Psychological theories
In this article, we will introduce some of the major psychological theories that have shaped our understanding of human behaviour,
Organismic Self
The Inner-Supporter to Inner-Critic Transition
Within parts working, there is the concept of the inner-critic. This is the source of internal self-criticism, and often seen as a source of depression and a pessimistic outlook. In this article, we suggest that this inner critic, was once an inner-supporter, that became rejected and dissociated into take on that oppositional role.
Organisational Imbalance
Self Affirmation Theory: A Key to Organisationally Enforced Incongruence
In this article, we introduce the concept of Organisationally Enforced Incongruence, Dressing the wolf of destructive behaviour, as a false, positive narrative.
Awareness Integration Theory
Self-Awareness
Self-awareness is the conscious recognition and understanding of one’s own thoughts, emotions, behaviours, and their underlying patterns, often serving as the foundation for personal growth and therapeutic interventions like Awareness Integration Theory
Organismic Self
Metacognitive Integration: The key to Self-Actualisation?
Metacognitive Integration is a dynamic process of exploration, identification, connection AND reconnection of the organismic self with it’s systemwide functions. It is a process that allows the individual to actualise themselves. This optimises the integration of their organism, to allow them to better thrive in the local environment.

The Authenticity Paradox
Authenticity, I suggest, is a continuum, a spectrum of stages, that may never end, since the self is a largely unknown thing, and that exploration of self, if done with regular determination, is always going to be revealing “new stuff”.
Human Symbolic Interface
The Phenomenal Field and the Symbolic Human Interface
Rogers’ phenomenological theory complements DNA-Self Theory by providing a relational framework for reclaiming pruned natural DNA-Originated potentials, but assumes greater accessibility to innate growth drivers than childhood chronic trauma may allow ,ost people to access.
Core-Self Pruning
Theory of Autonomous Complexes
Jung developed his theory of autonomous complexes in 1908, through word association experiments at the Burghölzli psychiatric clinic in Zurich. By measuring subjects’ reaction times to stimulus words and noting hesitations, slips, and emotional reactions, Jung discovered patterns suggesting emotionally-charged “hot spots” in the unconscious.
