I wonder if the entire A family isn't guilty of compartmentalized thinking. They separate each action in isolation from the whole.
They demonstrate this with their actions:
1. I only washed the pants because they smelled like the car.
2. There's nothing important in KC's medical records.
3. It's my JC Penny bill and there's nothing important on it.
4. The car needed to be aired out and cleaned.
5. We're just telling you what KC told us was true.
6. We only picked up KC's belongings from AL's house and sorted through them (and besides, that money in her wallet was probably what she took from me).
And they demonstrate it in their denial of KC's guilt:
1. Telling lies doesn't make you a murderer.
2. There might have been a body in the trunk but it wasn't our granddaughter.
3. KC just needed bonding time with Caylee.
4. Those party pictures were taken a long time ago.
6. ZG was probably just a name for anyone who was babysitting Caylee.
7. She can't tell us anything because it would put Caylee in danger.
They keep all these facts separate and isolated, one from another. This way all their deeds never add up and become tampering with evidence or covering up a crime or murder or even having to admit their granddaughter is gone.
Compartmentalized thinking; they refuse to (or can't?) put all the pieces together.
You make a very interesting point. Putting everything together and then everything comes apart!
