The Greek psychiatrist and systemist N. PARITSIS (Zeugma, 2000) enounces the following contextual links that can activate, desactivate or transform the psychological orientation (“tropos”) of a person:
He writes: “Contexts can be in the natural environment reflected in the mind, or directly in the mind as in the cases of:
- situations of the present or the past
- stages of human systems intelligent development
- the supra-systems in which the human system belongs such as families, work environment
- human systems relations such as friendship, love, hate
- particular interactions of the moment such as quarreling, courtship, running
- emotional states such as anger, fear, love, anxiety, depression, peacefulness, hapiness
- theories , beliefs, values
- cultures , myths, religions
- political or social organization
- nations“
Psychological contexts (and cultural ones) are a matter of very serious concern considering the acceleration of general transformation of mankind as well as the multiplication of interrelations among millions of people of many different origins.
