N2 - We will describe in two articles (>Sense of self and psychosis<, 1 and 2) the theoretical basis and the methodology of a new therapeutic group approach called amniotic therapy, which aims to improve the sense of self of psychotic patients. In this first article we explore the role of the surface of the body and its early sensorimotor interactions in the processes of self/other identification and differentiation. We propose that these processes have common origins, the body surface and its interactions, but different destinies, depending on where the body’s surface is projected. When it is projected intrapsychically we have differentiation, and when it is projected externally onto the body’s surface of the other, we have identification. Identification is a reciprocal process, in which the self’s and the other’s surfaces mutually contain each other and co-create a shared field. The neural correlates of identification and differentiation are discussed. The second article, which follows, describes amniotic therapy and explores a single case study.

N2 - Some people diagnosed with schizophrenia show an alteration of the sense of self. From a psychodynamic perspective, it has been hypothesized they have disorders of the integration of self/other identification/differentiation processes. From a neuroscientific view some with this diagnosis present dysfunctions in neural correlates of representation of self from other (the implicit sensorimotor-based bodily self), and self united with other. In >Sense of self and psychosis, part 1< we discussed scientific literature offering empirical evidence for the psychodynamic clinical observations that patients with diagnoses of psychoses didn’t receive adequate early infancy parental care and sufficient affective-sensorial/tactile interactions. Introducing parental care/cutaneous interactions seemed relevant in the analytic treatment of psychoses, as the pioneers of the psychoanalytic approach to psychosis suggested. From this theoretical basis we developed amniotic therapy, which reproduces the affective-tactile interactions of early infancy, insufficient in cases of psychosis, and aims at integrating the processes of differentiation and identification. We present a single case study of an experimental intervention plan including amniotic therapy. Results showed increases in interoception and global functioning, with significant decreases in positive symptoms suggesting that amniotic therapy contributes to increasing the protective strength of self-boundaries and integration of identification/differentiation processes.

[Online ISSN 2319-7064] [ijsr.net/getabstract.php?paperid=SR22924100124] N2 - The concept of Humanization was not born by itself. Problems that often occur in society, especially in today's modern era, highlight the dehumanization side. The emergence of information technologies, artificial intelligence, modern machines, and automation threatens human survival as a resource. Not to mention the mass media, advertisements, adsense on websites, online shops bring up a new culture in the realm of public consumption, especially for luxury goods. Moreover, society has a limited economic level, while the existence of these various technologies does not see the social levels in society anymore. The problem in this society is an example of dehumanization, namely the existence of humans who are isolated from themselves because their lives as humans have been made to depend on technology, so they cannot distinguish between their own wants and needs. Therefore, humanization is a solution to fight dehumanization. The methodology used in writing this paper uses an analytical approach to documentation approach and critical analysis according to Erich Fromm's humanist theory. Efforts and inculcation of Pancasila values in the process of humanization of digital literacy are the responsibility of digital media providers and digital media users. The collaboration between the two is the spearhead that is interrelated in growing awareness of digital literacy, especially in humanizing humans in harmony with the morals of Pancasila. Humanization of digital literacy is a way to humanize through learning about digital literacy that is good and right on social networks and cyberspace. By learning true digital literacy, people are enabled to have life skills that can help society. Therefore, the humanization of digital literacy is not only beneficial personally but also for the lives of social communities. Y1 - 2022 ER -
