Standard Diagnostic Criteria

Diagnostic Criteria for The Standard Theory of Psychology



The Standard Theory of Psychology's diagnostic criteria is based on the recognition of and definition of baseline normal. This is the definition of normal activity and normal mentation without distress. Once that definition is understood, any process which deviates from that baseline normal can be considered abnormal. The diagnostic criteria is organized via The Standard Behavioral Index, the same as everything else in Standard Theory.

------SEVERITY OF DISORDERS------


----------------------------------------
Criteria for Severity::
----------------------------------------
Cyclic Thinking and the Affliction of Memory:
Standard Theory organizes the severity of each possible disorder based on how
badly the irregular cycle of communication affects the memory of the individual.

Normal Levels of Cyclic Thinking:

Zero - Zero Factor: Related to stimulation or simulated experience that is not stored in memory
First - Circular Thinking: Immediate attention only
Second - Ovular Thinking: Short-term memory that persists prior to sleep
Third - Elliptical Thinking: Long-term memory that persists after sleep
Fourth - Incongruent Thinking: Long-term unresolved memory pertaining to too many comparisons at once, becomes basis of new experience

Abnormal Levels of Cyclic Thinking:

Zero - Zero Factor: Related to stimulation or simulated experience that is not stored in memory especially in delusions
First - Disruption: Immediate attention which is left unresolved
Second - Derangement: Short-term memory of an unresolved experience prior to sleep
Third - Illness: Long-term unresolved memory that persists after sleep
Fourth - Disease: Long-term unresolved memory pertaining to too many disresolutions at once, becomes the basis of new experience

------CATEGORIES OF DISORDERS------


----------------------------------------
Physical Irregular Impulse:
----------------------------------------
Components of Impulse
Normal:
Impulse: begins communication with environment
Subtraction: compares information from the enviornment with any previously-stored information
Compression: stores information contained in the subtraction into memory

Abnormal:
Any alternate process (physiological, metabolic, injury, medication-induced, etc.)


----------------------------------------
Intimacy Dysfunction:
----------------------------------------
Problems communicating directly, one-on-one

Normal: Completes all steps to Constructive Intimacy (Characteristics 1 through 6)

Abnormal: Any alternate process in self/one-on-one communication, especially body status


----------------------------------------
Social Identity Disorder:
----------------------------------------
Replacing one-on-one communication with environment, objects, relationships, social status, or ideas

Normal: Social (idea, item, interpretation), Shared (subversion, aversion), Supersocial (grouping and sorting)

Abnormal:

Social: Social Identity Disorder Addiction, Social Intimacy
Shared: Aversive Identity Disorder (Forced Identity Disorder), Subversive Identity Disorder
Supersocial: Personification/Depersonification, Conditional Relationship/Disinterest, Pseudo-directive/Pseudo-deferral, Gapping


----------------------------------------
Behavioral Irregular Impulse:
----------------------------------------
Externalized behavior caused by hormones, medication, environment, internal stimulation, relationships, substances, unresolved communication, etc. in Post-Intelligent Impulse (Vertical Thinking)
