
They may perceive themselves as having an age, gender, sexuality, appearance, source, or even species that may or may not match that of the system's actual body, and they may or may not be aware of these discrepancies. They have different thoughts, perceptions, and memories relating to themselves and to the world around them. Externally, alters can display different degrees of emotional expressiveness, behave in different ways, and have different skills and abilities related to sensory-motor functioning. Alters each have their own perception of self as a unique individual or entity and do not view themselves as only an aspect of a complete person. In cases of DID, most if not all alters can take recurrent executive control of the body in which they reside. An alter is a dissociated self state that may be associated with either dissociative identity disorder (DID) or other specified dissociative disorder subtype 1 (OSDD-1).
