AMBIENT EMOTION: People exude an emotional
aura. If those in a community or in a group are anxious, the emotional
atmosphere produced will be laden with tension. That "surrounding emotion"
is called ambient emotion. One can be "infected" by one’s emotional surroundings,
catching tension and anxiety just as one catches the flu.
AUTOMATIC REFLEX NETWORK:
Complex configuration of spontaneous, repetitive thought-voices belonging
to the non-volitional division of functioning mentality and originating
in childhood. The barrage of thought-voice activity from this complex
configuration operates independently of external and cognitive forces.
CLINICAL ETHNOLOGIST: An ethnologist
studies cultures of people. A clinician treats disruptive conditions in
people. A clinical ethnologist is a clinician who, as an expert on aberrant
human behavior across cultures, applies this new discipline in a mental
health treatment setting.
COUNTER-CONDITIONING: A concept used
in behavior modification.
CONDITIONING: While Pavlov applied the term
to conditioned reflexes of behavior, Hans Selye referred to conditioning
in terms of physiology. C-CTherapy®, however, applies the term as integral
to the creation of functioning mentality and refers to mental conditioning.
COUNTER-CONDITIONING THERAPY
(C-CTherapy®): A mental health treatment design which focuses its therapy
effort upon neutralizing the self-victimizing effects of one’s pattern
of behavior. Reducing the power of one’s mental disrupting activity
enables the patient to cope more easily with himself and those around him.

CROSS-CULTURAL PSYCHOTHERAPY:
A therapy that can be applied to mental health treatment in any culture,
as it is not founded on Western, Freudian precepts. Its design incorporates
the mental universals of human behavior.
FUNCTIONING MENTALITY: The interplay
between the two divisions of mentation. The volitional division accommodates
the function of logic and reason. The non-volitional division holds illogical
and repetitive thoughts. Both divisions constitute functioning mentality,
the source of all human behavior.

These articles illustrate the workings of ones functioning mentality and how mental reaction determines mental behaviour.

Demanding, accusatory phrases absorbed and collected since infancy into
one’s mental reservoir which recycle through one’s head and become self-victimizing
later in life.
LOW ENERGY-HIGH DEFENSE: With
low energy one operates mentally in a defensive manner, following the pattern’s
behavioral pathway developed since childhood.
MENTAL CONDITIONING: Originates from
the absorbed impressions collected from infancy on and forms the ingredients
of one’s mental reservoir of impressions. Mental conditioning drives
one’s functioning mentality.

Women's Woes: Sensitivity and Mental Conditioning
MENTAL OSMOSIS: The core element that through
inadvertent mental absorption builds our emotional, non-volitional mentality
from childhood.
MENTAL REFLEX: describes the action of the
illogical, non-volitional system, a mental action independent of will or
reasoning.
MENTAL UNIVERSALS OF HUMAN BEHAVIOR: Elements of behavior common to human beings across
all cultures.
MENTAL VALIDATION: Accepting as true
a thought-voice that compels one to behave in conformity to the illogical
contents of that thought-voice.
NON-VOLITIONAL PATTERN: One of
the divisions of functioning mentality which houses illogical and emotional
material. It is emotional in function (the driving force) and illogical
in content (the subject material). The nature of this involuntary mental
activity is equivalent to"knee-jerks of the mind."
OSMOTIC MENTAL ABSORPTION: If
imitation is active and reflects behavior like a mirror, osmotic absorption
is passive, a sensory mental sponge soaking up impressions. Osmotic mental
absorption is inherent and subliminal, the kind of sponge you did not know
you had until later, when you discover yourself talking or behaving just
like your mother or your father.
PERSONALITY: The coming together of the volitional
and non-volitional aspects of one's functioning mentality to produce a
singular style of behavior.

on one's mental/emotional system, a result of sudden, violent, or disturbing
experiences.

DESIGN: A mental health treatment design which addresses the totality of
the mental ingredients forming the non-volitional division of one’s functioning
mentality.
THOUGHT-VOICES: Thoughts which "pop" into
one's mind in an automatic, unheralded fashion.
VOLITIONAL PATTERN: One of the divisions
of functioning mentality in which logic and reason determines behavior.
