Avatar of Chirobut the scholar, At Bottom: Icon of Comic Chirobut, both aim at transmitting some  depth level insights.  It may be confusing as to which one is speaking to you.

It does not really matter- Just go with the flow.

This hosted Blog evolved from several free Blogs began 2005, some of which are still findable on search. The first efforts were to disseminate the shunned teachings of Hungarian Psychiatrist, Leopold Szondi. This proved to be very didactic and of little practical use except for a few still using the more or less depreciated projective test, that Szondi invented- ‘The Szondi Test’. The theoretical assumption that normal was but a balanced mixture of eight fundamental psychiatric conditions was a hard sell to others.

A second generation of Blogs, turned to promoting genic type based ’self-analysis’ on terms, suggesting you can see these very same basic psychiatric types (as Szondi defined them) in yourself. [Still important.]

If only you learn to use the depth level free association process borrowed (with apology) largely from Psychoanalyst, Karen Horney. This was with some modernizations added. Particularly useful in this respect was her concept of a Basic Anxiety existing in everyone.

I wished to refresh and expose persons to a new (or at least revised) knowledge of
themselfs by introducing them to the (more or less) forbidden and shunned teachings of Leopold (Lipot) Szondi-
Who stated, ‘normal’ is but a balanced mixture of eight basis psychiatric conditions. Therefor you cannot be fully psychoanalyzed unless you explore your own (Szondi claimed) three pools of the unconscious.

1. The personal/repressed, as described by S. Freud,

2. The collective/ archetypal of C. Jung and

3. The ancestral/psychiatric as described by L. Szondi.
Also to introduce you to the argument that you, with a minimum of up- learning, that can and should permit you (if not seriously mind sick) to psychoanalyze yourself. In addition, that such a process should be life long.
That the measuring of the value of any mind based therapy process by symptom removing alone is a false concept that has misled the professional psychology studies for the last one hundred years.

Don’t conclude that Chirobut limits himself to these three metaphors of the unconscious. He does not. He reaches to ‘best fit’ answers wherever they are to be found. Aristotle, Eastern religions, Melanie Klein, Jacques Lacan, Neuroscience and the Peanut’s Comic Strip are fair game.

Mixed into all this tongue in cheek characterizations are some things, that it is hoped will provoke you to some depth level thinking. It might encourage you to self-analyze.

Do not forget this is not me or the site practicing psychotherapy in any definitive form. Or is any claim of myself being a mental health professional is being implied or claimed. Also  those needing professional help are encouraged to do so.

Importantly, while some humor and fictionalizations are used, it is to make a points mind concept useful for the reader, who may accept or reject them as he wishs. Further your editor’s  credentials are only those of retired chiropractic doctor still looking for answers. Please join me in discusing such answers.

Come on in- Join the party- You are truly welcome here! Thinking about what it is all about can be fun! Little Ego-Egg opens the door to anyone that comes to the place. His childish innocence makes you smile in respect to your own crushing problems. Where they so crushing after all? Quirky Chirobut- centuries out of date, will make you laugh. Jane, so clever- so in control you will hope stays that way. Henry her boyfriend and would be sport’s psychologist may stir your ambivalence up- Is winning the game as so important as he see’s it to be?

Footnote: I am working on how to introduce the comic strip into the journal format of the WordPress Blog. Several test papes of different types are being tested for effect. Sorry if this is confusing to you.
