Description

Creativity & Power Management: A Concise Program of Emotional EducationPART TWO. The Psychoeducational Delivery of the Conflict Analysis Battery: A Didactic, Diagnostic and Therapeutic Self-Assessment This book of case studies illustrates a new theory, the Formal Theory, and a new therapy, Creativity and Power Management, as a concise program of emotional education utilizing the Conflict Analysis Battery and the simple scientific principles of the Formal Theory. The theory radically changes the way we conceptualize the unconscious, integrating psychology and morality by placing them on the scientific study of the creative process. It unifies the disciplines of psychology: epistemology, diagnoses, assessment, therapy, and morality through the study of the process as a universal harmonic, the six-role conflict resolution periodic phenomenon. Power Management diagnoses relational modalities, wellness diagnoses, which entail understanding emotions as generated by behaviors, hence correcting unpleasant emotions, symptoms, by making the appropriate behavioral or relational changes. Conflict Analysis Battery, the self-assessment instrument, helps the test takers to identify their relational pattern and to connect emotions and behaviors thus understanding a cause effect psychodynamic order, as readily identifiable and as liable to changes through appropriate power management initiatives. The case studies illustrate how submissiveness is adjusted by assertiveness and dominance by self-restraint and admission of vulnerabilities. The effectiveness of the program is demonstrated in three types of delivery: clinical, educational and online. The program's simplicity has allowed its introduction as an emotional education into the classroom, therapy, and the training of the well public.

About the Author

Levis, born in Athens, Greece in 1937 dedicated his life to understand the logic behind his childhood experiences of WWII, the Holocaust, and the Communist civil war in Athens, Greece. His research began by identifying a pattern that is repeated five times in the Greek Cosmogony. In it he detected a universal dialectic of six emotions leading predictably to alternative types of conflict resolution. He explained this pattern as reflecting the unconscious spelled by two scientific phenomena: the equilibrial trays of a scale identifying alternative relational directions: opposites and reciprocals, transforming conflict energy to a stable state along three pendulum oscillations manifested in the dialectic of six formally interrelated emotions: stress, response, anxiety, defense, reversal and compromise. To validate this hypothesis he had to demonstrate that the mind followed the scale's formal operations resolving conflict along four personality types. (These types are exemplified by the four characters of Baum's The Wizard of Oz. Dorothy, the Scarecrow, The Tin Man and the Cowardly Lion.) and along the SHM's unfolding predictably from conflict to resolution along the chain reaction of six emotions. Accordingly he evolved the Conflict Analysis Battery, CAB, a psychological self-assessment detecting the four relational modalities with a personality inventory and the syndromal unfolding of the process utilizing creativity metaphor-creation-tasks corresponding to the six emotions.
