Non material theory of the psyche

Oral · In-Person · Day 1

Abstract

About this talk

For 2000 years, scientists searched for material foundations of the psyche, which proves to be non-material, thus this paradigm should be changed.  

It has been proved that: 1) for 2000 years, most scientists mistook the concepts: while speaking about research and therapy of the psyche, they studied and treated the brain; 2) the brain and the psyche are two different systems; 3) the brain and the nervous system are material substrates regulating inner organs and adaptive functions of the organism; 4) the psyche is a non-material informational structure developing via language programming of the brain in a social informational environment and regulating cognitive, emotional and behavioral aspects of social adaptation of personality in accordance with the demands of society, in which one’s psyche was formed; 5) neuroses and other mental disorders (about 50% of psychopathology) resulting from psychic traumata (information) that damage the psyche (informational system) are not related to the brain pathology and thus require a different paradigm of therapy. Using psychopharmacology is similar to treating a computer virus (information) that damaged the computer software by trying to fix its hardware; 6) studying the psyche as a non-material structure requires significant change in paradigms of all human sciences.
