Treatment of stuttering
The description of this therapeutic theory supposes only psychoanalysts with a medical license as readers. Actually, this is a therapeutic theory that has been developed for other diseases, and this theory has no description on stuttering. There is always the question of whether it is a correct therapeutic theory also for stuttering. The validity for the treatment of stuttering of this theory has not been clinically established yet. Readers do not need to be convinced of the validity of this theory, nor do they need to decide, before reading, true or false about the effectiveness as a treatment for stuttering.
One uniform approach
As long as the human mind is in question, a psychoanalytic theory is only a hypothesis made by inductive reasoning, and it must not be deductive in an uniform way. Essentially, each patient is a special case and a new attempt at psychoanalytic treatment. The author does not say that this therapeutic theory is a theory that heals infallibly all the patients with stuttering. Indeed, this is mental treatment, very personal question of each patient. Just like the chess game that can proceed in countless ways, for the treatment of each one of the patients, a single uniform approach will not be adopted.
Readers in general
In contrast to drug treatments, this treatment requires the patients to understand the psychoanalytic way of thinking, while their understanding in this domain is uncertain and therefore the procedure of the treatment will be risky with their misunderstanding. This is a clear theory for the author, but as this theory requires contemplation on the corporality in the neurosis, readers in general, who do not have the habit of learning something more than 10 minutes, must know that this theory can not be easily understood in 10 minutes. Especially those who have never studied science (engineering, electricity, infinitesimal calculus, etc.) only want to understand everything in 10 minutes. They do not have gradual understanding. Readers who can not build the structure of a theory in their head by their own reasoning, and who can read easy books only, can not read this theory. With the correct understanding of the psychoanalyst regarding the individuality of each patient with stuttering, each case will be clinically and individually examined.
Neurotic patient
Repression is a healthy function, but if the mechanism of repression is bodily, this mechanism will disturb the activities of Conscious in everyday life. Moreover, the very existence of the mechanism will be the incessant object of the Conscious.
The author does not know if each one of the readers has the accumulation of repressed disagreeable emotion. Moreover, the accumulation of disagreeable emotion being repressed, a patient is not conscious of it. A patient with neurosis does not say; “There was something very disagreeable repeated every day.”
In addition, the Unconscious hides the structure of neurosis, and unconscious “resistance” occurs as the Conscious progresses toward the understanding of the structure of neurosis, as the structure of neurosis is going to be brought to light.
Treatment of stuttering
Although the repression is a healthy function, some people congenitally have function of repression “with bodily mechanism”. For them, when the object of repression is disagreeable libidinal emotion, permanent repression is necessary all day long, and the bodily repression will be the permanent object of the Conscious. The absolutely compulsive bodily symptom of neurosis is a means of repression. The treatment will be done by abreaction of the disagreeable libidinal emotion. It is not the abreaction of the image or the person in an event repeated every day, but the abreaction of the disagreeable libidinal emotion that has not been clearly conscious. It seems that stuttering is not permanent all day long, because stuttering appears only when the patient is speaking. Metaphorically speaking, the hedge between two gardens is an obstacle only when someone crosses it. In fact, the hedge exists permanently.
Stuttering is a voluntary movement
The symptoms of neurosis appear as bodily compulsion such as sensation and act. Each one of the compulsive movements of neurosis is a voluntary movement. Stuttering is a voluntary movement. Those who have not studied neurology do not know medically the definition of voluntary movement and therefore can not understand that stuttering is a voluntary movement. Stuttering is not the sound that has passed the throat after the blockage in the emission of voice. Stuttering is the blockage in the emission of words. A mocker can very easily mimic this voluntary movement of the blockage by voluntary muscles. If stuttering ware an involuntary movement, imitation would be impossible. Stuttering is a mechanism in the Absolute Compulsion of Neurosis, mechanism of pathological bodily repression. Its force absolutely dominates the Conscious.
The cause of stuttering, as an option in the Unconscious.
The symptoms of neurosis are bodily symptoms, and all voluntary movements can be a symptom of neurosis. A disease called “stuttering” exists on the premise that stuttering is a voluntary movement. Either true stuttering or imitation, everyone can stutter. The blockage of pronunciation, which is an easy voluntary movement, will be selected by Unconscious as a symptom of neurosis. The patients of stuttering are forced to stutter by the Unconscious, because they can stutter. Therefore, the treatment of stuttering must be done not in the domain of pronunciation movement, but in the domain of the abreaction. Of course, the author writes knowing that many readers will not understand this.
Individuality in this treatment.
Only psychoanalysts can be supposed to be readers of this theory of treatment. This theory of neurosis can not be understood by patients. In view of the risks involved in treatment, the author assumes only limited readers. The patients who do not have ability to read about neurosis are not supposed to be readers. However, healing implies that the patient understands the structure of neurosis. Understanding of the independence of the Unconscious, the understanding of the bodily mechanism of pathological repression and quantitative understanding of abreaction. The treatment takes a long time, but once the orientation of healing, namely the image and the quantity of the explosion for abreaction, has been established with certainty, the patient will no longer need the help of his psychoanalyst. Thus, the psychoanalyst must explain to the patient about neurosis, but although psychoanalysis is a treatment for neurosis, it is unfortunately true that some psychoanalysts do not know what neurosis is. There are even psychoanalysts who do not know the distinction between voluntary movements and involuntary movements. Psychoanalysts who have trouble understanding abstract descriptions of mental structure should not read the descriptions of this theory. For example, regarding the description of the fact that stuttering is a voluntary movement, psychoanalysts who immediately begin an immature objection do not have competence to read this theory. Given the danger caused by ignorance and the responsibility of the author, psychoanalysts who do not know the physicality of neurosis should not read this theory.
Danger.
This “danger” of which the author speaks here is that of the abreaction that ignorant psychoanalysts imagine is often too strong. A shock too strong of abreaction provokes a transient state of anxiety.
The description has a total of 50 sections, all of which can be viewed freely. Click here for the table of contents.
As the description is written for other neuroses, readers who begin to read as treatment for stuttering should first read Section 50.
Prerequisites for the treatment of neurosis
· The patients must understand that the domain of the Unconscious is quite beyond the perception of the Conscious.
· The intelligence for inferences on the relationship between the Unconscious and the genitals.
· In most of the cases, the person who is responsible for the sexual trauma is a person of illusion in the head of a small child.
The person of illusion should not be confused with the real person. This distinction requires the intelligence of the patient.
· Understand the bodily compulsivity.
· Understand that stuttering is a voluntary movement.
To understand these things, the readers need time to study, but most patients are not used to taking time to understand theoretical ideas. While the author writes the cause of stuttering as “because everyone can stutter”, the meaning can not be understood by patients in general, and they only end up laughing. Given the risk of misinterpretation, the author does not want the patients to be direct readers of the descriptions of this theory.
