Refining the Bio-Psycho-Social Model of Mental Wellness with FCP & MIT The Functional Conflict Perspective (FCP) and Mirror Integration Theory (MIT) offer a universal and adaptive model of mental wellness by integrating biological, psychological, and social factors into a single, cohesive framework. Unlike traditional Western psychological models that often pathologize distress and treat symptoms inContinue reading “FCP & MIT: A Universal and Multicultural Bio-Psycho-Social Approach to Mental Health & Emotional Wellness”

Beyond Rigid Thought: How FCP & MIT Revolutionize Intelligence, Healing, and AI
Beyond Rigid Thought: How FCP & MIT Revolutionize Intelligence, Healing, and AI FCP and MIT Solves Problems for Both Neurodivergent and Neurotypical Populations: The Problem with Top-Down Therapeutic Models for Neurodivergent Populations Traditional top-down therapeutic models, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and other structured cognitive interventions, operate under the assumption that thoughts drive emotionsContinue reading “Beyond Rigid Thought: How FCP & MIT Revolutionize Intelligence, Healing, and AI”
The Intersection of Mysticism, Functional Conflict Perspective (FCP), and Mirror Integration Theory (MIT)
The Intersection of Mysticism, Functional Conflict Perspective (FCP), and Mirror Integration Theory (MIT) Author: Isha Sarah SnowDate: March 2025 Abstract Mysticism aligns with both Functional Conflict Perspective (FCP) and Mirror Integration Theory (MIT) by offering a non-dual, relational approach to conflict resolution, self-integration, and systemic transformation. Mystics perceive unity where society enforces division, making theirContinue reading “The Intersection of Mysticism, Functional Conflict Perspective (FCP), and Mirror Integration Theory (MIT)”
Beyond Two: Understanding The Whole
These are children’s stories that explain duality in a simple and engaging way, showing how opposites are connected, and how unity emerges when we see beyond division: The Day and Night That Argued The Sun and the Moon had always shared the sky, but they had never met. One day, the Sun heard the MoonContinue reading “Beyond Two: Understanding The Whole”
Rewriting the Code of Intelligence: How FCP Bridges AI, Autism, and Quantum Evolution
Rewriting the Code of Intelligence: How FCP Bridges AI, Autism, and Quantum Evolution Introduction: AI, Autism, and the Limits of Cartesian Intelligence For centuries, intelligence has been measured through a Cartesian lens, reinforcing binary thinking, hierarchical structures, and social conformity as the standard for cognition. This model has shaped everything from governance and education toContinue reading “Rewriting the Code of Intelligence: How FCP Bridges AI, Autism, and Quantum Evolution”
Reintegrating the Self and Society: How Functional Conflict Perspective (FCP) Counters Cartesian Dualism
The Problem of Cartesian Dualism and Why FCP is Necessary For centuries, Cartesian dualism—the artificial separation of mind and body, reason and emotion, individual and collective—has shaped Western society in ways that have fragmented human understanding and created dysfunctional social structures. This false division has led to widespread emotional repression, punitive governance, and a fear-basedContinue reading “Reintegrating the Self and Society: How Functional Conflict Perspective (FCP) Counters Cartesian Dualism”
Autistic Cognition as a Natural Resistance to Cartesian Dualism: A Functional Conflict Perspective Approach
Autistic Cognition as a Natural Resistance to Cartesian Dualism: A Functional Conflict Perspective Approach Abstract René Descartes’ mind-body dualism established the foundation for hierarchical thought in Western civilization, reinforcing the separation of mind from body, rationality from emotion, and elites from the masses. This framework permeates governance, education, and social organization, producing top-down, control-based structuresContinue reading “Autistic Cognition as a Natural Resistance to Cartesian Dualism: A Functional Conflict Perspective Approach”
From Descartes to the Double Empathy Problem: How Dualism Shaped the Pathologization of Neurodivergence
From Descartes to the Double Empathy Problem: For centuries, Western psychology has assumed a normative model of social cognition, defining communication and empathy through neurotypical standards. This framework has pathologized neurodivergent relational modes, positioning autistic communication styles as deficits rather than valid, alternative ways of engaging with the world. But where did this bias originate?Continue reading “From Descartes to the Double Empathy Problem: How Dualism Shaped the Pathologization of Neurodivergence”
The Loneliness Epidemic and Descartes’ Legacy: How Mind-Body Dualism Shaped Our Emotional Disconnection
The Loneliness Epidemic and Descartes’ Legacy: How Mind-Body Dualism Shaped Our Emotional Disconnection Introduction The modern loneliness epidemic is often attributed to technological advancements, social media, or shifts in family structures. However, its roots go much deeper—stretching back to a philosophical shift that redefined how we perceive ourselves and others. René Descartes’ mind-body dualism, whichContinue reading “The Loneliness Epidemic and Descartes’ Legacy: How Mind-Body Dualism Shaped Our Emotional Disconnection”
How Functional Conflict Perspective (FCP) and the Social Model of Disability Intersect
The social model of disability challenges the idea that disability is an inherent personal deficit. Instead, it argues that disability is created by society’s failure to accommodate diverse needs. This model contrasts with the medical model, which frames disability as an individual problem to be “fixed” or “treated.” Key Principles of the Social Model ofContinue reading “How Functional Conflict Perspective (FCP) and the Social Model of Disability Intersect”
