A few adjustments have been made since my last model was articulated back a month or two ago....
This model integrates a number of different variables...such as:
1. Traumacy and Fantasy Theory;
2. Classical Psychoanalysis, Object Relations, and Self-Psychology;
3. Psychoanalysis, Adlerian Psychology, Jungian Psychology, Transactional Analysis, Gestalt Theory and Therapy, Cognitive-Behavioral Theory and Therapy, Linguistic-Semantic Theory and Therapy, Self-Esteem Theory and Therapy, Humanistic-Existential Theory and Therapy (Fromm, Horney...)...
For ease of discussion, because the model is so large, let me divide the model into two workable pieces or divisions:
A. The Object-Relations-Transactional Analysis Part of The Model
Part 1: The More Conscious Elements of The Personality (Psyche, Wholistic Ego)
i) Four 'Superego Functions and Compartments or States'
1. The Nurturing (Altruistic, Caring, Loving, Giving...) Superego;
2. The Righteous-(Critical-Rejecting-Ethical-Apollonian) Superego;
3. The Pleasure-Seeking (Dionysian-Hedonistic-Narcissistic) Superego;
4. The Distancing-Rejecting (Anal-Schizoid) Superego;
ii) Four 'Underdog or Underego Functions and Compartments or States
5. The Co-operative (Compliant, Pleasing, Aproval-Seeking, Disapproval-Avoiding) Underego;
6. The Pleasure-Seeking (Dionysian-Hedonistic-Narcissistic) Underego;
7. The Righteous (Rebellious, Deconstructive, Destructive-Anarchist) Underego;
8. The Distancing (Anal-Paranoid-Schizoid, and/or Oral-Phobic) Underego.
iii) The Executive (Mediating-Conflict-Resolving-Problem-Solving) Central Ego Functions and States
09. The Sensory-Emotional-Spiritual Central Ego;
10. The Private Central Ego;
11. The Executive-Mediating-Conflict-Resolving-Problem Solving) Central Ego;
12. The Public Central Ego.
13. The Psychotherapy Room and/or The 'Sin Den', 'The Addiction Room', and/or 'The Room of Competing Life and Death Forces -- and Possible Self-Destruction;
Part 2: The More Subconscious and/or Preconscious Elements of The Personality (Psyche, Wholistic Ego)
14. The Dream, Fantasy, Creativity, and/or Nightmare-Destruction Weaver;
15. Conflated Traumacy-Transference and Transference-Fantasy Complexes;
16. The Shadow-Id-Ego Vault;
17. The Experience-Learning-Memory-Transference Template;
18. The Evolving Shadow-Id-Ego;
19. The Black Hole (The Nietzschean Abyss, Anaxamander's Apeiron, Chaos, Guntrip's Schizoid Drop or Collapse);
20. The Genetic-Biological-Hormonal-Existential Evolving Potential Self (The GPS which can and will stand for both 'The Genetic Potential Self' and 'The Greater Potential Self)
That is all I have time for right now....
Added Aug. 5, 2012....
This is a 'Multi-Bi-Polarity Model of The Personality' because both our mind and our body subscribes to the principle of 'homeostasis' or 'homeostatic-dialectic-democratic balance'.
Some of the polarities that can be found in the model above include:
1. Narcissism vs. altruism;
2. Love vs. Hate;
3. Reality and Traumacy vs. Creative, Destructive, and/or Erotic Fantasy Impulses;
4. Topdog vs. Underdog or Superego vs. Underego;
5. Approach vs. Avoidance;
6. Approval-Seeking vs. Rebellious Defiance;
7. Nurturing Caring and Encouragement vs. Critical and Rejecting Righteousness;
8. Narcissism vs. Righteousness;
9. Dionysianism (Pleasure-seeking, impulsiveness, spontaneity, lateness, disorder, chaos) vs. Apollonianism (order, organization, neatness, hygiene, punctuality, classification systems, compartmentalization, ethics, morality, accountability, responsibility...);
10. The ego vs. id;
11. Unity vs. Conflict;
12. Wholism vs. Reductionism;
13. Polar extremism (either/or, black vs. white) vs. compromising, integrating, synthesizing;
The model has a lot of interacting and/or dissociating parts attached to it -- representative to the best of my ability of the sorts of things that actually happen within the integrating and/or disintegrating, attached or detached, personality....
More to come, of course...
