Analytical Trilogy

Analytical Trilogy is the science that grew out of Dr. Norberto Keppe’s psychoanalytical school of
Integral Psychoanalysis. Trilogy signifies the union of the fields of theology, philosophy and science,
while Analytical expresses Keppe’s scientific method of client psychoanalysis.Keppe named his method
Trilogy, based on the results of the study of:

● The Human Being:​ Feelings (Love), Thought (reason) and Aesthetics.

● Society: ​Theology, Philosophy and Science (and the Arts).
● God:​ Divine Trinity, The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit.

Analytical, due to the fact that it is an experimental science and accomplishes an analytical scientific
work.

Trilogical Psychopathology

Contrary to psychoanalytical, psychological, psychosomatic and psychiatric orientation, Keppe is the only
scientist who points out that the main causes of mental illnesses are related to psychic factors, that is,
factors that arise from the individual’s own interior linked to the inverted application of his will. As a
consequence, Keppe developed the first real psychological science.

By applying psychoanalytical science to studies accomplished in Philosophy and Metaphysics, Keppe

discovered that psychic illness (neurosis and psychosis), likewise, organic and social illnesses, are the
result of the distortion and destruction of pre-existent sanity in the human being. Malum privatio boni –
Evil being the privation of what is good, in agreement with philosophy; and in science, illness being the
privation of health.

Trilogical Socio-Pathology

Keppe has developed a scientific view of man as fundamentally a healthy and mature entity based on his
assertion that the nature of life is good, beautiful and true. His scientific perspective, then, is optimistic
and positive as opposed to many traditional psychoanalytical schools that see human reality in pessimistic
terms. For Keppe, human dysfunction occurs when the individual deviates from his inner reality and
begins to seek fulfillment in something outside his own true nature. Illness is simply the result of a desire
(often inconscientized) to deny, omit or distort truth and reality. It is the factors that arise from the
individual’s own interior out of the inverted application of his will that cause his or her mental, physical
and emotional difficulties, meaning that Keppe has developed the world’s first truly psychological
science.

Another fundamental aspect of Analytical Trilogy is the application of psychological wisdom to the
socio-economic structure. Keppe’s contention is that the greater society has been organized to serve those
who pathological crave socioeconomic power. This type of organization, whose laws and philosophy are
based on inverted values, is the other cause for mental and physical illness.

Trilogical Spirit-Pathology

Keppe accomplished the unification of the field of spirituality with science when he considers that the
human being was created essentially in goodness, beauty and truth, but, due to his opposition towards his
Creator (theomania and envy) he inverts his will falling from a perfect conduct into illnesses and
suffering. In this sense, the human being is similar to fallen spirits which Keppe calls schizophrenic
angels – and shows the similarity in behavior of psychotics and those who are sicker, with these unhappy
and destructive creatures in transcendence. Conscientization of this problematic (psychopathology) is the
only means of solving the spiritual, social, psychological and organic issues.

Inversion

Inversion – the principal cause of the destruction of the world

Keppe sees our destruction as being primarily connected to psychological inversion, which acts on two
levels:

1)​ ​Individual Level – the inversion starts within the human being in our emotional sphere, in our
“values” and attitudes. For example, we are inverted when we see dishonesty, materialism, envy,
corruption, hypocrisy, hatred, aggressiveness, greed, alienation, egotism, laziness, vices – in
short, psychopathology – as advantageous to our lives.
 According to Keppe, these inverted values and attitudes have Theomania (pride, arrogance,
megalomania and narcissism) as their root cause.
This largely unconscious and destructive attitude leads human beings to reject everything that is
good, beautiful and truthful in their own lives and in the society at large.

2) Social Level – Inversion manifests in society principally through the sick use of
socio-economic power (particularly financial ), which causes unfair laws, destructive habits, lack
of ethics, social repression, decadent and corrupt systems and institutions that act against the
people and nature.
War, terrorism, racism, religious intolerance, wild private or state capitalism, manipulation by
interest groups, the irrational exploitation of workers and natural resources, consumerism, the
stagnation of the sciences, arts and knowledge can all be included as examples of inverted social
activities.

The result of all this is physical, psychological, socio-economic and ecological disease.
Note: Currently, we can see that pathological financial power is dominating the political, judiciary,
legislative, religious, media powers, and has established the worst dictatorship in recorded history.

Conscientization

“Consciousness is a phenomenon that involves a mediation of our feeling and intellect and depends on
both to occur —the first (feeling) is the basis of consciousness and the second (intellect) is its
manifestation”.

According to Keppe, consciousness is connected to ethics. A conscious individual is automatically

responsible because when an ethical person perceives his mistakes and wrongdoings he is automatically
compelled to correct them.

Only a massive conscientization of psycho-socio-pathology will allow humanity to change its destructive
path.

Those who don’t do anything to impede the destruction of the world are helping to destroy it.
Glossary of Terms
ALIENATION - ​The voluntary but often unperceived attitude of detaching oneself from reality and
especially from the consciousness of one’s errors. When we are unwilling to accept consciousness of
something, we use many different things to alienate ourselves, among them sex, power, money,
hyperactivity, travel, television, alcohol and drugs.

ANALYTICAL TRILOGY - ​ A scientific theory and methodology created by Brazilian psychoanalyst

Norberto R. Keppe, Ph.D., which unifies the fields of science, philosophy and theology. In the individual
this corresponds to the unification of feeling, thought and action that results in full consciousness.
BEING - One’s essence, which is fundamentally good, beautiful and truthful.

CENSORSHIP -​ The prevention of disturbing or painful thoughts, feelings or actions from reaching
consciousness except in a disguised form, especially consciousness of psychosocial pathology.

CONSCIOUSNESS - ​The component of waking awareness, both inside and outside oneself, perceptible
by a person at any given instant. Includes awareness of right and wrong, of psychopathological attitudes
and of goodness, truth and beauty.

CONSCIENTIZATION -​ A word coined in English as a synonym for the original in Portuguese used by
Dr. Keppe to describe the psychological process of becoming aware of reality, both external and internal,
through a mixed process of feeling and knowing.

ENVY -​ While the dictionary defines envy as a combination of discontent, resentment and desire usually
for the possessions, advantages or qualities of another, Keppe adds a new dimension to this definition,
broader than ordinary jealousy and closer to the Latin root of the word: invidere (in=non, videre=to see).
Keppe sees envy as a psychological blindness, a negation of awareness, an unconscious wish to destroy
the goodness and beauty we see not just in others but in our own lives as well. Although Keppe was
originally trained as a Freudian analyst, he observed in his clinical practice that his patients exhibited
envy that was not, as Freud proposed, sexually based. Instead, it was due to a broader rejection of love, an
unconscious dismissal of the goodness, truth and beauty in oneself and in others. In Keppes opinion,
envy, although mainly unseen, is the primary destructive psychological force behind all ills mental,
physical and social.

EXTERNALIZE/EXTERIORIZE - ​To give or attribute an external form or objective character outside

the self to states of mind, attitudes, etc.
FEELINGS -​ Keppe proposes that the only real feeling is love, and therefore that envy, hate, anger are
not true feelings but primarily attitudes taken against love.

IDEALIZE -​ To regard or show as perfect or more nearly perfect than is true.

IDENTIFICATION -​ To recognize in another person one's own characteristics, good or bad. We can
identify with someone without realizing it.

INCONSCIENTIZATION / INCONSCIENTIZE -​ A term coined by Keppe to describe the willful

attitude of concealing, repressing or denying one’s consciousness. Hiding from oneself something one
does not wish to see.

INTERIORIZATION - ​Coined by Keppe to describe the comprehensive process of perceiving the

existence of an inner psychological universe greater than our external universe: virtually, the existence in
us of the beauty, truth and goodness of the Creator. The most important process in Analytical Trilogy
because it constitutes a return to one's inner self, to the source of life and happiness.

INTERNALIZE / INTERIORIZE -​ To make (others, especially the prevailing attitudes, ideas, norms,
etc.) a part of one's own patterns of thinking.

INVERSION - ​A psychological process, first observed by Keppe in 1977 and unique to his work, in
which values and the perception of reality are inverted in the individual and in society. Examples: seeing
good in something evil and evil in something good; believing that reality, not fantasy, causes suffering;
seeing work as a sacrifice and laziness as pleasurable; thinking that love brings suffering and pain; and
making wealth, prestige and power the most important goal of all.

NEUROSIS - ​Any of various mental or emotional disorders involving symptoms such as insecurity,
anxiety, depression and irrational fears. According to Keppe, all human beings are neurotic to a greater or
lesser degree.

PARANOIA - ​ Irrational distrust of others, delusions of persecution, often strenuously defended with
apparent logic and reason.

PROJECT -​ To externalize or exteriorize (a thought, feeling or action/attitude) so that it appears to have

objective reality.

PROJECTION -​ The unconscious act or process of ascribing to others one's own ideas, impulses or
emotions, especially when they are considered undesirable or cause anxiety.

PROJECTIVE IDENTIFICATION AND PROJECTIVE IDEALIZATION​ are two sides of the same
coin, so to speak, in which a person sees in someone else his own most serious defects or the qualities he
imagines himself to have. Both types of projection involve unreal, delusional ideas.
PROJECTIVE IDENTIFICATION -​ An advanced stage of projection of a person's pathology, the
individual sees the other person as being the cause of his problems and unhappiness. The target person(s)
is usually emotionally linked to the individual and does not have the problems/attitudes ascribed to him.
The sick person generally projects his own defects; that is, sees them in the very person or persons who
are good to him. Envy is the underlying cause of projective identification, a theory initially proposed by
Melanie Klein.

PROJECTIVE IDEALIZATION -​ An even more highly advanced stage of idealization, the person
imagines that the object (usually a loved one) possesses ideals and qualities he himself fails to incorporate
into himself or his life. Discovered by Norberto Keppe, projective idealization is another expression of
envy in the Keppean sense and something that everyone does to some extent, imagining qualities the
object does not possess. Very often the projection is an inversion whereby the person sees his own
qualities in someone sicker, more unbalanced exactly the opposite of what occurs in the process of
projective identification.

PSYCHOPATHOLOGY -​ The study of psychological illness. Also used as a synonym for psychological
illness.

SANITY -​ Soundness of judgment or reason. Keppe considers a person sane if they are willing and have
the humility to accept the consciousness of their envy as well as enough self-control to curb thoughts and
actions based on envious impulses. In short, sanity means living and acting in accordance with the
goodness, truth and beauty inherent in one's being.

TRUTH -​ That which is real; that which exists, good or bad. Truth is absolute, the same for everyone,
never relative. The same holds true for all untruth, falsehood, lying. For example, spoiled food is not good
for anyone; aggression hurts everyone; tyranny is not beneficial for anyone; love is good for everyone;
oxygen is good and necessary for everyone.

UNCONSCIOUS, THE -​ Defined in traditional psychoanalytical theory as the division of the mind
containing elements of psychic makeup, such as memories or repressed desires that are not subject to
conscious perception or control but that often affect conscious thoughts and behavior. In Keppes view, the
unconscious exists only as a negation of consciousness, which exists prior to it. He does not consider the
unconscious to be an actual compartment in the psyche, but sees it as the effort we make to hide our
problems, especially our envy. Because our psychopathology is too shameful to admit, we try to ignore it
any way we can. As a result, it not only continues to exist but its negative force becomes even greater.

WILL, THE - ​A person’s acceptance or denial of the perception of consciousness.
