'Emotional Cognition Theory' (pt 1) - A New Psychoanalytic Therapy
Introduction:
To all concerned: The following Part 1 introduces a new psychoanalytic therapy which has been compiled by Robert N. Franz. The therapy is based on 'Emotional Cognition Theory' which is thoroughly described in the three mentioned books.
How do we relate our emotions to one another?:
You will find this therapy challenging because it makes participants have emotions that they must "work through" before taking any action. As an important note please understand that our definition of "emotion" is made up of many "feelings". In other words -- "feelings" are those constituents which are part of and make up any "emotion". To "live through" an emotion we may have to analyze the feelings which make all parts of it. The emotion of love can be made up of many feelings -- caring & comfort come to mind. Anger can be made up of possessiveness and jealousy. Pain itself can be from a multitude of negative feelings.
Therefore when we analyze emotions we see the feelings which make them up as well as how the emotions relate to each other. For some of us, It is like climbing a pine tree -- for others, we may be 'stuck' in a bush -- all in all we need to discover just how our feelings and emotions are arranged together! This is the quest for each individual -- to know how each of us are made.
How can this be said so it will get your attention?:
The trouble with mental health today is that people are classified into a 'strata' of groups. It is like having a meal for all with "You 'people of color' -- you 'darkies' sitting at the 'kid's' table -- while the rest of us sit at the 'adult' table". Yet in reality none of us need be in the 'dark'!!
What you don't know is that ALL people are susceptible to mental illness. Everyone can be addicted to something -- obsessions are common all throughout our culture. Aberrant thoughts can be off-center either from a breakdown in the brain functioning or just due to immaturity. Some form of violence is prevalent in us all -- not just a few. We all have a touch of mental illness which can magnify at different times in our lives -- and it does.
Therefore at some point we will all need treatment. Also, we cannot be certain of who will give the treatment to us when we need it.
What literature is used to make up this therapy, treatment or theory?:
What I have here is a new treatment -- a new psychoanalytic theory -- based on the work of three books:
(1) The Emotional Brain: The Mysterious Underpinnings of Emotional Life
This book describes the physiology of the brain and emotional pathways.
(2) The Stigma of the Mentally Ill: Bob Does Everything Backwards
This book describes an individual's struggle of mental illness in modern society -- which not only includes his individual struggle, but that of the external groups around him.
(3) Emotional Intelligence Works: Developing "People Smart" Strategies
This workbook aids therapists, patients, and all others how to go about "emoting with thought". We will need guidance as to how to go about knowing our feelings and then describing the resultant emotions to others. All of this while remaining 'logical' as well!!
By using these three books we can help many in society. Succinctly put, we can learn how to communicate -- with peace -- even when dealing with strong emotion in order to convey information which otherwise would be difficult to express. As some other animal species, we can also cooperate with each other to find just and peaceable goals. We must learn to work together -- for no one person has all of the answers!
What can be done and must NOT be done when practicing this therapy?:
Let it be known that I, as a participant, can work this therapy -- while still believing in 'Christian Existentialism' -- just as it is possible for you to work along side of me with your beliefs as well. In other words all of us together work as 'human helpers' in communicating with each other despite the fact that there are many different groups. The object is to recognize that we are all human and meant to help pass along the energies which come with that fact. We can be glad in variety and rejoice in diversity!
To be human in part means that with energy we pass information to each other which basically "calms us down" and aids us in sustaining the races. To paraphrase one of our founding psychologists -- Albert Ellis of the early 1900's -- "Humans have a tendency to 'disturb themselves' in their own brains when they really don't need to". So much for the 'Walking Well' -- what do the rest of us need? Most likely honest feedback and caring from others.
This has been Part 1 of this presentation of 'Emotional Cognition Theory & Treatment'. Part 2 will come at a later time.
Thank you very much,
