Discover the groundbreaking exploration of psychology in the comprehensive treatise, Unifying Causality and Psychology: Being, Brain, and Behavior (PDF). This innovative work delves into the intricate web of factors that shape both normal and dysfunctional behaviors, placing causality at the forefront of its analysis across various disciplines.

This ebook embarks on a holistic journey toward the unification of psychological principles, emphasizing the interconnectedness of experience, genetics, development, transformative mechanisms, and evolutionary processes. One of the standout features of this work is its examination of free will, encapsulated in the concept of ‘freedom in being.’ It adeptly highlights the critical role the self plays in understanding causality and the autonomy we possess in shaping our own actions.

In addressing disturbed behaviors, the material offers a thorough critique of the DSM-5 framework for mental disorders, venturing into the underlying causes of psychopathology.

• A detailed Neo-Piagetian/Neo-Eriksonian 25-step (sub)stage model for developmental insights.
• Explorations of causality concerning psychological injury and law, featuring foundational critiques.
• The impact of early adversity and fetal programming: a closer look at how events “get under the skin.”
