There are definite parallels, and I have recommended this book elsewhere on this thread for those interested in psychology.
The I/it dichotomy of AVRT® parallels the phenomenon identified by Dr. Jaynes as “consciousness.” Point for point, his observations and descriptions of bicamerality and consciousness match the well-developed AVRT® model with remarkable precision.
