THE SEXUAL VECTOR
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 approaching the gene passed on inheritance of his/hers pathological ancestor or ancestors, represented by homosexuals and sadists, in the reagent photos of the Szondi ensemble.
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 a mixture, and he points to plant inheritance studies, where a lethal gene inheritance in the correct mix actually makes the plant species stronger.
In the Szondi Sexual Schema the Eros is in opposition to Sados. (Sados a neologism for the opposite type qualities named sadism.) In this there are the Genetic opposition of the feminine and masculine, first on a biological-anatomical bases, and through latent ancestral [gene passed] inheritance level, that are like prepared forms of stance and behavior potentials. Szondi points to the instinct of animals as did Freud, but Szondi takes it much further. These qualities/tendencies are set in place and manifested at certain developmental periods. In this, the
anatomical differences are sharply divisional, women and have baby forming and nurturing features, receptive to tender love and usually take a set of female rolls and identifications. Men take another, aggressive, sexually seeking, protective, as ‘manly' identifications, within the variations and opportunities provided by family and society.
In the case of those afflicted with 'unitendency', their excesses are explained as due to one of the sex dive factors, lacking its opposing factor, labeled as a ‘0’, zero or null, in our notation jargon.
The Szondi logic offered, is that a person who would make this type of filtering choices, in the Szondi test, at that time,[it can change] has the same attitudes, preferences and behaviors that would match such characteristics, as that which afflicted the individuals in the reagent photos. { This is the place where the objection to the Szondi Test as being unscientific, can properly raised, and its validity questioned. Often no clear answer suggests itself and the test and the complex derived theories are relegated to being empiric useful or antidotal. The decision in the end is left to
each and every student as to the validity issues.]
In those profiles showing unitendency, especially those with choices of more than 3 of the six possible,it will be become immediately apparent that the profile (in the form of a psychogram ) emerging may no longer fit the role common to their anatomical gender.
One of the major successes of the Szondi Test has been its ability to demonstrating the reality of gender states and the existence of the gender identification,that can be the same as the anatomical gender or different. These gender results [the Dur/Moll empirics]have from blind test analysis been determined to closely match the clinical history known about the tested persons gender role, and shifting roles in some cases.
It is not a ultimate litmus test for identifying practicing homosexuals. When Szondi method analyzed, the test shows we all are mixtures of the eight gene passed psychiatric conditions, including those of gender with its complexity of outcomes.
UNITENDENCY - The Sexual Vector
Inclinations and Perils Of Over-Identification.
THE UNITENDENCY OF [ h+! s0 ]
In the filtering here, the subject likes the reagent photos of the Eros/Amorness laden homosexuals. And avoids the reagent photos of the sadism laden murders. Excessive need for personal tenderness, with personal amorousness, feminine, maternal identifications. Passive tenderness and yielding. This unitendency 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/Amorness laden homosexuals. And avoids the reagent photos of the sadism laden murders.The [ h-!! ] dis-identification with whatever the [ h ] expresses and means in genetic inheritance. The individual does not want or cannot accept this need for personal tender affection. This does not mean that such needs are lacking altogether. This is particularly true if the [h] is strongly loaded as a dislike,[h-!!].
Individuals with the uni-tendency choice selection [h-! s0 ] often act oven-masculine and may accept or deny their need for yielding passivity, or reject for their own role in life most things conceived to be "feminine."
Yet a further study of such individuals as a group reveals that they also seek a kind of purified personal object relationships, that has a preference for abstract forms of affection and love, such as humanitarian love for all mankind. These who act in their erotic-personal world as reserved or detached, in their significant love object contacts, may also show warm social or artistic attitudes.
Dislike of the Szondi reagent photos [h]= homosexuals have rejected feminine strivings. The ones that dislike the Sadists [s]are rejecting masculine aggressive strivings.
For the record:
Ordinary 'average', sexuality pattern is [h+_s+]
Humanitarian gender role is [h- s-]
(Over-Feminine role is [h+ s-]
(Over- Masculine role is [h- s+]
(Mixed gender roles [the [h] and or the [s] have
choices both like and dislike, at the same time.
{h±s±], [h±s+],[h+s±] [h0s±]][h±so] etc. The point here is the next gender role and its behavioral consequences spring from strivings that are lacking a balance or controlling counterbalance. A striving un- opposed, when described provides or becomes a refined and hopefully more correct linguistic, for our study.
In the exaggerated patterns of the Uni-tendencies are a useful approach to expose both the results of the Szondi Test and building blocks a psychology aimed at understanding fellow humans.
Keep in mind here we are focusing on Szondi Heredity sphere of the Sexual, in his jargon the Vector [S].
Also we are not exploring at this time the other three Szondi heredity spheres [P](Paroximal/Emotional [Sch]( Ego/Rational), [C] (Contact/Object Bond) Each sphere having its own four uni-tendancires
Thus the four possibilities of uni-tendency in the Sexual Sphere are are:
[h0 s+]
[h0 s-]
[h+ s0]
[h- s0]
THE UNITENDENCY OF [ h0! s+ ]
In the filtering here, the subject avoids the reagent photos of the Eros/Amorness laden homosexuals. And likes the reagent photos of the sadism laden murders.Identification in this uni-tendency is inclined to Sadism, with it masculine and aggressive components, energy and activity. Sometimes indicating the possibility of destructive or sadistic behavior or acts may take place soon. Women with the same 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 manifest physical assaultive acts breaks through uncontrolled, we often hear of this in newspapers and court actions.
THE UNI-TENDENCY OF [ h0! s- ]
In the filtering here, the subject avoids the reagent photos of the Eros/Amorness laden homosexuals. And dislikes the reagent photos of the Sadism laden murders. The uni-tendency [h0 s-!](!= 4 OF 6 [s]photos DISLIKED.)
Characteristic of this would be the passive masochistic, somewhat feminine inclined person- (or at least a rejection of some masculine aggressiveness).
Not very common before the age of ten and when found then, is a sign of disturbance of identification. This uni-tendency can be an indication of a low level of physical activity. Some appear able to sublimate or re-direct the both the sadism and motor activity present, in a inverted form. For example, in scientific work and other civilizing work causes or hobbies. In marriage counseling the passive partner places mate in the position of having to initiate sexual and social actions. Persistent self-abasement may keep the mate feeling guilty, and in a depth psychology sense be seen as an inverted from of sadism at work.
