More DescriptionThis book is a compilation of original foundational theories formulated over Dr. Kellerman?s more than fifty-year career, first as psychologist, then as psychoanalyst. Some of these theories were published in other sources reflecting phenomena both in the natural and social sciences.
Included in theories of the social sciences are: the nightmare and its relation to personality; group structural analysis in relation to the shape/space of the group; revealing a code to unravel psychological symptoms; a treatise on a psycho/evolutionary perspective to the issue of God; and a theory of the basic algorithms of unconscious communication. Included in theories of the natural sciences are: possible ameliorative effects of vibration to the body cavities on Parkinsonian tremor symptoms, with implications for the revitalization of dopamine; and, a theoretical connection of basic emotions to DNA.
Although at first glance these seven presentations may seem disparate in content, nevertheless one may find an underlying thematic strand ? regarding a particular basic emotion ? winding its way through all seven contributions. Therefore, this volume reflects another facet, another portrayal of the consilience ? the unity ? of natural and social sciences.
Part 1. The structure of Nightmares: Relation to levels of personality.
Part 2. Shapes of universes: Transformational shape of a diagnostically ideally composed group.
Part 3. The basic emotions of DNA: An epigenetic bridge to the social sciences.
Part 4. The code to unravel psychological symptoms: The 4 steps.
Part 5. Early Parkinson?s disease and symptoms: References also to tardive dyskinesia, Tourette syndrome, and spasmodic dysphonia: An epigenetic theory of vocal-psycho/biological connection.
Part 6. The discovery of God: A psycho/evolutionary perspective.
Part 7. Unconscious communication: Its algorithm.
