| summary | In this research seminar, I present a new way of thinking about psychosis, against a backdrop of predictive processing, in terms of a disorder of the imagination. Human beings are deeply imaginative animals, and we are constantly delicately switch between elements of actual and nonactual worlds. We take for granted the intricate mechanisms whereby we keep track of the what is real and what is imagined, what is generated by us, and what is produced by the world. These mechanisms can be disrupted in many different ways, sometimes by something as simple as overwhelming emotions and attentional dysregulation, giving rise to a disconnection from reality. In this respect, psychosis gets reconceptualised, not as the presence of delusions and hallucinations, but as an inability to regulate and detect our imaginative endeavours. |
