If the physical body, the brain, is damaged, is that changing the ‘self’? We have agreed on a realm we say is real and, behaviours which are normal. But how real is this realm? And, how normal are ones behaviours after experiencing a traumatic event? May we, with caution, aim our thoughts in a new direction when discussing a mental illness? A direction that is viewing a, still poorly lit by modern psychology, corner of the brain mixing-up ‘reality’ with ‘illusions’ through a disrupted flow in information transfer. What is ‘myth’ and what is ‘logos’ when we speak of a mental illness? And, was Carl G. Jung correct after all when saying that the ‘ collective shadow’ is a dangerous one, fading away our unique fingerprint?
