INDEX IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION TO BRING ORDER TO THOSE DESIRING TO FOLLOW A LOGICAL STUDY SEQUENCE.
Which has two directions.
The first borrows directly from teachings of Hungarian Psychiatrist (Later Swiss) Lipot (Leopold) Szondi.
- [1] SZONDIAN [A Rosetta Stone of Drive/Needs which requires a modest amount of up learning, but once grasped makes the goals of each of the eight drive understandable, each drive/need set by heredity are those that unconscious steers a person in his choices significant, love object, friends, symptoms and occupational preferences.
The second openly adopts nearly in total the teachings of Karen Horney as presented in her book 1942 Self-Analysis. (Still recommended reading six decades later.)
- [2] SELF-ANALYTIC [Derivative Karen Horney who’s teachings on Self-analysis are based on her life time of practicing psychoanalysis and having been the training analyst for two generations of neophyte analysts in Germany and later the U.S. She laid out the fundamentals of self-analysis, explaining her reasons for going public with the procedure and at the same time making clear, certain limitations are to be accepted. She offered certain concepts called ‘basic’ (that means every human has) but are ones that assumes greater importance in any neurotic connected conflicts, trends or symptoms. Neurotic being on a continuum from normal to a virtual mental brake down. The more neurotic one is, the greater the influence or reaction formation against these aspect attributable to Basic Anxiety:
- Basic Anxiety
-
- This is anxiety as an inner signal or alarm that automatically sets certain reactions in motions. It may work alarmingly with not every one having manifest anxiety. Those that have an actual anxiety neurosis also have basic anxiety is if in a flood, but is out of range of anything one would caee to call basic.
- This also is on a continuum of normal to a near total disruption of some functional aspects.
- Most people healthy or neurotic are far greater under the influence of their Basic Anxiety than they are aware of. This concept is almost essential to explaining most inhibitions and/or compulsions.
- Just pointing this out to a person does not change it. Authentic depth level requires it’s origin and complexities be understood, and ultimately to over come the resistance to change that is associated with it.
-
- Basic Hostility
When it come to deciding to begin a systematic depth level self-analysis she is the authentic authority that pointed out both the way, the pitfalls and offered practical advice. She more than any other defined what such a practice requires to advance insight and effect changes that are not pseudo-solutions. Most quick fixes and miracle cures you hear of are the temporary benefits of pseudo-solutions which long term usually relapse or simply shift to a new form.
The second being aimed at demonstrating in a practical and self referent manner a number of the most useful concepts of Szondian findings. Many of these concepts being derived from the Szondi Test, the projective test invented 1937 by at that time a titled Professor, Lipot Szondi.
Simplification, of course means much omission and the additional effort ofbringing of two system of thought developed from different standpoints together results in what is called, a mash up, or a forced amalgam. As such it may not fairly represent the views of the authors of either system and be flawed for some uses. Nevertheless this seems to offer practical advantages of a direct immersion into the kind knowledge needed for interpretation of his own findings.
Those entering here that have established allegiances to other psychological systems may balk at this effort with some justification. They are free to use their own inventory of concepts if they chose to self-analysis. Each person can chose for himself the level of self analysis they follow. In this Fateanalysis based site seeks to provide opportunities and suggested procedures that aim to increase your insights into yourself, rather than providing anyone with a complete theory of psychology.
The choice levels that suggest them selves are loosely separated as follows:
- Rational Cognitive Problem Focused
- Augmented Self-Examination using self-Inventories and other Prepared Tests.
- Dream Analysis and a preliminary flirtation with unconscious motivation concepts
- occasional self analysis including semi-Freudian teachings and the consideration of each concept against what you know of your self, childhood, your development,
These approaches may be carried out. Now and then for fun, on on an occasional basis with some symptom, problem or neurotic trait, as the principle motivation for the analytic effort. These are often traits unwanted or disturbing to you and not of such a concern that one would ordinarily consult a professional therapist about.
-
- without systematic free association (but using mostly didactic knowledge.)
- with some level of free association (using some self generated findings)
- comfortably using any of the various modes above.
