In The Integration Theory of Psychoanalysis, Pat 1: The Emotion
Control Theory is contained, and Pat 2: The Formation Theory of
Psychic Phenomena is contained. In The Emotion Control Theory,
it is pursued and elucidated that the emotional control gives rise to
the normality or the abnormality of mind. In The Formation Theory
of Psychic Phenomena, two themes are mainly mentioned.
One is the difference of cognition from recognition.
Cognition originates in the interrelation between the perception
system and the thinking system, and recognition originates in
various intuitions on “the awakening self (the marrow self)”.
When the emotion (affect) system joins in cognitive function,
the normality or the abnormality of cognition come to be generated.
In other words, when the displeasure-regulation system is activated,
normal cognition is generated, and when the displeasure-defense system
is activated, abnormal cognition (for example; hallucinations observed
in psychoses) is generated. When the emotion (affect) system joins
in recognition formation, the normality or the abnormality of
recognition come to be generated. When the displeasure-regulation
system is activated, normal recognition is generated, and when
the displeasure-defense system is activated, abnormal recognition
(for example; delusions observed in psychoses) is generated.
Another is the interrelation between consciousness and
self-consciousness. Consciousness is “the fusion of subject ＆
object” or “bringing not to be”, and self-consciousness is
“the separation of subject ＆ object” or “bringing to be”.
Each of them has a different origin. Consciousness originates in
the activation of frontal lobe (stimulated by the activation system
in brain stem reticular formation), and self-consciousness originates in
the activation of parietal lobe or temporal lobe (stimulated by
emotional brain or occipital lobe). The generation of consciousness
leads to the distinction between the area of mind in which
it is constantly possible for man to put matters into consciousness
and the area of mind in which it is impossible for man to do so
only for himself. The former is called “preconsciousness”, and
the latter is called “unconsciousness”. This relation, the preconscious－
the conscious－the unconscious, is thought over again as the relation
between consciousness and self-consciousness.
Self-consciousness can be generated without the generation of
consciousness, and it comes to be the origin of dream.
