Welcome to Strangeness !
The articles on this site are divided into two parts.
First
part
I present my ideas on emotion and
on the process of abreaction. 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 a sufficient level of awareness has been developed. Once
this identification is accomplished, the process of abreaction
can then be detected and analysed. The pivotal role of anxiety
within the subconscious mind can then be understood.
Second
part
These articles depends on the
ideas put forward in the first part. I apply these ideas to an
exploration of the emotional dynamics that underlie many fields
of individual and social activities. This exploration often opens
new avenues for understanding old problems. Most articles in this
section range between sexuality, bonding, confusion, morality and
ethics, spirituality and faith, relationships and partnerships,
and idealism.
In addition, these ideas have major relevance to all forms of psycho-therapy, whether cognitive, Freudian psychoanalysis, Rogerian counselling, etc.
