Stoics hold that false value-judgments are the source of pathology.
Based on the 8 features of Obsessive-Compulsive personality disorder in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorder and on John M. Oldham's and Lois B. Morris' "normalizing" of them.
The concept of personality style is broader than and includes the concepts of " personality traits", "personality type", and "temperament".
This Augustinian Enneagram is based on the Niebuhrian-Augustinian personality theory that Terry D. Cooper has outlined in Sin, Pride & Self-Acceptance.
Nines have a compulsive need to avoid tension and have peace. As a result, they unconsciously see themselves as consummate peacemakers.
An outline account of the personality theory being contemplated.
"Dostoyevsky was firmly convinced that the true sickness of man is rooted in his enormous pride. All of his great late novels center on the problem of pride and its destructive effects" - Predrag Cicovacki.
"It's very dangerous for us to have a small number of companies secretly controlling the flow of traffic and flow of information" - Jimmy Wales.
I really like this Bernard J. Paris essay on Dostoevsky's Underground Man. He uses Horneyan theory in his literary criticism and argues that, although the Underground Man also expresses aggressive and compliant trends, he is predominantly a withdrawn, or detached, type.
"He believed that a need is a potentiality or readiness to respond in a certain way under certain given circumstances… It is a noun which stands for the fact that a certain trend is apt to recur." - James Neill
Links to an undergraduate psychology course about individual differences.
Karen Horney's biographer, Jack Rubins, saw the influence of Horney's concepts on psychoanalytic theories of narcissism.
An outline of Oldham's Solitary style.
"Ellis's model is a general model that seems to reduce all of psychopathology to a few cognitive distortions and shoulds."
Albert Ellis found similarities in REBT and Judeo-Christian philosophies in their views on "self-acceptance," "other-acceptance," and "life-acceptance."
A representation of Albert Ellis' list of "some of the major illogical, irrational, and self-defeating ideas that are presently ubiquitous in Western civilization and that would seem inevitably to lead to widespread neurosis" (Ellis, 1994, pp. 106-107).
The most fundamental way in which individuals perpetuate their psychological disturbances is by failing to recognize what Ellis calls the 'three insights of REBT' (see Donald Robertson).
"The therapist is most interested in finding core beliefs and deep rooted philosophical evalutions. These are usually the causes of automatic negative inferences and higher level evaluative thoughts" (Wikipedia).
"According to Ellis, emotional and behavioral difficulties occur when humans take simple preferences (desire for love, approval, success) and turn them into dire needs" - Chris Morley.
Thomas Merton's "false self" is analogous to Karen Horney's idealized self.
"Even when we deeply value ourselves, the anxiety built into finitude will tempt us to find our source of security in some strategy rather than a trust in God" (Cooper, pg. 163).
"When anxiety has conceived it brings forth both pride and sensuality." - Reinhold Niebuhr
"The religious sense of the absolute qualifies the will-to-live and the will-to-power by bringing them under subjection to an absolute will, and by imparting transcendent value to other human beings, whose life and needs thus achieve a higher claim upon the self." - Reinhold Niebuhr
In the neurotic search for glory the neurotic "solution" is idealized (Horney, 1950, pg. 22).
"He thought that the wicked who accepted his message would share in the kingdom even though they did not do the things customary in Judaism for the atonement of sin." |
