I am not my self: Reconceiving identity in rehabilitation care.

Lily Gryspeerdt

PMID 41615850

WHAT IT FOUND

This paper offers a philosophical argument rather than clinical evidence.

It suggests therapists view identity as a dynamic social interaction rather than a fixed internal 'self', but reports no patient outcomes or trial data.

What this paper is

This is a philosophical essay proposing a Wittgensteinian view of identity in rehabilitation, arguing against the concept of a separable 'self'. It contains no original empirical data, clinical trials, or patient outcomes, so there are no findings to act on.

Declared interests

The author declared no potential conflicts of interest and received no financial support.

The easy way to misread this

Do not treat the author's philosophical argument for re-conceptualising identity as an evidence-based clinical intervention or a validated therapeutic framework.
