Defensive Narrative Decoupling Model of Psychosis (DNDM)

DNDM is an integrative conceptual framework designed to generate testable hypotheses, integrate transdiagnostic findings, provide mechanistic clarity, and guide research questions. Psychosis is conceptualized as defensive hypercoherence emerging when regulatory thresholds fail and private narratives decouple from shared reality.
