Emotions : what they are and how to identify them.
The
new ideas
on
this website explore the roles of
emotions and subconscious beliefs
in
character
development,
and in
the
generation of mental confusion.
The
world of
emotion is a strange world, and the key which unlocks
its meaning
is psycho-dynamic psychology.
Welcome
to a World of Strangeness
There are two principal sets of articles on this site, one set on emotion (in three parts) and the other set on the process of abreaction (in five parts).
I use a traditional model of consciousness, which I bring up to date in order to enable me to define what an emotion is. Then I show how to identify emotions. Once this identification is accomplished, the process of abreaction can then be detected and analysed. Abreaction is a major source of the confusion and conflict of everyday life. In addition, it complicates psycho-therapy.
These two sets of articles are the basis of the other articles on dynamic psychology (or depth psychology). I describe the characteristics and process of psycho-analysis, along with some methods used to attain character transformation. In addition, I explore the patterns and roots of personal identity.
Come and join in the exploration of self and strangeness.

The three articles on emotion and the five articles on abreaction are all long articles. On my website World of Emotion, they are split up into much smaller page sizes in order to make them easier to read and digest. See Links page for the address.
This site was put on the internet in Spring 2002.
