IPAM Personality Theory • IPAM Personality Theory
Fantasy is the prevalent model in the narcissist’s mind.
Higher-order theories (HOTs).
Account for snapshotting (introjection): a higher-order representation (an erroneous belief about the object’s externality) that represents a lower-order, sensory input (the externality and separateness of the object, among other data).
Global workspace theories (GWTs).
Spotlighting the object in the global workspace of the fantasy.
Integrated information theory (IIT).
Dissociation and other defenses undermine the integration of information among various parts or modules and, therefore, consciousness (core identity or Self are euphemisms for introspective interoception aka consciousness).
Narcissists have low Φ (phi).
Re-entry and predictive processing theories.
The fantasy is a top-down signal.
IPAM is a GWT+IIT.
