This is often understood as a question of whether DBS poses a threat to personal identity, which is typically understood as having to do with psychological and\/or narrative continuity over time. In this article, we argue that the discussion of whether DBS is a threat to continuity over time is too narrow. There are other questions concerning DBS and the self that are overlooked in discussions exclusively focusing on psychological and\/or narrative continuity. For example, it is also important to investigate whether DBS might sometimes have a positive (e.g., a rehabilitating) effect on the patient\u2019s self. To widen the discussion of DBS, so as to make it encompass a broader range of considerations that bear on DBS\u2019s impact on the self, we identify six features of the commonly used concept of a person\u2019s \u201ctrue self.\u201d We apply these six features to the relation between DBS and the self. And we end with a brief discussion of the role DBS might play in treating otherwise treatment-refractory anorexia nervosa. This further highlights the importance of discussing both continuity over time and the notion of the true self.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0963180116000372","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,9,16]],"date-time":"2016-09-16T08:56:20Z","timestamp":1474016180000},"page":"647-658","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":41,"title":["Deep Brain Stimulation, Continuity over Time, and the True Self"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"25","author":[{"given":"SVEN","family":"NYHOLM","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"ELIZABETH","family":"O\u2019NEILL","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,9,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"S0963180116000372_fn3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s12152-011-9115-7"},{"key":"S0963180116000372_fn30","volume-title":"Reasons and Persons","author":"Cf.
