Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
“Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde” is a concept that originates from Robert Louis Stevenson’s famous novella, where it represents the duality of human nature. In psychological terms, it refers to the idea of having contrasting and conflicting personality traits or behaviors within a single individual. Similar to the character of Dr. Jekyll, who transforms into the sinister Mr. Hyde, individuals experiencing this psychological phenomenon may exhibit a stark contrast between their outward persona and an underlying, hidden self. This concept often points to the existence of an internal struggle between opposing aspects of personality. It can manifest as sudden shifts in behavior, mood swings, or a significant disparity between public and private personas. Psychologically, understanding and integrating these disparate aspects is important for achieving a cohesive and authentic sense of self.
