Title: Programming GPT as an Assessment Technology: Identifying the Scientific and Moral Structure of the Unconscious
Link: https://www.jaai.net/show-180-37-1.html
Abstract:
The Formal Theory of Behavior (FT) asserts that emotions are energetic quantities and that the unconscious is an energy and emotional transformation process that is both a scientific and a conflict resolving entity. FT conceptualizes this transformation process as consisting of a syndrome of six emotions. FT identifies four types of conflict resolutions, the relational modalities, as wellness diagnoses. This study uses Large Language Models (LLM) to identify the structure of the unconscious as a syndrome and relational modalities, demonstrating the scientific thesis underlying the unconscious process.
The study trains GPT to recognize FT's distinctions. The trained model is utilized to examine clinical statements, creating stories itself, political speeches, and religious texts. Derived data confirms FT's distinctions, identifying syndromes, relational modalities, and relational pathologies. Implications include improved recognition of unconscious as the atomistic unit of the social sciences and usage of GPT as an assessment technology applied to the analysis of personal samples of creativity.
Title: Conceptualizing Psychology as the Science of Conflict Resolution

Abstract:
This essay introduces psychological concepts based on the scientific analysis of the creative process as a conflict resolution entity. This conceptualization was founded on Formal Theory’s examining emotions as energetic entities and the unconscious, as manifested in creativity, as an energy and attitude transformation homeostatic mechanism. The theory evolved based on two observations: periodicity of a pattern and formal analysis of alternative cultural patterns. The unconscious therefore became a natural science, moral order measurable, qualifiable, graphically portrayable unit entity integrating art and science, psychology and morality. The benefit of this conceptualization is in its capacity to analyze the creative process utilizing a self-assessment, the Conflict Analysis Battery and playing Moral Monopoly, studying cultural stories reconciling religions. The scientific analysis of the conflict resolving unconscious transformed psychology into the Science of Conflict Resolution, the Moral Science. Accordingly organizational happiness examines social systems: the family, religions and ideologies as normative systems that are diagnosable, measurable, graphically portrayable, conflict resolving systems. Mindfulness, and Coping Strategies are examined in the context of a concise program of emotional education integrating art and science, using the self-assessment for self-discovery, and studying cultural stories examining the evolution of religions into the Moral Science.
Title: Shifting our Attention from Content to Process
Link: https://psycnet.apa.org/record/1997-04348-006
Abstract:
The possibility of integrating 3 therapeutic modalities (psychodynamic, cognitive-behavior therapy, and systems) by examining 3 formulations of the same case (see records 84-32053, 32080, 32136, and 32063) is considered. The 3 formulations are contrasted along 2 analytical perspectives, content vs process, as the phenomenological analysis of distinctions vs the formal relational structure of the process. The 3 phenomenological models, explored along the 4 criteria of T. Millon's (1993) integrative paradigms (epistemology, diagnostic categories, assessment techniques, and therapeutic interventions), are viewed as irreconcilable. By contrast, the parallel formal process analysis of samples of the 3 therapies allows the integration of the 3 therapies, by identifying a 6-role state conflict resolution process as their common denominator. This model is explored in the case at hand as providing relational diagnostic distinctions on the basis of which consensus could be established by the representatives of the 3 models. It is presumed that this reconciliation could enhance the 3 therapeutic interventions as complementary in reinforcing conflict resolution as their common objective.

Title: Introducing Emotional Education in the Classroom: Becoming Conscious of the Unconscious Utilizing the Conflict Analysis Battery
Link: https://osf.io/preprints/psyarxiv/gea6y_v1
Abstract:
In this study we introduce the formal theoretical conceptualization of psychology and apply it to the integration of the three components of the Self-regulated learning (SRL) experience. The Formal Theory through the analysis of the creative process identifies emotions as energetic entities and the unconscious as an energy transformation homeostatic conflict resolution mechanism, a scientifically defined, graphically portrayable, qualifiable and measurable conflict resolution entity. We identify its two components: a six emotions energetic dialectic leading predictably to four types of conflict resolution. This entity unites cognition, emotions, and behaviors into an organic testable, measurable continuum. A three prong emotional education program addresses the three domains leading to accurate and useful self-regulating insights. The cognitive component introduces the new science, integrating psychology, morality and physics by examining art exhibits; the psychological component uses the Conflict Analysis Battery (CAB) self-assessment for self-discovery; the behavior modification component examines cultural paradigms of four alternative ways of managing power and attitude as complementary relational modalities. In a study of the self-guided online delivery of the CAB to 47 participants, we examine the program’s emotional impact by reviewing the participants’ comments on the learning experience and their responses to a query evaluating the program’s didactic, diagnostic and therapeutic objectives. We conclude that since behavior has become a science educators should introduce Emotional Education to enhance SLR objectives.
Title: A Therapy Outcome Case Study Applying Formal Theory’s Concepts: Revamping Psychology into the Science of Conflict Resolution, the Moral Science
Link: https://osf.io/preprints/psyarxiv/kq4jn_v1
Abstract:
Introduction: This case study presents utilization of the Formal Theory’s (FT) conceptual and technological innovations. FT defines the unconscious as a homeostatic conflict resolution entity abiding by the laws of physics. This study utilizes the Conflict Analysis Battery (CAB), a manualized self-assessment that is based on the FT. Prior research evidences that CAB is didactic, diagnostic, and therapeutic. Methods: Study presents a case-record of a 32-year-old female with a history of psychiatric hospitalizations. Patient completed CAB two-times over the course of 16 outpatient sessions. Outcome is documented through the patient’s drawings and statements comparing how the patient felt before and after, symptom record, statements by the patient upon the end of therapy, and transcripts contrasting the two CAB completions. Results: Evidence suggests the efficacy of CAB model. In contrast to her previous failed treatments (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and psychopharmaceutical therapies) the patient experiences significant clinical improvement after 16 sessions. Improvements are observed to be enduring over time. The study examines four factors influencing the successful outcome: changes in the conceptualization of the unconscious, wellness diagnostic categories compared to DSM5 illness diagnoses, the therapeutic effectiveness of the manual-driven self-assessment compared to CBT and finally changes in the patient-therapist relationship.
