Overexcitabilities (Dabrowski)

Overexcitabilities, drawn from Dabrowski's Theory of Positive Disintegration, are heightened modes of responding to stimuli (psychomotor, sensual, intellectual, imaginational and emotional). In BEEI they explain why certain occupants — often the same individuals as the Enthropathological Mind — register environmental decay with disproportionate intensity, and they inform a Universal Access Architecture that communicates the service in ways that neither overwhelm nor dismiss heightened sensitivities. They tie the framework's psychology to a recognised model of cognitive difference.
