This is a model, based on John’ Vervaeke’s work with the 4P’s of knowing, which has a slightly different take on how we think. It nicely explains both Autism and Schizophrenia in a very simple way. We believe it also incorporates some key ideas of how best to find out how people are stuck in an Intimacy Crisis or Meaning Crisis and therefore what they most need.
While this is a diagram, please keep in mind that this describes a reciprocal process of thought, it is not strictly directional, as parts above interact with parts below even though things flow from bottom to top.
If you find this model useful, we do have more we could publish, let us know!
