Introduction of the Integration Theory of Psychoanalysis in the Next Generation

 I published "The Integration Theory of Psychoanalysis in the Next Generation: Consciousness is a navigator that goes through a detour to explore the main road, the essence of language is pleasure and displeasure, the artificial mind is the super-personality, having both language and consciousness―This is the emergence theory for the Artificial mind(AM), the convergence of consciousness, language and personality" in Japanese on February 14, 2019.

 The Integration theory of Psychoanalysis is composed of two parts: the emotion control theory and the formation theory of psychic phenomena. Both of animal nature, i.e., "the displeasure-defense system" which produces abnormality (disease), and a uniquely "human" nature, i.e., "the displeasure-regulation system" which produces normality (health), are present within the human mind. In fact, various psychic phenomena are the result of the mixing of these two systems. About almost all psychic phenomena, I clinically observed the psychodynamics. The psychodynamics are generated through the interlocking activation of the displeasure-defense system and the displeasure-regulation system. And I elucidated how these psychodynamics produce personalities, disease, and symptoms. In result, I constructed "the emotion control theory." When this theory was near completion, I naturally grasped the mechanisms which correspond to the formation theory of psychic phenomena:self-consciousness, the generation of consciousness, the birth of language, the formation of context, and so on.

 Briefly put, the displeasure-defense system within the emotional control system (functional network of neural transmissions in the emotional brain) produces the generating mechanism of consciousness. Based on a revision of Freud's topography, the theory explains that stimuli from the unconscious and preconscious converge and collide within the detours for choice which are produced (by conscious neurons) in the area of consciousness. After that, conscious neurons select stimuli brought into being and vectorize them. The main road is explored in result. The neural transmissions in the main road are indicated as "preconsciousness⇔unconsciousness," and the neural transmissions in the detours are indicated as "preconsciousness⇔consciousness⇔unconsciousness." That is, consciousness is "the navigator that goes through the detours to explore the main road."

 Moreover, the displeasure-regulation system is the generating mechanism of language. The displeasure-regulation system is the specifically, uniquely human mind and creates the normal (healthy) mind beyond the displeasure-defense system, which is the animal brain (the cause of "abnormal" mind). First, the self-regulatory factors produce (the emotional cognitive) language. Next, language works as the tool to create a normal (healthy) mind. The normal (healthy) mind created by language promotes further development and growth of language. However, because the human mind also consists of the displeasure-defense system, acquired language is caught up and creates an abnormal mind. 

 To explain the functions of consciousness and language simply: consciousness is the mind's active ability to judge situations facilitating survival. Consciousness is produced by pleasure and displeasure. Language allows for the examination and maintenance of reality, and the essence of language is also produced by pleasure and displeasure.

 After completing the detailed study of basic concepts, personality traits, symptom formation, and disorder formation that constitute the emotion control theory, I was then able to revise Freud's topography. I recognized that the study of these concepts led to the elucidation of consciousness. The evolution of the structure and function of human consciousness is much more complex than that of other animals. It became clear that consciousness produces psychodynamics in brain function which we use, e.g., intuition, prediction, inference, recursion, and so on. Moreover, after the elucidation of generating mechanisms of consciousness, the contents, which had been only vaguely understood and confused with the function of language, became clear. Now there is a precise understanding of why language was acquired. Recursion appears through a link of self-understanding and understanding of others, which are the essence of language. Although recursion is created by consciousness, "nested structure" as an original impression lies in the emotional control system which uses language (centered on the displeasure-regulation system) and creates a normal (healthy) human mind.

 Present-day research of mind and brain still defines "perceptionーmotion" as the origin and it is cognitive science centered on cognition (cognitive conception). The researchers advocate the importance of the body in their expanded research, and they believe that they can clarify emotion, consciousness, and language as an extension of research on the body. However, using emotion as the origin of consciousness and language makes it possible to explain the most important thing centered on the generating mechanisms. Because of this realization, I am convinced that it is impossible to solve fundamental problems on emotion, consciousness, and language through research on the body. In other words, mind is generated and developed in life in the following order: emotion (pleasure and displeasure)→consciousness→language→personality. When we create a model of the artificial mind (AM), we should create it in the following order: language→emotion (pleasure and displeasure)→personality→consciousness.

treatment aiming complete recovery is established. The contents beyond all imagination, the elucidation of consciousness & self-consciousness, the way to enlightenment etc. are included in this book.
