Re-authoring Identity Through the Psyche-Myth Architecture: A Structured Framework for Transpersonal Psychotherapy
Journal of Contemporary Approaches in Psychology and Psychotherapy. December 1, 2024 Gary Ow 5 citations
This conceptual paper introduces the Psyche-Myth Architecture and the Modular Myth Engine Live-action Dashboard (MMELD), a structured framework for psychotherapy that challenges the lack of systematization in transpersonal approaches. The model posits the human psyche as an inner architecture built on universal mythic and archetypal principles. The MMELD serves as a symbolic internal interface, empowering clients to consciously deploy Archetypal Operators—likened to selecting a video game skin—to navigate psychological challenges and drive change. The methodology reframes therapeutic intervention as optimizing one's internal operating system, moving beyond symptom reduction or narrative re-telling, and aims to bridge the gap in structured transpersonal therapeutic methodologies.
