HOW THE SZONDI PHENOMENON REVEALED THE SEXUAL UNI-TENSIONS

The sexual was emphasized in Freud's first theory of the neurosis. Is not neglected in Szondi's schema, in the overdrive of unitendency, the exaggerated identification indicates such subjects are in Szondi's view are living out  the gene passed-on inheritance of his/hers healthy and pathological ancestor or ancestors. To explore the heredity outcome of ones Sexual grounds,  in his test, Szondi used the oppositions of Female- like tenderness verses Masculine   aggressiveness. HUNGARIAN PSYCHIATRIST,  LIPOT  (LEOPOLD)  SZONDI  after many false starts, and failed  applications and repeated reinvention formed the present four vector test by 1937, in final ensemble he had the Sexual. Paroximal, Ego and Contact in an interacting system. For now we are skipping over the other three vectors to focus on the Sexual Vector andalso to look at its exaggerated form. Unitendency.  In the Sexual Vector.  he  placed the oppositions  represented by homosexuals and sadists, as the reagent photos  for the Sexual Vector. In defending this still controversial decision it can noted how well it works in in the test and its other factors and in an later developed advanced form to explain and demonstrate - 'psychological gender' vs.  anatomical gender. ( The Dur-Moll Determination ). The selection and filtering phenomenon that occurs when a subject takes the Szondi Test, closely matches the known personality and behavior characteristics, even when performed blind, knowing only the gender, age and occupation. This is empiric evidence and despite  many attempts scientific validation has had limited success. Further, so many of the interpretive concepts  are openly indebted to classical psychoanalysis, as to be automatically be rejected by those that have a anti-psychoanalysis bias.. Only in France and Belgium, significant teaching and original research continues, inspired the work of the late Jacques Schotte, whose exposition of the  Drive Positions, (PP1. PP2, PP3, PP4-these follow the course of  human mental development.) Of current teaching and research activity importance are Robert Maebe, Ken Louvet, and others. [Search-la porte szondienne- then tick -English translation] The sexual inheritance (as also, with other inheritances  can be direct, being found in the parents, grandparents or indirect as latent and  appearing after skipping several generations. Normal for Szondi is defined as a healthy mixture, of the Gene inheritance,  when otherwise the excess results in pathological  or distorted outcomes.  He points to plant inheritance studies, where a 'lethal gene' inheritance in the correct mix actually makes the plant species stronger.

OUR PSYCHOLOGICAL BASIC FORMS  INHERITED!

In the Szondi Sexual Schema, the Eros is in opposition to Sados. (Sados -a neologism for the opposite type qualities of  Eros found in sadism.) In this there are the Genetic opposition of the feminine and masculine, the biological-anatomical bases, and through latent ancestral [gene passed] inheritance level, that are prepared forms of stance and behavior potentials. Szondi points to the instinct of animals as did Freud, but takes it much further. These qualities/tendencies are set in place and manifested at certain developmental periods. In this the anatomical differences divide, women and have baby forming and nurturing features, receptive to tender love and usually take a set of female behavior rolls and identifications. Men take another, aggressive, sexually seeking, protective, as manly' identifications, this within the variations, opportunities and encouragement provided by family and society. In the case of those found with4 with  Unitendency, their excesses are explained as due to one of the sex dive factors, lacking its opposing factor, in the test jargon called, zero or null.  The Szondi logic is, that a person who makes this type of filtering choices, in the Szondi test, at that time,[it can change] had the same attitudes, preferences and behaviors that would in match such characteristics, as also afflicted the individuals in the reagent photos. In the profiles showing unitendency, it is viewed as indicating a lack of restraint from its natural genetic opposing  compliment, especially those with choices of more than 3 of the six possible, it will be become immediately apparent that the profile emerging  from the tested subject may no longer fit the socially expected or desirable as 'rolls' related  to their anatomical gender. It is not a litmus test for identifying practicing homosexuals. When analyzed, the test shows we all are a mixture of the ordinals of psychopathology, including those of gender with its known complexity of outcomes.

THE FOUR  UNIITENDENCIES  IN  THE  SEXUAL VECTOR

UNITENDENCY - The Sexual Vector  Inclinations and Perils Of  Over-Identification.or Dis-Identification.

THE UNITENDENCY OF [ h+!! s0 ] In the filtering here, the subject likes the reagent photos of the Eros/Amorousness laden homosexuals. And avoids the reagent photos of the Sadism laden murders. The filtering here would reflect an individual with an excessive need for personal tenderness,  and/or  personal amorousness, and/or marked feminine/ maternal identifications, generally passive and yielding. This unitendency form appears to us, as if they are always desiring to be loved by somebody the way they were tenderly, bodily, loved in infancy. THE UNITENDENCY OF [ h-!! S0 ] In the filtering here, the subject dislikes the reagent photos of the Eros/Amorousness laden homosexuals. And avoids the reagent photos of the sadism laden murders. The [ h-!! ]= dis-identification with whatever the [ h ] phenomenon expresses.   Believed to demonstrate a genetic inheritance in suppressed forms has to find indirect forms to manifest. The individual does not want or cannot accept the need for personal tender affection. This does not mean that such needs are lacking altogether. If the minus h is strongly loaded and persistent, it is associated with a love of humanity. Individuals with uni-tendency [ h- s0 ] often act over-masculine and may or may not accept or deny their need for passivity, or "femininity.".  They seek a kind of purified personal object relationships,  a preference for abstract forms of affection and love, such as: humanitarian love for all mankind. Cool or reserved in interpersonal contact, may show warm social or artistic attitudes. Rarely found before puberty, found with relatively highest frequency intellectual adults. THE UNITENDENCY OF [ h0 s+!! ] In the filtering here, the subject avoids the reagent photos of the Eros/Amorousness laden homosexuals. And strongly  likes the reagent photos of the sadism laden murders. Identification in this unitendency is,of one inclined to Sadism, with its masculine and aggressive components, energy and activity. Sometimes indicating the possibility of destructive or sadistic behavior or such acts may take place. Given commanding positions or aggressive pursuits they may be very successful, in frustrating situations they may turn  violent verbally or combative. Women with the identification are perceived and masculine or neurotic. Men or women with this identification may sublimate aggressive impulses in occupation choices as in athletics, police work, etc. When open physical assault breaks through uncontrolled, we hear of this in newspapers and court reports..   THE UNITENDENCY OF [ h0!! s- !!] In the filtering here, the subject avoids the reagent photos of the Eros/Amorousness laden homosexuals. And dislikes the reagent photos of the Sadism laden murders.  Characteristic of this subject are that of the passive masochistic, somewhat feminine person. Not very common before the age of ten and when found then, is a sign of disturbance of identification. This unitendency is associated with of a low level of physical activity.  This to a counter-indication of major antisocial outcomes. Some adults appear able to sublimate or re-direct the the disidentification with sadism and its aggression, into distorted forms, including psychosomatic illness.  In marriage counseling frequently, this passive partner may place his/her mate in the position of having to initiate sexual and even take charge of everyday social actions, doctor appointments etc. Often persistent self-abasement and claims of inability, may keep the mate feeling guilty, and in a depth psychology sense this may be seen as an inverted from of sadism at work. That fact that facial photos of  Psychopathology cases produce meaningful and  useful PHENOMENOLOGY,  results that reflect and match  in the most essentials determinable facts about that individual tested. This is extraordinary and deserves further study. Further it opens the question: What, if any, is the relational link between face morphology and our inherited portion of  mind and behavior. DSM IV DECLASSIFIED HOMOSEXUALITY FROM A PATHOLOGY TO A CONDITION- The only clue to Dr. Szondi's opinion on the mater is that he believed mankind passed through a period of bi-sexuality in its evolution. Also, One has a hard time arguing with what works.
