Stress may cause highly activated mythic images to erupt from the
psyche's deepest levels in the form of turbulent visionary
experience. Depending on whether the interactions between the
individual and the immediate surroundings lean toward affirmation
or invalidation, comprehension of these visions can turn the
visionary experience into a step in growth or into a disorder, as
an acute psychosis. Based on his clinical and scholarly
investigations, John Weir Perry has found and formulated a mental
syndrome which, though customarily regarded as acute psychosis, is
in actuality a more natural effort of the psyche to mend its
imbalances. If the upset is received in the spirit of empathy and
understanding, and allowed to run its course, an acute episode can
be found to reveal a self-organizing process that has self-healing
potential.
