Demonstration of Szondi's Ego System Continued.







    

 To complete the demonstration as to the
difference  that just a change or the [p+] sign to [p-] the egovector settings just look at the change in striving that [k± p-] is inherent when that is the case.

  The setting [k± -] is the restless, variable ego sometimes paroxysmal, embedded in it are the ego possibilities:

      1. [k+ p-] (=an adult ego representing the narcissism and omnipotence.)    

  2. [k- p-] (=the drill ego, the repressed
average man's ego.)    

 3. [k±] (=both, introjection and repression.)
         

 4. [p-] (=unconscious projecting
of needs, fears and desires.)

  

At this point you may wish to object this is
getting more complex than you expected, regrettably, you would be correct. In fact if we shifted our demonstration to the [p±] and the [k+] and then [k-] as the opposed, a new series of differently directed strivings would emerge. We may do this demonstration in later in 
posts dealing with case  specific instances.


    

But for now, the point to be driven
home is; there is a natural order, we can filter it out, set
in terms of strivings. The strivings are identifiable by their special
characteristics which are those belonging to the psychiatric factor
from which it takes its name. For the ego, Szondi coded it
'Sch'.  Its functions are understandable from the
projected  unconscious, like and dislike of catatonia and
paranoid genotype photos.
