Rethinking the System: A Psychosocial Blueprint for Collective Transformation We often treat social problems—poverty, inequality, climate collapse, war—as separate issues, each with its own causes and solutions. But what if these crises are not isolated, but symptoms of a deeper systemic misalignment? What if our current governance, economic, and social structures are fundamentally designed toContinue reading “Rethinking the System: A Psychosocial Blueprint for Collective Transformation”

Redefining Sociopathology and Psychopathology Through the Lens of Neurotypicality as a Hierarchical Construct
For too long, psychology has treated neurotypicality as the default and neurodivergence as a deviation, failing to examine how neurotypicality itself is a socially conditioned, hierarchy-enforcing construct rather than an inherent baseline of human cognition. If we reverse-engineer the DSM, neurotypicality could be defined as a cognitive state characterized by binary thinking, emotional suppression, selectiveContinue reading “Redefining Sociopathology and Psychopathology Through the Lens of Neurotypicality as a Hierarchical Construct”
Turning the Tables on Pathology: Creating a Mutually Agreed-Upon Definition of Neurotypicality
For too long, psychology has framed neurodivergence as a deviation from an unexamined, supposedly objective standard of neurotypicality. But what if the framework itself is flawed? What if neurotypicality is not a neutral default but a socially conditioned state that reflects hierarchical norms, binary thinking, and emotional suppression rather than natural cognitive function? Instead ofContinue reading “Turning the Tables on Pathology: Creating a Mutually Agreed-Upon Definition of Neurotypicality”
Wernicke-ACC-Informed Therapy (WAIT): A Neurodevelopmental Alternative to ABA
Introducing Wernicke-ACC-Informed Therapy (WAIT): A Neurodevelopmental Alternative to ABA Recent neuroscience research has shed light on the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) as a key player in affective empathy, emotional regulation, and social cognition. Studies show that the ACC activates both when we experience pain ourselves and when we observe pain in others, highlighting its crucialContinue reading “Wernicke-ACC-Informed Therapy (WAIT): A Neurodevelopmental Alternative to ABA”
