The Kuriki method (the first edition in 2007) is a theory about Tourette’s syndrome (tic disorder) and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder to cure these diseases without medication. This theory is based on the author’s inference and interpretation regarding the structure of these diseases. Since it has been written for the psychoanalysts, reading will be difficult for people in general and it might be sometimes read erroneously. Therefore the Kuriki method must presuppose that the patient is treated by a nearby psychoanalyst, and that, between the patient and the Kuriki method, there is always the psychoanalyst. In the broad spectrum of autism spectrum disorders, for some patients, the disappearance of a neurotic bodily symptom can be harmful to their fragile psychological balance. The explosion of emotional catharsis, which has strong repercussions, is done only for three seconds, once a week: beyond this rhythm, it would be an accident caused by negligence, and the psychoanalyst who is inexperienced in emotional catharsis must take responsibility for the temporary mental collapse caused by the accident. Also, to the patient who has weak capacity of logical reasoning, the psychoanalyst must explain well on the violent emotion of revenge caused by the illusory confusion between the person of the traumatic image in his head and the person in the real world.
Theory for curing Tourette’s syndrome (tic disorder) and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder without medication ;
Summary
The Kuriki method in outline.
The theory was written in 50 sections that will give an idea of the amount to read and the pace of reflection of each of the patients. The Kuriki method is a theory aimed at curing tic disorder and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. The majority of its description focuses on tic disorder. Given the similarities between tic disorder and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, these diseases should be treated in the same way, as identical mechanisms.
After the diagnosis, in the treatment of a tic disorder, the doctor must be completely indifferent to the patient’s manners of tic. The tic movement is a decoy that is an element in the mechanism of bodily repression, and the doctor must not be caught in the trap. Similarly, in Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, the doctor must be completely indifferent to the symptoms, which have no other essential meaning than childishness and absurdity. Though the lower layer of neurosis, the cause of neurosis, is very simple, but various symptoms appear randomly as the upper layer of neurosis in order to preserve it. The patient may have a shoulder tic, an obsession with washing their hands, onychophagia, hoarding disorder, etc., as a categorization of symptoms, but all these symptoms are completely meaningless and are not subjects of investigation. People who do not understand what neurosis is tend to categorize the symptoms. It’s like categorizing the qualities of milk according to the shapes that the milk takes in a bottle, by saying that the milk in a bottle has the shape of that bottle.
Tic movements are 100% voluntary movements.
Tic movements are the most conscious of all voluntary movements, as the patient makes a tic movement each time reluctantly, being obliged to do it, and each time, he is even conscious of the location of the muscle of this movement.
Respiration is a voluntary and automatic movement, and it is generally not conscious. Unlike dolphins, our breathing continues during sleep. Tic movements are voluntary and extremely conscious. Tic movements are impossible during sleep.
The symptom of a nervous tic is an obsession with the intramuscular physical sensation; a compulsion that absolutely forces the Conscious to make a voluntary movement. It is a rudimentary mistake to consider the tic movements as involuntary movements. It is worrying to note that there are doctors who do not know that tic movements are voluntary movements, and others who do not even know the definitions of healthy voluntary movement and healthy involuntary movement. In such a situation, it would be bad luck for the patient.
The same treatment is effective for tic disorder and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder: that is emotional catharsis with an explosion of three seconds, once a week. Emotional catharsis is done little by little, during at least three months. The search for traumatic images is a necessary preparation, but healing is done by weekly emotional explosions. The problem is the strong hermeticity of the bodily repression of emotions between the Conscious and the Unconscious, which is often considered one of the symptoms of the autistic spectrum. In the theory of the Kuriki method, considering the specific structure of physical sensations and physical emotions of Asperger’s as the organic predisposition to tic disorder and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, these diseases are interpreted as the neurosis of people who have Autism Spectrum Disorder.
While the compulsivity of tic disorder and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder can be eliminated by explosions of emotional catharsis, autism spectrum is a congenital area, which is not an object of treatment. On the contrary, especially being Asperger can be honorable as persons who create the culture. For a diagnosis of tic disorder and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, it is necessary to know if there is, among close relatives, someone who has a learning disability or someone who has extreme ease at school.
As the treatment of tic disorder and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder consists of understanding and inference on the structure of the disease and explosions of emotional catharsis of three seconds, once a week, it will be a long-term treatment. Although the author wrote three months as the duration of treatment, slowness of treatment can ensure safety as avoiding temporary feeling of anxiety which can follow an emotional catharsis that is too strong.
For a tic disorder, it is not suddenly after three months the disagreeable sensation of the « compulsive intramuscular sensation » of tic disorder and the Absolute Compulsion to do the tic movement disappear, but already the day when the understanding of the patient about this method, i.e., the understanding of the patient about the structure of tic disorder starts to go in the right direction and the day of the first explosion of emotional catharsis, his symptoms of tic disorder, compulsion, start to progressively disappear. Apart from the question of individual differences between patients, suppose that the patient discovers the vague direction of search for the traumatic image two weeks after the explanation by the psychoanalyst about « disagreeable intramuscular sensation » of tic as a mechanism of suppression for physical discomfort (muscular fatigue of the legs, pain of the stomach, etc., etc.), it can be counted three months with ten weekly sessions of three seconds explosion as emotional catharsis.
If the understanding of the patient about this method is in the good direction, the patient will know the beginning of the disappearance of the symptom of tic disorder immediately after the first session of emotional catharsis. Being happy with this result, the patient wants to make a big explosion of emotional catharsis, therefore, in order to avoid transient anxiety, the role of brake of the psychoanalyst is indispensable.
The psychoanalyst explains to the patient the distinction between the virtual personage of the traumatic image in childish illusion and the real person, since, if the patient does not make enough affective reflection, “the bad person” of the infantile traumatic image and the actual person can be superficially confused. The psychoanalyst teaches the patient that the treatment for neurosis should be done with joy. The cause of neurosis is not the content of the trauma, but the individual tendency to the formation of the mass of emotion, the narrowness of threshold for emotional expression in the Conscious, the volume of the hypertrophied mass of emotion, corporeality of repression. The patient should not take his revenge on the « bad person » of the traumatic image in the real world by resorting to violence. In order to avoid a stupid crime of revenge committed by the patient who confuses his very disagreeable emotion and the real world at the time of the discovery of the traumatic image, the mechanism of neurosis must be objectified by the patient’s intelligence, and that is essential as a task of the psychoanalyst. Hasty explosions of anger may exceed reason.
The lower layer of neurosis.
Even the things that are normally considered very trivial in everyday life can be sufficiently traumatic for a child who has an Asperger element. A libidinal trauma is not necessarily an abuse that is sexual, criminal or dramatic, etc. For example, there are children who do not like at all that an adult person touches them on the head. For certain children, the sensation of the genitals inside underwear can be an embarrassing object. Children with Tourette’s syndrome have congenitally strong repression and often judgements of an intuitively very disagreeable object at the libidinal level is not expressed in the Conscious. The libidinal level is, in the schematic structure of neurosis, the intersection of the Unconscious and the genitals; the part where the lower layer and the upper layer of neurosis join. The image that hides the very disagreeable emotion behind it is a traumatic image and will remain in the memory among ordinary images. Whatever it is, something repeated every day, of which disagreeable libidinal emotion is repressed, accumulated and hypertrophied in a huge mass of emotion, will be the trauma for the patient.
Behavior of Asperger
· Say a pun that has come to mind.
· Prefer to be alone.
. Give a special name to his favorite personages and animals.
· Everyday, wear the same clothes, eat the same foods.
· For an interesting thing, focusing on work, reach the pro level.
· Not making eye contact with the other person.
· Not understanding other people’s feelings.
etc.
Asperger elements as congenital predisposition to tic disorder and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
· Having specific bodily sensation, (ASMR, etc.).
· Disagreeable judgments are not easily expressed in the Conscious as disagreeable emotion.
etc.
Just as the symptomatic treatment of diet to the innate predisposition to obesity, the symptomatic treatment of elimination of compulsivity by weekly explosions of emotional catharsis can be effective for Asperger’s innate predisposition to tic disorder.
Results of treatment.
After the slow emotional catharsis,
– The tic that represses disagreeable physical sensations (such as fatigue) will no longer be compulsive.
– The tic that represses genital sensations will disappear.
The lower layer of neurosis.
A nervous tic is an obsession with the physical sensation of the positional presence of a voluntary muscle. On the other hand, for a tic disorder or an Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, the lower layer is the same: i.e., in order to preserve the lower layer, the Unconscious uses highly conscious symptoms (the upper layer, KV) such as tic disorder, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, etc. The bodily repression function gives compulsivity to the KV, which is innate.
In the Kuriki method, the intentional explosion of emotional catharsis is the treatment of the lower layer: all the treatment of tic disorder and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder is the treatment of the lower layer, and the word “treatment of the upper layer” would not make any sense. After the treatment of the lower layer (mass of emotion), the upper layer (symptoms of tic disorder, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, etc. obsessions) will not need to appear compulsively in the Conscious, because there will be nothing to hide from the eyes of the Conscious. Once diagnosed, for the treatment of a tic disorder or an Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, the doctor should be totally indifferent to the manner of the symptom of the patient: everything meaningless, everything absurd can become a behavior of neurosis. The upper layer, i.e., the symptoms of each patient are arbitrarily and randomly determined by the Unconscious, regardless of the content of the trauma in the lower layer. The search for the traumatic image of a patient should not refer to his neurotic symptoms. Freudian research on the significance of the patient’s neurotic act is useless. After the discovery of the traumatic image, the treatment consists of explosions of the emotion hidden behind the traumatic image, once a week, only three seconds: gradual quantitative reduction of the mass of emotion with emotional catharsis, which is done every week on the same traumatic image.
The Kuriki method is not a treatment for depression. When an explosion of emotional catharsis has been too strong, it is possible to have transient feeling of anxiety: a neurotic patient with depression requires sufficient precautions.
KV (körperliche Verdrängung, bodily repression)
KV is a congenital mechanism of repression. The implementation of KV manifests itself in various manners.
Each manner is not congenital and can often transform into another manner.
When KV functions with genital sensation as the object of bodily repression, it constitutes the upper layer of neurosis.
One manner of KV consists of the combination of an obsession, a specific physical sensation, and a compulsive action to resolve this sensation.
Tic disorder: presence of a voluntary muscle + unpleasant sensation in that muscle + a conscious voluntary movement.
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder: presence of an object + unpleasant adrenergic physical sensation + a conscious action.
The implementation of KV is always bodily, it is a mechanism of repression that diverts the intentionality of the Conscious from a disagreeable physical sensation. Indefinite bodily sensations (tired legs, pain in the lower back, cold temperature in winter, etc.) and primitive bodily sensations (genitals, anus, etc.) will be repressed.
The upper layer of tic disorder
The tic movement is a 100% voluntary movement, highly conscious, compelled by the Absolute Compulsion to resolve the amplification of disagreeable bodily sensation in a voluntary muscle with the obsession for the thought of muscle immobility. This physical sensation is the « compulsive intramuscular sensation » of tic disorder.
The upper layer of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
The « compulsive physical sensation » of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder is a physical sensation of anxiety, and the compulsion to do an act to resolve the obsession of the state of of a thing amplifies itself in the Conscious.
The symptoms of neurosis are products of the pathological structure, which has weird elements which are not found in a healthy structure. The pathological structure might be intelligible only to a small number of intelligent persons who understand logically these bizarre descriptions. Or perhaps, when you understand even one section, you will clearly understand the whole idea of this method. The difficulty in reading and in understanding is a personal problem of the reader.
Since there is unconscious resistance, the Kuriki method will be effective for patients who do not want to read it.
Panic disorder
Panic disorder is the amplification of fear of “the body that has fear”, fear of fear that changes the body condition with adrenaline. While the « compulsive intramuscular sensation » of tic disorder (musclular sensation of immobility : the “extremely” low tension in a voluntary muscle by the Unconscious) and the « compulsive physical sensation » of TOC (cutaneous sensation, etc.) are abnormal sensation of Asperger, panic disorder occurs with real effects of adrenaline.
Cure for panic disorder, phobia, without medication
Rationalization for the formation of an obsession
In the Kuriki method, the pathological unconscious function of selecting randomly, like a roulette, a symptom (a manner) of neurosis is called “rationalization”. For tic disorder, as a movement to “verify” the mobility of a muscle or a joint, for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, as an act of a “good” child, for coprolalie, as a childish word that children say “without malice”, etc., an irrational movement or act is accompanied by a false motive that justifies it.
A symptom will be selected according to the facility of a ridiculous and childish justification. It is the possibility of rationalization that determines the patient’s symptom.
A movement or act which can easily have a false childish motive will be selected by the patient’s Unconscious as his symptom.
This rationalization is one of the main ideas of the Kuriki method, which is a theory of the structure of tic disorder and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. This rationalization is different from the rationalization in the Freudian theory, “act as expression of meaning” and “rationalization as concealment of the true motive,” and the order is reversed.
A movement of tic disorder or an act of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder is extremely conscious. A conscious movement or act is always accompanied by a whatever motif. For example, a false motive, such as “because cutting fingernails is one of the good acts of a good child and because there is no nail clipper here”, justifies to bite nails, and onychophagia (disorder of habit and impulse) will be selected as a compulsive act in the Unconscious of the patient. Or the false motive can be; “Because biting is faster than a nail clipper”, etc. For example, when a false motive of onychophagia is more easily justifiable than trichotillomania with a false motive such as “because there are lots of hair”, onychophagia will be selected by the Unconscious as a compulsive act of the patient.
(Whereas in Freudian rationalization a false motive appears in the Conscious as a pretext after the act which unconsciously represents the content of the trauma, in the rationalization of the Kuriki method the facility of a false motive precedes the selection of the act.)
“Because there is no nail clipper.”; if this false motive is easy, the hysterical Unconscious will choose onychophagia as a symptom. A compulsive act of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder or a manner of tic movement, which is randomly selected by rationalization, has no relation to the content of the trauma of the patient. The real motive of an obsessive symptom is to divert the intentionality of Conscious from a disagreeable object (disagreeable physical sensation, genitals, traumatic image): it is repression. All voluntary movements can randomly be a tic movement. Classification of tic movements reveals a lack of understanding on tic disorder. None of the tic movements of a patient has meaning in the diagnosis. Similarly, all infantile acts can be randomly an act of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, and the classification of acts is meaningless and useless.
Rationalization is one of the attributes of neurosis, and it is not the root cause of the compulsivity.
Fixation to the anal stage
Anal stage = period between the ages of 2, 3, and 4. Diapers are no longer necessary, and the Superego has not yet formed.
In rationalization of un patient aged 5 years and over, an absurd act of a child under four years old has justifiability as a small child, and the absurdity is allowed to easily interfere in the intentionality of the Conscious.
Irrational acts such as lining things up or counting things in Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, childish words in coprolalia, etc.
The sensation and compulsion of tic may be an imitation of defecation.
Absurdity
A childish act naturally has absurdity, in addition, absurdity makes the intentionality of the Conscious point the object in the Conscious of the patient. Besides the absurd acts of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, the necessity of speed of a tic movement, the necessity of loudness of coprolalie, the necessity of cracking sound of an articulation tic, etc., the absurd necessity interferes in the reason of the Conscious of the patient, and thus, a symptom of neurosis will be a means of repression.
The upper layer represses the lower layer; the double structure of the pathological repression.
Inside the upper layer, the symptoms repress disagreeable bodily sensations (leg fatigue, cold winter temperature, low back pain, etc.) or primitive bodily sensations (genitals, anus, etc.). The upper layer is a mechanism of bodily repression, and in the theory of the Kuriki method, each one of the neurotic obsessions is generally considered as a KV (bodily repression) which has compulsivity. The neurotic KV can be, for example, the upper layer of a shoulder tic disorder or the upper layer of an Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder of hand-washing, etc. The KV can have more than one neurotic obsession.
A patient congenitally has his KV. Often people with Asperger may have the sensory structure of KV, which can be the congenital predisposition to physical symptoms of neurosis.
The presence of the upper layer, i.e., the presence of a disease, represses the presence of the lower layer (the mass of traumatic emotion).
Asperger’s syndrome (deficiency in emotional expression) results in the repression of the genitals libidinal sensations.
The neurotic symptom (bodily compulsion) is a mechanism of repression.
The hypertrophy of an emotional mass (freezing of disagreeable emotions) makes KV more compulsive.
The pathological energy that produces symptoms of neurosis is not the energy of the repressed emotion, but the force of the repression function. The symptom of neurosis is a mechanism of repression. The force of the compulsion is the force of the repression, i.e., the necessity of the repression.
Cure for tic disorder and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder;
(1) Frequent awareness of disagreeable bodily sensations, which are repressed by the « compulsive intramuscular sensation » of tic disorder and the « compulsive physical sensation » of OCD. The image of the trauma will be found automatically in the following weeks.
(2) The emotional catharsis will provide, in the Conscious, a means of expression to the unexpressed traumatic emotion. Big explosions of catharsis are prohibited. A treatment takes three months.
The expected result of the treatment: the implementation of the patient’s KV loses these three elements.
– Obsession with a voluntary muscle or a thing.
– Compulsive intramuscular sensation or compulsive physical sensation.
– Compulsion to do a movement or an act.
