Abstract

The relationships between scientific studies in identity disorders and the representation of these emotional disorders in Chicano literature offer a unique insight into the interactions of literature and social science. It offers a U.S. Third-World view and enhances scholarly studies on the relations of literature and science, which have produced a substantial number of works (Schatzberg, Waite & Johnson). Although this area of investigation has had a distinct identity for over a century there is a virtual absence ofstudies in literary-scientific relations and U.S. Third-World literature.
