Dear Reader, 

 

This is the ninth writing which includes findings that were reported by the animal researchers Owren and Rendall in their paper “An affect conditioning model of nonhuman primate vocal signaling” (1997).

During private speech no sound is produced or heard. Sound is only produced and heard during public speech. It is ridiculous that schizophrenia has given status to hearing voices. Nobody can hear voices when no sound is made. 

When we wake up from a dream we know it was not real, but supposedly the schizophrenic day dream is something different. Psychosis is as unreal as a dream. Psychosis is private speech, which is, of course, a function of the kind of public speech I call Noxious Verbal Behavior (NVB), chaotic,  confusing, inconsistent and frightening public speech. 

The only solution to psychosis is Sound Verbal Behavior (SVB) public speech, which that replaces NVB private speech with SVB private speech. Nothing needs to be done with the NVB private speech or psychosis. 

The fact that almost everybody has been trying to do something about NVB private speech has not helped anyone. It has not and could not increase SVB and it has not and could not decrease NVB. 

NVB can only be decreased by increasing SVB. Only those who know how to have SVB can influence and regulate the psychotic, bipolar or depressed person. Any concept of therapy that is based on content of speech misses out on the important onditioning effects of the sound of our voice. 

Due to the conditioning effects of our voice we regulate or dysregulate our selves and each other. The schizophrenic, bipolar or depressed produce him or herself a dysregulating sound.   

It is this sound needs to be changed and once that is accomplished the person is no longer schizophrenic, bipolar or depressed. We can only change one sound with another sound, but in NVB we get carried away by words.
