In The Integration Theory of Psychoanalysis, Pat 1: Emotion Control
Theory is contained, and as the next item, Pat 2: Formation Theory of
Psychological Phenomenon is contained. As had already introduced,
in the Emotion Control Theory, it is pursued and elucidated that emotion
control gives rise to the normality or the abnormality of mind. In the
Formation Theory of Psychological phenomenon, 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. That is, when the displeasure-regulation system is activated,
normal cognition is generated, and when the displeasure-defense system
is activated, abnormal cognition (for example; hallucination seen in
psychosis) 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; delusion seen in psychosis)
is generated.
Another is the interrelation between consciousness and self-
consciousness. Consciousness is “the fusion of the subject and the object”
or “bringing not to be”, and self-consciousness is “the separation of the
subject and the object” or “bringing to be”. Each of them has a different
origin. Consciousness originates in the activation of the frontal lobe
(stimulated by the activation system in the brain stem reticular formation),
and self-consciousness originates in the activation of the parietal lobe or
the temporal lobe (stimulated by the emotional brain or the 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 one in which it is impossible for man to do so only
for himself. The former is called “the preconscious”, and the latter is
called “the unconscious”. This relation, the preconscious－consciousness
－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.
