Harwood Fisher Knihy

The book introduces a structural approach to understanding personality psychology, drawing inspiration from Kenneth Colby's PARRY simulation of a paranoid state. Harwood Fisher analyzes the linguistic patterns of Donald Trump and his supporters, referred to as "The Trio," demonstrating how their communication reflects similar logical structures. By comparing these patterns to Colby's computer-generated responses, Fisher aims to illuminate how truth is presented and judged in rhetoric. This work is intended for students and scholars across various fields, including psychology and computer science.

Exploring the interplay between Freud and Pavlov, the book delves into their shared psychological theories despite their apparent differences. It highlights their concepts of mind and psychopathology, proposing a systems approach that synthesizes their views. By employing semiotic analysis, the text reveals how both theorists utilize logical sequences and negation in understanding mental processes. This comprehensive framework connects neurological and psychological elements, offering valuable insights for researchers and practitioners in psychology, cognitive science, and AI.
