Korniliev, V. V. Process Approach to the Analysis of Mental States (Part 3)

Abstract: In this article Korniliev focuses on studying representations of pathology on the graph of movements of mental intentions. The purpose of the research is to analyze the relation between dynamics of mental skills and the influence of external factors bringing an individual into a state of pathology, in other words, the graphic presentation of the influence of external factors on the qualitative and quantitative features of mental skills. The other purpose of the research was to define whether neurotic factors have a complex or fragmentary influence on human as well as the possible influence of internal human factors on the process in general. Finally, Korniliev examines whether the frequency of fluctuations of a mental intention has a governing meaning. The main method used by the author is the psychological modeling aimed at studying representations of human pathological states and its passive characteristics. As a result, the researcher has proved the graphic representation of all the variety of mental states to be possible. The influence of neurotic factors has been defined through their antagonistic orientation at the nature of human development and further blocking of the spheres of mental time. In addition, Korniliev has defined the two psychological types, ‘alternatively oriented’ and ‘conservatively oriented’ types to show the level of resistance to the complex influence of neurotic factors. The frequency of fluctuation of a mental intention is supposedly connected with the degree of the intensity of human interactions with his inner and outer worlds.
