Channel: Prof. Sam Vaknin
Date: 2023-08-30

The same brain circuitry is responsible for processing space and memory.

Infant amnesia vs. childhood amnesia

Flaw in spatial processing and language processing caused by trauma and abuse (hiding and being entrained) results in:

1. Inability to tell external from internal (psychosis, narcissism), hyperreflexivity

2. Impaired ability to form memories

3. Impaired reality testing

4. Grandiose magical thinking (referential ideation, paranoia, psychotic megalomania, erotomanic delusion)

5. Identity diffusion and disturbance

6. Arrested development (infantilism)
