0:01all right so here's a another uh
0:04psychological idea this one's a lot
0:06easier to understand and this won't take
0:09long
0:10uh this is also one i want you to think
0:12about
0:12uh applying to the

0:20he's an american psychologist um
0:24in the 1950s through the 1960s his most
0:28famous work in theory
0:30the divided self
0:35and in a nutshell
0:38he argues we are born and we start to
0:41form this idea of self
0:43um
0:44and as we interact with different people
0:50um we have different kind of
0:54perceptions of self that kind of uh that
0:56have to to form so uh maybe this is how
0:59you're around your family this is how
1:01you're at school at work and all this
1:04the um
1:06the healthy person psychologically will
1:08have the most overlapping area that
1:11where they all overlap the most shaded
1:13part so a really healthy person would
1:15look like just a solid circle uh because
1:19uh for the the most point
1:21the most part everything is is connected
1:24um he argues that psychosis happens
1:27when
1:28um
1:29because of events it becomes necessary
1:32to to
1:33develop different kind of cells around
1:35different people so
1:37um
1:38we start to um
1:41to develop itself
1:43very different from
1:45kind of our self-perception right and
1:47and how we have to act there and
1:48psychosis actually happens when the
1:50cells actually divide so there's no
1:53there's not overlapping
1:55um
1:57so the difference in how you're
1:58perceived and how you perceive yourself
2:00for instance
2:02um
2:02that would
2:03if there's a great enough difference so
2:06that they're not the same people that's
2:07a psychosis
2:10and that's
2:11that's it that's already length of the
2:12divide itself
