For over 40 years he wrote extensively concerning human mental development and the patient/therapist relationship, and presented an interpersonal/relational point of view that emphasizes self-organization, states of consciousness, dissociation, and multiple self-states.

Multiple self-states

Within the context of self-organization of systems theory, Bromberg highlighted the role of developmental trauma in shame-based dissociative processes and its impact on relatedness. He also developed the vernacular for the multiplicity of self-states to describe these processes.
