In The Integration Theory of Psychoanalysis, Part 1: The Emotion Control Theory is discussed, and Part 2: The Formation Theory of Psychic Phenomena is discussed. In The Emotion Control Theory, I discuss that emotional control gives rise to normality or abnormality of the mind. In The Formation Theory of Psychic Phenomena, two themes are highlighted.

  One theme is the difference between cognition and recognition. Cognition originates in the interrelation between the perception system and the thinking system, and recognition originates from various intuitions within the awakening self (the marrow self). When the emotion (affect) system joins with the cognitive function, the normality or abnormality of cognition is generated. In other words, when the displeasure-regulation system is activated, normal cognition is generted, and when the displeasure-defense system is activated, abnormal cognition (for example; hallucinations observed in psychoses) is generated. Moreover, when the emotion (affect) system joins the recognitory formation, the normality or abnormality of recognition is generated. In other words, 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 theme is the interrelation between consciousness and self-consciousness. Consciousness is the "fusion of subject and object" or "bringing into not-being," and self-consciousness is the "separation of subject and object" or "bringing into being." Each of these concepts 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 or temporal lobe (stimulated by the emotional brain or occipital lobe). The generation of consciousness leads to a distinction between the area of mind in which it is constantly possible for an individual to bring matters into consciousness and the area of mind in which it is impossible to do so.  The former is referred to as preconsciousness, the latter is referred to as unconsciousness. This relation, the preconscious−the conscious−the unconscious, is thought of as the interrelation between consciousness and self-consciousness. Self-consciousness can be generated without the generation of consciousness,and forms the basis of dreams.

  The marrow self (the awakening self) is the "seat of consciousness" and the "nest of dialectics." It is considered that the marrow self lies in the frontal lobe. The contents, which are put into the separation of subject and object (bringing into being), reach to the marrow self, and they are put into the fusion of subject and object (bringing into not-being) by a convergence function owing to the "mesh structure" in the marrow self. The fusion of subject and object refers to the experience of intuition.

  The conscious is the minimum intuition necessary for awakening. Intuitions include the aesthetic intuition, the intellectual intuition, and the emotional (affective) intuition. These degrees of intuitions (the degree of a convergence function of the marrow self) are expressed by the "awakening degree." The conscious originally occurs for the dissolution of displeasure.


                                                 Formation Theory of Psychic Phenomena

  The mesh structure in the marrow self is in strata. For example, when someone has the function of bringing into not-being only in the lowest stratum, he/she merely experiences foggy mental states even while awake. After awakening and being gradually occupied with daily chores, he/she  has the function of bringing into not-being which is formed in the mesh structure from the lower to middle stratum (as drawing a triangular top). If someone has purposeful themes, he/she can make the function of bringing into not-being work in the location where the theme can be dissolved. Moreover having tasks with expert contents, he/she requires the function of bringing into not-being in the higher stratum and pays more attention to the tasks. The more he/she gets used to these tasks, the more neuron's "rami" are spread within the higher stratum of the mesh structure. Therefore, the brain structure of every individual is "not the same." If the complicated net can be placed in the higher stratum within the marrow self, we can soon get to the awakening degree at a higher level and easily resume expert tasks.

  The fusion of subject and object (bringing into not-being) by the marrow self generates recognition through the following processes: observation, concentration,　intuition, and insight. Observation refers to the neural transmissions from the perception system, the thinking system, and the emotion (affect) system to the marrow self. Concentration refers to the neural transmissions from the solitary type of the grandiose self to the marrow self. Intuition refers to the convergence function peculiar to the marrow self.  Insight refers to an "analogy," in short, it is the translation of intuitive experiences by the thinking system. The intuitive experiences themselves are not transmitted. Insight forms "learning" of the intuitive experiences, which refers as "reason."

  Here, I mention the difference between cognition and recognition. Generally cognition originates in correlative neural transmissions among the perception system, the thinking system, and the emotion (affect) system. Recognition always originates in participation by the marrow self. The emotional (affective) characteristics of two kinds of undifferentiated displeasing factors are discussed at the beginning of The Emotion Control Theory. The following natures of mind belong to the contents of cognition: whenever a person gets angry, he/she feels that the other also gets angry, and that only he/she feels sadness (loneliness), while the other never does. In contrast, the contents of recognition, which correct the contents of cognition, are obtained by the function of the marrow self. These are shown as the following natures of mind; even if a person gets angry, he/she feels that the other does not always get angry, and that not only he/she but also the other feel sadness (loneliness). These mechanisms of obtaining recognition are usually expressed as "subtraction." These are expressed as follows: "bad self-object − rebellious self = bad self" or "weak self-object − idealized object = weak object."

  The contents of wisdom change into reason (learning) through intuitive experience by the marrow self. The contents of reason produced by this process blend with fresh contents of wisdom in the thinking system and are sent to the marrow self, again. These processes are cognized as the "stream of consciousness," and guarantee "absolute superiority of being" generated by time. Only this series of mental activities refers to self consciousness. Therefore, the origin of consciousness is quite different from the origin of self-consciousness. In other words, consciousness is the fusion of subject and object (bringing into not-being) itself, and self-consciousness is the separation of subject and object (bringing into being) and its contents.

  Self-consciousness is first clarified into the "emotion (affect) exclusion type" and the "emotion (affect) inclusion type." The emotion exclusion type of self-consciousness contains self-consciousness generated only by the thinking system and self-consciousness originating in the interlocking movements between the perception system and the thinking system.  The emotion inclusion type of self-consciousness is self-consciousness where the emotion system involves the perception system or the thinking system and it constantly requires bringing into not-being. The emotion inclusion type of self consciousness is clarified into the "regulatory type,"  the "defensive type," and the "dissociative type."


                                             Formation Theory of Psychic Phenomena

  Our fantasies and associations of ideas form this type of self-consciousness. The perception system, and subsequently the thinking system, is activated in response to the eternal world. The emotion (affect) exclusion type of self-consciousness can be referred to as the "wisdom self-consciousness." It is necessary for an individual to place the grasp of situations and the methods of participation into the conscious at the start of psychic movements. Such materials placed into the conscious are the emotion (affect) exclusion type of self-consciousness. However, it is no longer required to place these contents into the conscious at the stage of the assembly line (i.e., life habits). Most of our daily life activities are performed by the preconscious which was once placed into the conscious. For example, when someone drives a car while thinking of something, his/her consciousness lies within the thought, and the driving is performed by "the perception system + the preconscious."

  The emotion (affect) system (activated by neural transmissions from the perception system or the thinking system) stimulates the solitary type of the grandiose self. This is accomplished after the use of the emotion (affect) control system, and the solitary type of the grandiose self again stimulates the perception system or the thinking system (the separation of subject and object, or bringing into being). This leads to the occurrence of the regulatory type self-consciousness. To put it simply, this self-consciousness is generated when an individual's sound (empathic and rebellious) subjectivity works  with the strong will. Self-consciousness in this case can constantly send the contents of bringing into being, which are necessary for bringing into not-being, to the marrow self. The reason which is the contents brought into not-being blends with wisdom, and becomes the contents for bringing into not-being, again. This regulatory type of self-consciousness also belongs to the preconscious, and it includes some of the personality traits mentioned above. For example, this can include honesty (pureness), diligence, patience, and so on. These traits are the natures of self-regulatory factors. They can always be placed into consciousness, but they also support the regulatory type of self-consciousness.

  When the emotion (affect) control system cannot work well enough, and the two grandiose selves cannot be activated, this leads to the mental states that the separation of subject and object (bringing into being) cannot occur positively. In other words, the displeasure-defense sytem involves the perception system or the thinking system, and this causes "unclear" bringing into being. In such a mental state, even if the displeasure-defense system transmits neural stimuli into the marrow self, bringing into not-being will not occur, and recognitory formation is not fully induced. Since the contents of bringing into being which are generated by the displeasure-defense system are unrealistic, the marrow self cannot work dialectically. Within a dream, the displeasure-defense system and displeasure-regulation system interact and form the unconscious. When awakening, the displeasure-regulation system forms the regulatory type of self-consciousness, and the displeasure-defense system forms the "unconscious consciousness." This unconscious consciousness is referred to as the defensive type of self-consciousness. The defensive type of self-consciousness lies at the bottom of symptom formation. If this self consciousness is raised to the conscious level, a cluster of symptoms will disappear.


                                                     Formation Theory of Psychic Phenomena

  There is "undulation" of self-consciousness that steps over the conscious and moves up and down; this is referred to as the dissociative type of self-consciousness. According to the observation at the time of passing, the regulatory type of self-consciousness (which has been generated at a certain point in time) changes into the defensive type of self consciousness and then returns to the regulatory type of self-consciousness. Although each is naturally generated during awakening, the mental conditions generated during "sinking" within the defensive type of self-consciousness become forgotten. Why is this undulation of self-consciousness generated? The most important cause involves the  "strength of awakening" mentioned above. When the displeasure-regulation system is active, the network of "rami" is formed in the frontal lobe and the degree of awakening ascends. As a result, the regulatory type of self-consciousness is also strengthened. If the activation of the displeasure-regulation system is poor, the regulatory type of self consciousness becomes unstable. Moreover, if dissociation is generated (in the emotion system), the regulatory type of self-consciousness easily changes into the defensive type of self-consciousness. However, the dissociative type of self-consciousness is not generated in psychotic states, because the regulatory type of self-consciousness is not present; only the defensive type of self-consciousness is present.
