This study proposes a subself model to explain phenomena like multiple personality, spirit possession, and schizophrenic hallucinations. It offers avenues for empirical research into these complex psychological states.

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Cognitive Science
  • Neuroscience

Background:

  • The human mind exhibits complex phenomena not fully explained by current models.
  • Conditions such as multiple personality disorder, spirit possession, and auditory hallucinations present significant theoretical challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce and elaborate on a subself model of the mind.
  • To demonstrate the model's utility in explaining diverse psychological phenomena.
  • To propose empirical research directions for validating the subself model.

Main Methods:

  • Conceptual framework development based on the subself model.
  • Application of the model to explain phenomena including multiple personality, spirit possession, mediumship, reincarnation, and schizophrenic auditory hallucinations.

  • Formulation of hypotheses and research designs for empirical investigation.

    • Main Results:

    • The subself model provides a unified framework for understanding seemingly disparate psychological states.
    • It offers potential explanations for dissociative identity disorder, altered states of consciousness, and psychotic experiences.
    • The model suggests that these phenomena may arise from interactions between distinct subselves within the mind.

    Conclusions:

    • The subself model offers a novel theoretical perspective on the organization and functioning of the mind.
    • It has the potential to integrate research across various domains of psychology and psychiatry.
    • Further empirical research is crucial to test the validity and explanatory power of the subself model.
