Some Excerpts From Psyblog’s Post. Link to PsyBlog.com is at bottom of the section.

The classic question psychologists get asked at parties when they reveal their profession is: “Are you analyzing me?” A good answer for any psychologist who wants to be invited to more parties is: “Yes, and I find you to be a wonderful human being!” HOW THEIR SYSTEM IS CONSTRUCTED OF INVENTORIES OF VIRTUES AND STRENGTHS: Inventory of strengths “What they came up with was the ‘Values in Action Inventory of Strengths’ (VIA-IS) which, in a moment, I’ll suggest you take. But first a bit of background so that you can understand what it means. To create the VIA, Peterson and Seligman (2005) came up with 6 virtues and 24 strengths. The core virtues are those identified by philosophers, religious thinkers and others as being central to a ‘good character’ - these are the six main headings in the list below. The 24 character strengths, meanwhile, are those characteristics of individuals that contribute towards these virtues. These are listed under the virtue to which they contribute. Knowledge (virtue) Creativity (strength) Curiosity Love of learning Perspective (wisdom) Open-mindedness Courage (virtue) Bravery (strength) Persistence Integrity Vitality Humanity Capacity to love and receive love Kindness Social intelligence Justice Citizenship Fairness Leadership Temperance Forgiveness/mercy Modesty/humility Prudence Self-regulation Transcendence Appreciation of excellence and beauty Gratitude Hope Humor Spirituality+ - - - - - - - - - - - - The VIA-IS can be taken for free at http://www.viasurvey.org/, a site run by the VIA institute. You need to register and then the site will save your results so you can always revisit and check your strengths. Once you have registered with the site, you’ll see there are three different versions: the full survey for adults (240 questions), the full survey for those between 8 and 17 years old (198 questions) and a brief version (24 questions). I’d highly recommend putting in the 15 minutes or so it will take to complete the full survey. While the brief survey is a good indicator, you’ll get much more accurate results from the full survey. The VIA-IS questionnaire asks you questions that access each of the strengths. It then gives you your top 5 ’signature strengths’, along with all the other strengths in order, from strongest to weakest. You might be surprised about some of your signature strengths - I certainly was.’

“Drawing” Out Your Emotions–-[link]

Ego Egg

(Aunt Jane is his Aunt who that baby sits him and is student psychology intern at the Family Health Center and the source of vast interest in such things.)

Here Chirobut and Ego-Egg enter a dialog about how after nearly a century of dominance of Freud and Psychoanalysis devoted to the effects of the unconscious on a persons life. That at least in the north America, professional psychologists hardly ever publish papers on unconscious anything, preferring instead to claim orientation to the cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) viewpoint. Usually with the claim that this approach is direct, briefer and “cost effective”. Free association, and dream analysis is a waste of time as being too subjective for scientific consideration. Chirobut sees the same psychological ground as being open and endless and that, in fact, you should take it as your life mission, make a contract with yourself to continue on your own, once you are past any serious issues that might call for live therapist, or medication. He demands virtually every person (problems or not) to self-analyze and to do by use of depth level free association (not he says any Mickey Mouse, short term practice but for the rest of your life. Any symptom complexes or coping failures along the way all as far as he can see lie not just in the unconscious, but the three vast pools of the unconscious. The personal unconscious described by Freud, The collective/Archetypal of Jung and the gene-ancestor {familial} of Szondi. Ego-Egg of course, has a thousand Whys! and “Jane or Henry says–”. In response. Chirobut deals a best he can with the division and what in his experience is correct even if personal and antidotal. How do tell an eight year old how the man in a skirt and lipstick that walks by the office each morning while the kids are wanting for the bus has a psychological problem that it takes all three pools of the unconscious to explain. At times Chirobut waves the white flag, says: Ask your mother. With this layout of one or two panels at the top and text underneath would carry the fictional story forward just enoungh to make the actual discussion valid educational. Perhaps no more than a page of 500 to 1500 text words each post.

The concept here is one aimed at pulling the reader into a study of Szondian theory and also preparing him for entertaining the idea of entering into a process of self-anaysis, with new thinking tools that I am suggesting will permit a serious self examination without the necessity of an actual therapist. This is not to imply anything against therapists of any type, it is to suggest it should be useful for the vast majority of people who are normal or neurotic in only minor aspects of their lives. More to follow with each post. Blogroll on right links to interesting other content and disclaimers.

Adventures of Chirobut: How I became a Guru. The Kid asked “I want to know the forbidden teachings?” Surprised? I repled–Why? I translate his child speech to be meaninful communication: He was saying– “Because I want to save Mommy and Daddy from their compulsions to make me the same unhappy quarrelsome people they are.” Taken back, I did not for moment know which way to follow up on this appeal- should I ask for details of his parents behaviors. or where and how, he a school age child had come to the conclusion that information he needed to be helpful was being withheld as if forbidden. Was I dealing with an emerging psychologist- something like an eight year old musical genius or just a kid trying to cope with what he recognized as unhappy and quarrelsome parent’s behaviour that was impacting and shaping him the same way. I was never to get more than a few answers in our few minutes of exchange, as that was all there was ever to be with this kid. Before he departed, I did ask why he was asking me such questions— Oh ! –he said, his Mom was my patient, and was overhead to explaing to his aunt that in addition to being a Chiropractic Doctor, I was also some kind of a Guru that studied and used little known ways of helping others. Thanks Kid, I am glad to be your respected Guru. I resolve now, to use from time to time the comic characters of me as Chirobut and this sweet kid as Egg-Ego or maybe Ego-Egg in order to lighten up a sometimes too dark of a world, or web site. I visualize Ego-Egg as always eight years old who brings bit an pieces of content seemingly too profound for his age, and slightly out of context or focus. This being a devise to detach and see the humor in it. I think of having him as catching the school bus to and from school in front of the Chirobut Clinic with perhaps a girl school mate that can tell tidbits about his misadventures with his psycho-babel at school or the park. To explain his bent for such talk perhaps I will introduce his young adult cousin who baby sits him, takes him to PG 13 movies where she can meets young men her age, etc. She is also a college student intern in child therapy at the “Family Health Clinic” (located near by) where some of Ego-Egg’s classmates go to get’ straightened out’ in the eight year olds view. He may have a psychology view point, perhaps a no nonsence cognitive dedicated (for dry humor) and acting a mentor to his psychology intern girl friend- (bothl unaware of how much of this small Ego-Egg boy is absprbing and later dumping on Chirobut who sees everthing differently and slightly odd ball. Ego-Egg meets him often sweeping the sidewalk in from for his office which is also the bus stop in front of Chirobut’s office. Where shelter from the rain and wind and flower box seats are located, as he waits for the bus with his pals. (This Cartoon Art was layout generated- Thanks to the Guys at ComicStriperWriter.com)

Coping is the next thing to participation in the life of everyone.
I cope, you cope, We all must cope.
Dr. Szondi in his teaching of a theory of the fates of humans sets coping within the unique organ of the mind, we call the aware self, he preferred the German word “EGO” used as in- “me, myself and I” This sounds a little clunky to English usage conditioned ears. Those who come here from the reading of Freud may feel they have a grasp on this usage. They may be jolted a little to find out that they are now asked to consider that Freud’s view of the Ego was only a starting point. That the Ego is much more than one functional thing. Its role in coping events and strategies of a person trying to copes requires us to look at it from the viewpoint rhat happens to the Ego when some perilous demand impacts the Ego. Szondi by means of his Szondi Genic Test, a projective test produceing data that showed the empitrical clinical facts about particular cases, in which the Ego regressed, as if, moved to a developmentally older Ego and the mode of coping that was once appropirate for the person in childhood but not so as an adult!

Coping as an ordinary event draws on the persons customary modes of Ego handing in respect to the everyday levels of demands or stresses, which might call for a certain amount of his Ego to be devoted to dealing with the events requiring some coping activity with in oneself.
A mental move to override or make the best of some situation going on that now one would prefer to be different than it is a common example.
Thus a person put into a room of unruly children may find the effect very unpleasant and automatically seeks to cope with this. A more taxing demand on ones power to cope comes in response to a death or divorce situation in respect to a loved one. And in the case of hate charged divorce and the spillover of the conflict to the child custody agreement, consider what failed coping means adults acting at the mind level of infants. Failure to cope is one of the more common reasons people offer, as to why they believe they need to self-analyze,

There are many reasons why you might want to self-analyze yourself , safely on your own, without any therapist, auditor or other person or even mechanical device at all. It takes a small amount of new learning to do so. Once put into practice. It lets you help yourself with an effective method, not pills, religion, or Yoga.

There lies the port; the vessel, puffs her sail: There gloom the dark broad seas.

The lights begin to twinkle from the rocks: The long day wanes: the slow moon climbs: the deep Moans round with many voices.Come, my friends, ‘Tis not too late to seek a newer world. Push off, and sitting well in order smite The sounding furrows: for my purpose holds To sail beyond the sunset, and the baths Of all the western stars, until I die. It may be that the gulfs will wash us down: It may be we shall touch the Happy Isles, And see the great Achilles, whom we knew. Though much is taken, much abides: and though We are not now that strength which in old days Moved earth and hearth: that which we are, we are: One equal temper of heroic hearts, Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.

We have been too comfortable and too indulgentömany, perhaps, too selfishöand the stern hand of fatehasscoured ustoan elevationwhere we can see the great everlasting things that matter for a nation; the great peaks we had forgotten, of honour, duty, patriotism, and, clad in glittering white, the great pinnacle of sacrifice pointing like a rugged finger to Heaven.We shall descend into the valleys again, but as long as men and women of thisgeneration last, they will carry in their hearts the image of those great mountain peaks, whose foundations are not shaken, though Europe rock and sway in the convulsions of a great war.

—Dryden,John

To each his suff’rings, all are men, Condemned alike to groan; The tender for another’s pain, Th’unfeeling for his own. Yet ah! why should they know their fate? Since sorrow never comes too late, And happiness too swiftly flies. Thought would destroy their paradise. No more; where ignorance is bliss, ‘Tis folly to be wise.

—Gray,Thomas

It lies not in our power to love, or hate, For will in us is overruled by fate. When two are stripped, lo ere the course begin We wish that one should lose, the other win; And one especially do we affect Of two gold ingots, like in each respect. The reason no man knows, let it suffice, What we behold is censured by our eyes. Where both deliberate, the love is slight; Who ever loved, that loved not at first sight?

—Marlowe, Christopher

Space-ships and time machines are no escape from the human condition. Let Othello subject Desdemona to a lie-detector test; his jealousy will still blind him to the evidence. Let Oedipus triumph over gravity; he won’t triumph over his fate.

—Koestler, Arthur
