[FORBIDDEN TEACHINGS] The existance of detectable drive settings
| .A little know aspect of Fateanalysis is that there exists (determinable in the Szondi Test) evidence of settings of the basic drive directions of individuals. Szondi offered that these settings led to a persons fate in life (hence the “fate analysis term). These settings can only be partly explained as being determined by imitation, education, Pavlovian conditioning or environmental pressures. Szondi offered a gene theory as recast in ones ancestor set drives. His insight was that these drives are when exaggerated the same as eight basic psychiatric conditions universal in humans. He came to this opinion from genealogy studies These things we theorize must set the controls that exist, but are not the actual control function ( almost as a device) of an individuals drive system. The term drive and drive system was a late addition to Szondi’s work, by which is meant how a persons drives are also the result of existing settings. Something like the permissions and defaults we have come to know as the software actions in a computer program. An analogy is, when some are ‘on’- certain others are ‘off’ but still exist, ‘grayed out’ and not accessible until a certain task is completed or canceled. These CONTROLLING SETTINGS have a range permitted by heredity in an individual’s personality system. This defines the otter limit that imitation education and conditioning can no longer make thinking, feeling, and behavioral changes. The settings range is limited by an individual’s inheritance as to intelligence, emotional responses, and neurological state. It however represents in an analog form which we can detect from projected effects in the psychological test invented by Szondi. Several attempts have been made to link Rorschach Test findings to certain projections found in the Szondi Test. However many individuals do not effectively control what they do inherit. There is reason to believe that the possibilities, an individual uses in his development can and will be only the control possibilities that pass to him from the gene mixture. Our focus then is to come to understand these settings and the resultant thought feeling and behavioral out comes. Then hopefully to use this knowable to assist that person to satisfy the needs in a social positive manner. In particular those that define his ways or modes of satisfying his innate drive needs. (Innate drives needs are those common to all humans and discernible with similar goals in animals. Thus, hereditary and biological in nature.) This may sound like double talk until you can you can form a table of the possibilities and display the possibilities. The great minds of the past from Aristotle, through to the philosophers and today’s modern psychology theorists, all offer useful but partial examples of such possibilities and limitations. Our knowledge situation is much like the state of chemistry before the insights of the Russian professor, Dmitri Ivanovich Mendeleev 1834-1907, the creator of the first workable predictive version of the periodic table of elements. Unlike other contributors to earlier chemistry tables, The Mendeleev display predicted the properties of elements yet to be discovered. This was with some inconsistencies do to an incomplete array of findings, the rarity and transient nature of some elements and limited tools of analysis that existed in his day. [Note the parallel to psychology to day.] Our ability to display the graphic analogs of the human drive system is about at the level of and shares similar problems as the Mendeleev display. Also we note that Szondi’s test instrument, that he always called his test experimental, and the test ensemble has not been revised or supplemented with new reagent quality visage photos since it’s introduction in 1937. Nor has the eight psychiatric conditions used as core to his filtering out of the settings been brought into the thinking of DSM IV. In fact Catatonia, Hysteria. Epilepsy and Manic-Depressive have new OR MODIFIED definitions and if we are to understand Szondi correctly we must use his definitions. Be this as it may, we must persist, using the tools we have, rather than lose the insight and prediction capabilities inherent in the Szondian tables, filling in as we go from our own findings tested against the opinions of L. Szondi and his coworkers, particularly Susan Deri, who offers a psychology approach and Jacques Schotte, in Belgium, the developed a special ‘Pathoanalysis’ approach. The Tables of The Possible Settings (Following Szondi) are four main divisions. They also may be conceived as being related - Heredity spheres. 1.Sexual 2. Paroxysmal 3. Ego, 4. Contact. ( Each sphere an important study and cluster of controls and effects needed to attempt to explain aspects of human psychology, as limited as is our present ability to do so is.) To recognize a setting you must know the set position of the two factors in that sphere. A heredity sphere is also called a “Vector” a term borrowed from navigation science. The reagent visage photo dyadic forming a Vector Sexual: Homosexuals and Sadists. Paroxysmal: Epileptics and Hysterics. Ego (Sch): Catatonics and Paranoids. Contact: Manics and Depressives. FOUR HEREDITY SPHERES OF HUMANS as understood WITHIN THE CONSTRAINTS OF THE SZONDI TEST. These four Spheres when set into a Mendeleeve-like table forms a relative system, within which psychological needs and behavioral strivings are in a (determinable by the experimental test) relationship. With each such setting determined one can attach a term or phrase that reflects its nature. This nature term may be appropriate in some cases and not others, but offers a starting point for logical analysis. The clinical empiric found in others with known conditions or symptoms or behavior syndromes have to support it as being a common to others that have that setting. (This is also the case with other projective tests, such as the Rorschach Ink Blot test as one of the validity indexes.) Each Sphere, has 16 possibilities that exist within it. This number is do to the constraints of the test’s construction. Perhaps a further developed test set could filter out additional settings or even strivings of a different nature, if a more refined process for the separation was constructed. At present we must use what we have. However as limited as one can argue that the Szondi Test test instrument is, it is still a useful. For decisive analysis one must not rely on any one test or test method. method to advance our knowledge and findings. The findings then force a change in out theoretic. We are not attempting the teaching the test. Here we are illustrating its unique possibilities, that may spin off into education, vocational selection, social work, mental hygiene, personal psychotherapy or self-analysis. It was Leopold Szondi’s leap of insight that drives could be measured against the eight psychiatric conditions. Read “Faces of Madness” Link in Blogroll. |
