What is neurosis? What causes it? In short, mental conflict. Unlike animals, us humans are brought up in environments that don’t let us fully develop our instincts. This causes many children distress that they cannot bear, so they develop defense mechanisms to cope. These very same strategies end up hindering said children once they are adults. The Psychoanalytic Theory of Neurosis outlines many of these mechanisms. Be warned. This book is very academic. It is not written for laypeople to understand.

What is the origin of psychological pathologies? Why do so many people have defective thinking? Trauma trapped in the muscles. Literally. If stressful childhood experiences are not properly resolved, then the physical body will respond by restricting the muscles and fascia to repress the pain. The constriction distorts the thinking. Again, literally. There are seven major regions of the body that are looked at in Man in the Trap – ocular, oral, cervical, thoracic, diaphragmatic, abdominal, and pelvic.

How does one assess someone’s character? By what the person tells you? No. Words can deceive. Snakes lie. You examine their muscles, breathing, gait, expressions, and mannerisms. How are mental deficiencies cured? By correcting the body and training it to tolerate energy. This is what the renowned Sigmund Freud ignored. He failed to cure his patients. The ultimate goal of character analysis is to transform a “neurotic character” into a “reality-based character” by working with the mind and body. The “reality-based character” functions more effectively in both work and love.

This book talks about the relationship between the body and personality. One’s physical body provides many clues about their personality. These are the personality types mentioned – the depressed oral character, the submissive masochist, the hysterical hysteric, the Don Juan phallic, the stiff compulsive, the outwardly polite passive feminine man, the tough masculine aggressive woman, the detached schizoid character, and the crazy schizophrenic. Plot twist: the healthy personality doesn’t have any of the character structures mentioned above. But well under 1% of people on this planet are healthy. Most people fit into one or two of the structures.

Featured in: Integrate the Shadow

Many psychologists and philosophers have talked about integrating the shadow. Why not just raise a child to be integrated? Children are often taught rules and attitudes that prevent them from reaching their potential as humans. Their parents fail to protect their natural sense of self-agency. This leads to societies full of people that have forgotten how to take responsibility for their lives. They let life happen to them instead of taking command of their lives.

This is a case study of an individual who went to a Reichian therapist due to being unsatisfied with his life. The name of the individual is the author of the book – Orson Bean. Reichian therapy is a body-based form of therapy. This anecdote showcases the advantage of working with the body to resolve the issues of the mind. Freudian psychoanalysis, or traditional talk therapy, focuses only on the mind. This is why Sigmund Freud failed to cure his patients even if he helped them gain insights about their dilemmas. After several sessions and a little more than two years, the flow of orgone (libido) improved across Bean’s body. This allowed him to experience love in a more meaningful way than before.

Is one born a schizophrenic? Is the disorder genetic? No. The child is trained to be a schizophrenic. A schizophrenic was simply an ordinary child that was trapped in an extraordinarily abusive family situation. This abuse is emotional. It is also often subtle. The child simply responded to the defective relational/communication styles of the parents.
