Six Configurations of the Relationship Between Anomalous Experiences and Psychopathology
[Excerpt from: Rabeyron, T. (2022). When the truth is out there: counseling people who report anomalous experiences. Frontiers in Psychology, 12. https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2021.693707 ]
1. No Relationship: Anomalous experience without associated psychopathology (e.g., a precognitive dream).
2. Induced by Psychopathology: Psychopathological aspects trigger anomalous experiences (e.g., anxiety inducing a paranormal experience).
3. Misinterpreted Mental Disorder: Anomalous experiences are symptoms of a mental disorder (e.g., schizophrenia with delusions of telepathy).
4. Overlapping: Psychopathology and anomalous experiences are intertwined and indistinguishable (e.g., mystical experiences during manic episodes).
5. Induces Psychopathology: Anomalous experiences cause psychological issues (e.g., PTSD after an abduction experience).
6. Common Factor: A shared underlying factor leads to both anomalous experiences and psychopathology (e.g., thin mental boundaries).
Ang punto: hindi laging sintomas ng mental problem (psychopathology) ang kakaibang karanasan (anomalous o paranormal experience), ayon sa peer-reviewed scientific studies.
