Traditional transaction psychology

Throughout history, people have repeatedly tried to reveal the factors that make people or animals do something. In this process, various theories from astronomy to medicine have been produced, and various explanations from devil possession to self-determination have been put forward. Every popular theory vividly reflects the times at that time. In some societies, certain behaviors are completely ignored, while in others, they may receive great attention. The complex interaction of life experiences in various social structures has created more complex behavior scenes. Sometimes, the factors affecting human behavior are so numerous and changeable that any attempt to explain them seems difficult to achieve.

In the dark ages, such questions are as mysterious as today. Try to deal with it? From the heart? When the devil appeared, humans used many technologies. But both trephine (drilling holes in human skull to release evil spirits) and bloodletting therapy are doomed to failure. When human beings became civilized and gave up witchcraft therapy, this practice was replaced by scientific procedures. Through repeated experiments, the system and theory of human behavior have been developed to explain and solve the problem of mental illness. In most cases, these techniques are better than the ancient witchcraft treatment. In fact, until recently, the goal of researchers was to explain human behavior, not to predict and change.

Generally speaking, the process of revealing the human mind is a slow and difficult transformation process. Although great technological progress has been made in other scientific fields, psychology and psychiatry are still in a very naive stage. This may be because human beings are most resistant to discovering their own truth. Knowing these truths may lead to misfortune rather than happiness. So do many traders. The stubborn nature of human beings who pretend to know the truth will often become a stumbling block on our way forward. The enemy does not exist in the environment around you and me. On the contrary, you surround the enemy because it comes from within. Fortunately, since1970s, more explicit techniques for revealing and changing behaviors have become possible.

Two schools of psychology.

There are two important schools of thought in the field of modern psychology, which are similar to the two schools in the field of trading to some extent. Traders generally classify themselves as technical analysts or basic analysts. Some traders' methods are not pure enough to belong to a certain faction, but each faction uses a little.

There are usually many schools of thought in any academic field, which can finally be classified as relative positions arranged along a continuum. Extreme views can be found at opposite ends, and changes in a certain theme can be found somewhere between the two poles. This model can be used to represent anything from religious groups to political alliances. The school of market basic analysis and the school of pure technology are located at opposite poles, while other types of market analysis focus on a certain point between the two poles. So do psychologists and psychiatrists. At one end is the traditional Freudian school, and at the other end is the behavioral school.

Interest in traditional psychology

Traditional psychologists are very similar to the basic market analysis school in essence. They studied what he thought was the internal cause of human behavior. Their concerns are as follows:

Why do people do this?

What are the internal causes of behavioral and thinking disorders?

How can you help a person with his life history?

What drives people to act in a certain way?

What is the subconscious process of motivating behavior?

These questions are very similar to those asked by the analysis of basic market factors. By looking for the reasons that determine the price movement and the internal reasons of market fluctuation, the basic analysis school is consistent with the general direction of traditional psychologists.

Interest in behavioral psychology

Behavioral psychologists only study open, clearly measurable behaviors. They are interested in the following questions:

How often do certain behaviors occur?

What are the events that maintain behavior?

What happened before and after a specific behavior?

Can behavior be changed by controlling the sum of environmental conditions?

How long does it take to apply a specific method to change behavior?

How long has the current behavior existed?

By asking these questions, behaviorists actually work at the technical level. He is interested in measuring and exploring the application of specific trends, frequency counting and operation technology. This is very similar to the methods used by market technologists to explore specific trends and measurements. Although they can't control or change market behavior, they are looking for public signs rather than internal reasons.

Traditional psychiatry and psychology

The founders of traditional psychiatry were two doctors, Joseph, who practiced medicine in Vienna at the end of 19. Bleuel and Sigmund? Freud. In the early period of 1900, Freud formed a theory about human behavior by studying early childhood experiences and different theories about human brain structure. He believes that most behaviors are the result of unconscious impulses. All his theories are complicated and difficult to understand. He and his followers believe that most behaviors are formed by the interaction of internal mechanisms. Dreams and their symbols are used as tools to explain psychological processes and behaviors. Some Freudian scholars also designed a detailed list of symbolic meanings of dreams. By theorizing it in this way, psychiatrists can get in touch with the real reasons of individual behavior. By talking with patients and using various techniques including hypnosis, patients can theoretically see the relationship between their behavior and internal drive and depression, thus resolving contradictions. If this technology is used properly, no matter what kind of troubles patients suffer, they can be cured. This method is called. Psychoanalysis? .

The research and development of psychoanalysis and psychiatry has gone through a long time and countless efforts. Freud's school of psychiatry inspired the development of other theoretical concepts. Adler School, Jung School and Rank School are all followers of Freud's basic concepts, and each of them has made a unique play to their themes to some extent. Today, every school still exists and has its own supporters. But the most popular ones are Freudians and Neo-Freudians.

The core of the basic method

Is the core of Freudian therapy right? Internal reasons? Dependence. Therefore, their method is similar to the basic analysis method of speculation. The market is rising because of less supply but greater demand, less output and worse weather. The price drop is due to the increase in output, the slowdown in export demand, poor company income, poor sales and so on. The patient's anxiety is due to the early mental trauma of children; He is afraid of powerful weapons because he is afraid of his father; He is afraid of his father because he feels guilty and is afraid of his father's punishment. It can be seen that the Freudian method of revealing people and the basic analytical method of revealing financial markets are both internal causes. Based on basic factors. From this point of view, they are very similar. In fact, they have similar advantages as well as similar disadvantages.
