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
§12
Psychic motor unit
N.B.
This section is about the movements of motor tic (including vocal tic) and coprolalia. The “acts” of obsessive-compulsive disorder and body-focused repetitive behavior (trichotillomania, onychophagia, dermatillomania, etc.) will be described in another section.
In addition, psychic motor unit in this section is defined differently than muscle group in the anatomy, (order of several muscular fibers by a neuron). For example, the psychic motor unit to raise the hand does not correspond injectively to the deltoid muscle. A tic disorder is a neurosis of which obsession is the presence of a voluntary muscle, but such a voluntary muscle is not necessarily “one” voluntary muscle from an anatomical point of view.
99% of voluntary movements are not done consciously. Moreover, even for a conscious voluntary movement, the movement of each one of the several muscles is not an object of the Conscious. For example, when we’re going down the stairs, the movement of each one of the several leg muscles is not directly an object of the Conscious. Otherwise, the descent would not be possible. For a writing, the movement of writing is conscious, but the movement of each one of several muscles is not a direct object of the Conscious. Furthermore, even the persons who have a neck tic, perhaps most of them don’t know exactly the complex configuration of the neck muscles. While the tic movements are movements, which are aiming at a muscle, this muscle is not a muscle that is anatomically defined, but as a localized position of sensation. We need to define more precisely the idea of a voluntary movement to a voluntary muscle.
The voluntary of a tic movement is a voluntary contraction of the muscle for the elimination of the disagreeable sensation in that voluntary muscle, and the tic movement of the muscle on a joint is not accompanied by its antagonist. The Conscious starts a movement with a voluntary contraction of the muscle and stops it with an instant voluntary stiffening of this muscle. The movement of tic is a voluntary stiffening of muscle with a precise movement. The tic movements of the muscles that are not on a joint (abdominals, nose, forehead, etc.) and the tic movements of the muscles on a joint (arm, shoulder, etc..) have no difference, inasmuch as they are without the functioning of the antagonist.
The Libido is the body in the neurotic Unconscious; The libido has the pleasure principle. Since the Libido does not know the anatomy, a group of voluntary muscles of a voluntary movement becomes a unit of voluntary muscles for the Libido. The voluntary movements with muscles which are an object of the Conscious can be the norms for localization and sectionalization of groups of voluntary muscles. The group of voluntary muscles has already been located and sectionalized as the presence of a motor unit. Since the movement of tic is a voluntary movement, the « compulsive intramuscular sensation » of tic disorder can appear in a unit of several muscles, rather than in a muscle which has been anatomically divided and named. The « compulsive intramuscular sensation» of tic disorder on the axis of symmetry of the body, such as that of a nose tic, appears without separation of the voluntary muscles of the left side and the right side. Different from dystonia and spasm, un tic movement is not an involuntary movement of a muscle. The tic movement, which is determined by a unit of muscles, corresponds to the « compulsive intramuscular sensation » of tic disorder. The determined speed of the tic movement cannot be substituted by another speed. The tic movements with several muscles, such as coprolalia, tic of spitting on someone, etc., are possible, because the Libido does not know the anatomy. For the Libido, “one muscle” can be a group of several anatomical muscles.
The mass of emotion is preserved by blocking the Conscious. Only emotional catharsis can be healing.
A ridiculous obsession dominates the foreground of Conscious.
The function of physical obsession is the repression of three categories of physical sensations.
– primitive repressed sensations, §26; repression of libidinal and masturbatory sensations, (i.e., repression of genital sensations inside the underwear)
– indefinite repressed sensations, §27; repression of general discomforts such as fatigue, pain, etc.
– recursive repressed sensations, §28; repression of the compulsive intramuscular sensation itself
The « compulsive intramuscular sensation» of tic disorder that appears in the unit of the muscles for the pronunciation of a word makes coprolalia. For coprolalia, from the diaphragm to the lips, many muscles make an unit, and it’s not complicated for the Libido at all. The pronunciation of the word “xxxx” is an extremely easy voluntary movement, that even birds can do. The « compulsive intramuscular sensation» of tic disorder cannot appear in the diaphragm, and the diaphragm is often used for a tic movement, of which the « compulsive intramuscular sensation» of tic disorder appears in muscles of the upper respiratory tract. There is no tic movement by the diaphragm alone.
This is coherent with the fact that dystonia is involuntary. While the « compulsive intramuscular sensation» of tic disorder is a sensation of muscular contraction without muscular contraction, dystonia is an involuntary muscle contraction. Muscle contraction of dystonia appears irrelevantly to the psychic motor units.
