1、Spontaneous TherapyDr.Istvn Magyari-BeckIt is a deeply rooted theory today that we people are frequently attacked by the harsh reality in a spontaneous way and are subsequently defended by some kind of professional therapies. In this paper we shall speak first of all of psychotherapy, in spite of th
2、e fact that it is not so easy to make absolutely exact distinctions between psychotherapy and traditional medical therapy. That is illness comes spontaneously, whereas the cure is a professional job. In the course of the explanation of this state of affairs, the fight of everybody against everybody
3、is frequently mentioned as a basic social rule of human life. We can be attacked both physically and/or psychologically. The psychological attack against our personality aims as a rule our superego, our value system trying to “persuade” us about the existence of a sharp contradiction between our beh
4、avior on one hand and our value system on the other one. This method of oral aggression usually in the disguise of everyday “education” is in fact a very effective method of the destruction of personality from its top level. The therapist goes an opposite way. He or she accepts us, expresses his or
5、her esteem as for our personality and helps us with the solution of our problems. It is true that sometimes certain illnesses can also be created by therapists in the process of therapy. However, these illnesses are regarded either as mere accidents or the results of the lack of sufficient medical c
6、onditions in terms of finance, personnel, expertise and so on. It is worth also mentioning that not only the harsh environment and life conditions can lead to illnesses. Many times, high level culture and civilization acts similarly. E.g. when people are not able to adjust, being socialized if the o
7、riginal gap between their childhood and the real society proves to be too large. This can happen if a society is accumulating a large number of working innovations and people cannot follow them (Jung, 1989; Lorenz, 1988). Although any culture and civilization serves the satisfaction of high level hu
8、man needs, too much food so to speak is not digestible even for a tragically hungry person.But, an opposite case is also imaginable. Namely when it is the therapist who regularly make the patients ill and it is life, which cures him/her. Recall the famous novel by Thomas Mann: Der Zauberberg, where
9、the medical doctors behave in a too market economy way see this concept later! finding prematurely the hero: Hans Castorp ill. Hans Castorp was in fact a part of Thomas Manns soul and cured himself at the end of the story via returning to the challenges of life. Here, the diagnosis and therapy were
10、the sources of illness and the life outside the sanatorium reestablished the Mann-Castorps soundness spontaneously. One of the most frequent methods of making somebody ill is to accustom him or her to the medicaments. E.g. if a medical doctor finds a high blood pressure in somebodys case, medicament
11、s for pushing blood pressure down can easily turn this person into a real patient even if the measured high blood pressure was in fact a mere chance occurrence. The cause of this outcome is that after a certain period of using the above-mentioned medicaments no one can maintain a normal level of blo
12、od pressure without this kind of drugs. There exist some methods for creating patients consumers of medicaments from healthy people and we can rightly call these methods as special examples of economic behavior by therapists.For the sake of completeness let us mention two more possibilities. Some pe
13、ople are cured by therapists and at the same time get iatrogenic diseases because of the procedures used by the same therapists. If this process proves to be a long and repeated one, the victims of therapy become socialized to the world of hospitals and sanatoriums and will not be able to lead a nor
14、mal life outside the walls of these institutions. The fourth and final in this framework possibility is when someone is made ill by certain adverse real life events, but it is again the real life, which makes him or her healthy. What sorts of phenomena can return our health and maintain it firmly? F
15、riendship, love, emotional catharsis, reading, listening to good music and so on. The second and fourth forms of therapy outlined above I shall call spontaneous therapy. Let us summarize all these in the next matrix:curing illness By life By therapistscreating illness By life A cases B cases Spontaneous illnessBy therapists C cases D cases Artificial illness Spontaneous therapy Professional therapy It seems to me that professional therapy is based s
