Abstract
Explanations of Robert Hanssen's treason, the most damaging espionage in U.S. history, usually rely on psychological dissociation or compartmentalization. Rejecting those accounts because they absolve Hanssen of moral and legal responsibility, the author argues that his contradictory personae were instruments designed to conceal his crimes from himself and others.
