Exploring a psychospiritual theory of the general factor p
An as-yet unidentified single factor, commonly known in the literature as general factor p, has been proposed to account for the liability to psychopathology, comorbidity among psychopathologies and the persistence and severity of psychopathology. This study offers a qualitative analysis of a psychospiritual theory of factor p, framed as an insufficient understanding of the human psychospiritual system as envisioned by Sydney Banks. Fifty-six par…
A psychospiritual theory of general factor p
Research points to a single factor known as general factor p that can account for people’s liability to psychopathology, comorbidity among psychopathologies and the severity of psychopathology. Here, we speculate that this common psychopathology factor is an insufficient understanding of the way the human psychospiritual system (or HPS) works. We first describe the PrinciplesFootnote1 that we posit account for the operation of the HPS. Then we pr…
The Efficacy of Principle-Based Correctional Counseling for Improving the Self-Control and Mental Health of People Incarcerated for Sexual Violence
This study is the first to test the efficacy of principle-based correctional counseling (PBCC) for improving the self-control and mental health of people incarcerated for sexual violence (SV). A total of 132 males incarcerated for SV were assigned to a treatment group that received cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) supplemented with intensive PBCC and a waitlist control group that received only CBT. Results using paired t -tests and an analysis of…
Realizing Improved Mindfulness/Flow/Mental Health Through Understanding Three Spiritual Principles
A new spiritual understanding commonly known as the Three Principles proposes that mindfulness/flow/mental health is people’s most natural state and can be realized and sustained by everyone via insights gained through understanding three spiritual principles—Universal Mind, Consciousness, and Thought. We test this proposition for people exposed to the intervention grounded in these principles. The results appear to support our prediction that in…
Understanding Spiritual Principles or Depending on Techniques To Realize and Sustain Optimal Mental Health
The primary goal of positive psychology is understanding and facilitating optimal mental health. However, absent fundamental causal principles that explain human psychological experience, positive psychology is unlikely to achieve this goal. We posit that fundamental causal principles may already have been uncovered, and we offer a study that tests the process from exposure to these principles to improved mental health. The results appear to supp…
Inside-Out or Outside-In
We examine the relationship between understanding the psycho-spiritual principles of Universal Mind, Consciousness, and Thought, and perceived dependence on mindfulness techniques to realize improved mindfulness/mental health. Participants exposed to the intervention grounded in these principles also reported practicing meditation and/or mindfulness-based intervention techniques. The results from this preliminary study appear to support our predi…
