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. 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.
Cure for Tourette’s syndrome (tic disorder) and OCD without medication
§11
« Intramuscular sensation » of congenital tic,
« compulsive intramuscular sensation » of tic disorder as a neurosis.
While a tic is an innate function of Asperger with « intramuscular sensation » for the bodily repression of disagreeable physical sensations, the tic disorder is a neurosis with « compulsive intramuscular sensation » which localizes the presence of a voluntary muscle and with the obsession to the immobility of this voluntary muscle.
The goal of treatment for tic disorder is that when there are disagreeable physical sensations, for example, when the patient goes up the stairs to several floors, the « intramuscular sensation » of tic in a voluntary muscle will be without the obsession to the immobility and that when there are no disagreeable physical sensation, the « compulsive intramuscular sensation » will not appear.
After the treatment, “intramuscular sensation” appears when there is disagreeable physical sensation (such as fatigue), but this is Asperger’s congenital tic, it is not neurosis, and there is no compulsion. It is enough to become aware of the repression of the disagreeable physical sensation at this moment.
Also, of course, the patient must be aware that the neurosis is superficially a mechanism for the repression of masturbatory sensations.
In a neurosis, the congenital predisposition makes external factor etiological. The external factor cannot be the cause of the disease without congenital predisposition. The congenital predisposition cannot be the cause of the disease without external factor.
Cause of tic disorder
· Congenital predisposition (internal factor), Autism spectrum (elements of Asperger)
Particularity of judgment which recognizes an ordinary object as a disagreeable object
KV (mechanism of bodily repression)
Tendency to repression = Tendency to formation of the mass of emotion
Lack of natural abreaction = lack of expression in the Conscious for disagreeable emotion
· Experience of the everyday traumatic event (external factor)
Conservation of the hypertrophied mass of emotion.
The treatment of neurosis is the treatment of its external factor, that is emotional catharsis, since the congenital predisposition cannot be treated.
The innate « intramuscular sensation » of tic is possible in any voluntary muscles of the body. All voluntary movements are possible as a voluntary movement of tic, if it is an absurd movement for the Conscience of the patient. Therefore, there is no need to categorize a hundred tic movements, and such a list of tic movements would represent rather a lack of understanding on the subject of tic disorder structure.
Absolute Compulsion
The physical symptom of neurosis is the compulsion of the Conscious, and in the Unconscious, the existence of the pathological frame that surrounds the Conscious is the disease. The author calls this the Absolute Compulsion. The existence of the Absolute Compulsion is a conjecture of the author, a descriptive expression, and the observation of it is impossible. To facilitate the imaginative comprehension of readers, this compulsion is named as absolute because it is impossible to resist it. It is the totality. The Absolute Compulsion is a structure that surrounds transcendentally the Conscious. As a descriptive schema of the neurosis, the framework of the Absolute Compulsion is in the Unconscious, outside the Conscious. As the Conscious cannot see the cause of the Absolute Compulsion, the will power cannot resist the Absolute Compulsion.
Symptoms of neurosis = means of disease
By neurotic symptoms we mean physical symptoms. By definition, there is no neurosis without physical symptoms.
· Tic disorder : « compulsive intramuscular sensation » in a voluntary muscle, compulsion to do a muscular movement with this voluntary muscle; obsession to this voluntary muscle.
· Obsessive-compulsive disorder : physical sensation of anxiety, compulsion of verification with a bodily act ; obsession to a thing.
· Panic disorder : physical sensation of fear, compulsion to do a bodily act of escape ; obsession to the physical state under adrenaline secretion.
The « compulsive intramuscular sensation » of tic is a kind of particular physical sensation without muscular contraction, the concentration of Conscious on this voluntary muscle, the amplification of the obsession to the immobility of this voluntary muscle. The effect of the « compulsive intramuscular sensation » of tic is that it is disagreeable.
Symptom of tic disorder
The « compulsive intramuscular sensation » of tic appears in a voluntary muscle. This muscle will determine the body part of tic movement. The voluntary contraction of this voluntary muscle is a voluntary contraction that had been already known with an intentional movement. For the patient, the « compulsive intramuscular sensation » of tic implies the manner of tic movement, which has been precisely determined as an attribute. Most of the tic patients have more than two body parts with voluntary muscle obsession. Tic disorder of a patient is the symptom that manifests itself with various arbitrary localizations of the « compulsive intramuscular sensation » of tic, and it is an error to categorize the manners of tic movements. This is not only question of the definition of the word “tic”, but also it would be wrong, if the parents of children with tic disorder thought that a tic was equal to a movement, a local neurological involuntary movement, and the effect of a medication was expected as the elimination of this movement.
The reasons why tic is not considered as organic;
· A tic disorder of children is often a transient tic, which heals by itself, if the libidinal conflict is resolved.
· Sometimes tic disorder of a patient can wax and wane.
· It is possible that a new voluntary muscle obsession starts on another body part.
· During sleep, the symptom of tic disorder does not manifest itself : compulsive intramuscular sensation, voluntary muscle obsession.
· In coprolalia, the Conscious is forced to pronounce words which are embarrassing for the Conscious. Childish vulgar words.
· 30% of people who have tic disorder have also obsessive-compulsive disorder, and symmetry, number, verification and cleanliness of a thing, etc., will be the obsessional object of the Conscious. (Also, tic disorder is a kind of obsessive-compulsive disorder in which the presence of a voluntary muscle is the obsessional object.)
· As a movement with many voluntary muscles, the muscles which do a tic movement are very well grouped; for example, the tic movement of clapping hands. §12 will be the explanation about the motor unit of muscles.
A person is neither a robot nor a statue and naturally the body moves all the time in a condition of good health. Most of these natural movements are done unconsciously and it is in healthy state. On the other hand, tic movements are necessarily conscious. Especially the muscle is the object of the Conscious. Tic movement is never unconscious. For example, people who have « compulsive intramuscular sensation » of tic in the frontalis muscle also move their eyebrows naturally and unconsciously all the time, not as tic movements. Only when the muscle is the fixed object of the Conscious and the Conscious is forced to resolve the compulsion, this absurd movement is a tic movement. That is to say, a movement is healthy and natural, if it is unconscious, and an identical movement is a tic movement, if it is compulsive and the muscle is the object of the Conscious. However, in fact, the tic movements are always very unnatural movements, which are recognizable at first glance. The purpose of the combination of the « compulsive intramuscular sensation » of tic and a tic movement is to appear in the foreground of the Conscious of this person as a dominant object. Just as there is no act of obsessive compulsive disorder that is unconscious. Unconscious tic movements never exist.
Rationalization
Tic movements are always accompanied by a false motive.
