Neuropsychoanalytic Diagnosis ( Part 1 )

 As your therapist, when I begin to wonder about your neuropsychoanalytic diagnosis,  I look first for your transference patterns--both to me as your therapist and your significant others. These transference patterns in the present lead  to inferences ( reconstructions)  about your early childhood experiences, and how those experiences have resulted  in your  not sufficiently meeting your  seven basic emotional needs/drives (id).  ( You will recall from previous posts these seven needs/drives are: FEAR, PANIC/GRIEF, CARE, RAGE, LUST, PLAY and SEEKING)..........  As a result of not getting your basic needs/drives met, and depending  on your  age, developmental level, severity of childhood difficulties, and current life stressors-- your faulty unconscious, repressed, childhood predictions (ego compromises/solutions) may result in one of the following three levels of disorders: Neurotic  Disorders, Narcissistic/Borderline Disorders, and Psychotic Disorders. Neurotic level patients are rather high functioning persons.  Narcissistic/Borderline level patients, however, are more  ill, and Psychotic patients are severely disturbed. ........These three levels  of psychopathology are the result of the insufficiently resolved conflicts and/or traumas that may have occurred in any and all of your early developmental stages,  as well as  conflict/trauma in your current life.
