Abstract

Identity, a wholly human, relational element capable of integrating experiences related to biological, psychological, spiritual, societal, and digital stimuli not only on an objective level but also on a subjective one, is the most unique and complex psychogenic formation. It operates on an essential balance of optimal freedom, distance, and regulation, and enables subjects with the capacity to perceive, connect, synthesize, and grasp reality to feel like themselves under all short- or long-term conditions! The relational reciprocity-based cyclical causality of identity, consciousness, memory, and trauma is the fundamental law of the theory of dissoanalysis. Reality can be grasped only when psychic integration is present, and absolute reality only when spiritual integration exists. Self-actualization, which provides competence in all psychic functions of consciousness, memory, and identity, enables the experience of mental health! This article aims to structure self-actualization psychotherapy and self-actualization doctrines using the “dissoanalytic method”. In this theoretical study, identity, psychological and spiritual integration have been systematically analyzed in light of the dissoanalytic paradigm and modalities, forming the main framework of the fundamental principles of self-actualization psychotherapy. Additionally, originating from the dissoanalytic psychotherapy tradition and based on long-term clinical observations, Öztürk categorized new identities and defined “identity precession,” “dissociative emanation,” “autogenic integration,” “pluralistic personality,” and “holistic self”. Self-actualization psychotherapy and doctrines have been structured based on the psychotherapy and especially post-psychotherapy expectations of hundreds of trauma patients whose psychotherapies Öztürk completed with a high average success rate. Additionally, the main theoretical and practical framework of self-actualization psychotherapy and doctrines has been completed in response to the scientific approach sought beyond psychotherapy by dozens of individuals without psychiatric diagnoses who seek therapy to better develop themselves, understand themselves, and utilize their potentials more effectively.
