Publications STUDY NOTES SUBLIMATED WRITINGS by the BAOG Research Team First noticed by Renna Nezos and presented in her Vol 1 and later researched by the BAOG's research team. Sublimation is the loss of self-respect in children is a result of lack of respect shown to them by parents, carers or educators. Humiliation at an early age is the main cause for sublimation. The instinct of survival - which is the first and strongest instinct in all living creatures - leads the individual into acting in a uniform way, in order to put an end to humiliation and the resulting feeling of worthlessness, which causes such untold suffering and despair. The result is a combination of emotional distancing, surface hardness and over-rationalisation. Suppressing nature does not work and the side-effects of sublimation are numerous and vary from individual to individual. Sublimation is seen in handwriting by syndromes such as "aerated spacing with simplified, progressive forms with, at the same time, narrow ovals, m's and n's, which contradict the initial image of flow and progression" or "short vertical extensions giving an image of sobriety and composure, with horizontal over-connections and occasional accidental balloons, which defy the image of sobriety," etc. SUBLIMATED WRITINGS by the BAOG Research Team Spiral bound Price £15.00 BOOK ORDER FORM Back to SCRIPTOR BOOKS section SCRIPTOR BOOKS 123 Bickenhall Mansions LONDON W1U 6BT UNITED KINGDOM Tel/Fax: +44 20 7935 9884 e-mail: john.simopoulos@stcatz.ox.ac.uk
