After summarizing Kathleen Wallace’s cumulative network model of the self, this paper explores Wallace’s account of the whole self’s capacity for self‐reflection in some detail. Supposing that constituents of the self are capable of interpreting and communicating with one another, how is it possible for the whole self to interpret and communicate with itself and to act on the basis of its self‐understandings? The paper suggests that Wallace needs an account of the self’s ability to synthesize the information that interpretative communication furnishes and manage it to reach all‐things‐considered judgments and decide what to do. The paper sketches such an account and concludes by considering some implications for selfhood of different types of traumatic experience.

反思性沟通与整个自我

在总结了凯瑟琳·华莱士的自我累积网络模型之后，本文详细探讨了华莱士对整个自我的自我反思能力的解释。假设自我的构成要素能够相互解释和交流，那么整个自我如何解释和自我交流并根据自身的理解采取行动？该论文表明，华莱士需要考虑自我的能力，以综合解释性交流所提供的信息并对其进行管理，以做出万事俱备的判断力并决定该怎么做。本文概述了这种说法，并通过考虑对不同类型的创伤经历的自私产生了一些影响而得出结论。
