Abstract

A great deal of concepts are mistakenly classified as doubleness. There are two types of doubles, me-doubles and you-doubles. The first ones are subordinated, the second ones are equal. Me-double is a personification of an autonomous part of an ego which can (but does not have to) be concretised in a new character. They are an artistic superstructure either of a schizophrenic situation or of expressed fears, desires and fantasies. You-doubles are two physically identical characters who exchange their roles or are in some rivalry relationship. You-doubles can be twins, clones, or understudies. There are various subtypes of doubles, from diabolical to dreamed ones. At least, a double has an integrative mental function.
