2) China accuses the others of being responsible for his fate.  This determines the relation of the patient to others: isolation, reproaches, disdain, cynicism, stand off.

Isolation

- Aversion to company (2)                    – reserved

- Aversion to all persons                       – reflecting

- Wants to be quiet                               – introspection (2)

- Refuses to answer (2)              – selfishness

- Answers laconic

- Conversation aggravate

- Indisposed to talk (2)

Reproaching

- Indignation

- Reproaching others (3)

Disdain

- Abusive

- Foppish

- Haughty

- Insolence

Then follows anger, vengeance, cynicism …. To the point of frightening himself:

- Anger, inclined to vex others (3)                                   - want of moral feeling

- Anger, so angry he could have stabbed anyone           – cruelty

- Desire to kill loved ones                                                 – ungrateful

- Desire to kill with a knife (!)                              – unsympathetic

- Rage leading to deeds of violence                                 – Fear of killing (2)

- Malicious with anger (2)                                                 - fear to fly into rage (2)

China then becomes disobedient (2), dictatorial (2), contrary, intolerant of contradiction, redness of naughty children.

Escape is a solution to be contemplated:

- Escape attempts to, jumps up suddenly from bed

- Jumps out of bed (3)

- Restlessness tossing about in bed (2)

- Roving senseless

- Runs about (2)

- Alcoholism (3)

The whole story causes China to become unhappy (2)

- Delusion unfortunate                              - discontented (2)

- Delusion forsaken, he is                          – discouraged (2)

- Forsaken feeling                                     - inconsolable (2) (even to suicide)

- Sentimental                                             – dreams of misfortune

- Feels unfortunate

- Complaining                                            – desire to be cheerful

- Lamenting

Regardless of these sentiments, there is no desire to reconcile with the world:

Consolation aggravates.

- Anger from caressing (1- 1) morose and weeping from caressing

- Fear of being pitied

Every time he feels wounded, every time he feels something is taken away (2) or when something fails, his case gets worse.  There are many rubrics illustrating this.  I will produce a sample (subjective choice).

Mental

- Ailments from mortification (2)

- Ailments from grief

- Ailments from sexual excesses (3)

- Confusion of mind during perspiration (2)

- Delirium after depletion (2- 1) and from loss of fluids (2- 2)

- Excitement after haemorrhage (2- 1)

- Forgetful from loss of fluids

- Irritability coition after (2)

- Sadness and indifference perspiration after (3)

Physical (only a limited sample is given here)

- Weakness (3): from Diarrhoea (3)

Emission after (2)

In haemorrhage (3)

With leucorrhoea (3)

From loss of fluids (3)

Menses after (2)

In nursing woman (2)

From perspiration

3)  Like the tree, China has only one solution: to reconstruct himself (3) and to continue to grow (3).  He is persuaded he will be stopped from doing so (dreams disputing about money) he decides to mobilise its strength when the other are not there (2); this is in the evening (3).  In opposition, waking is the worst time of the day.

- Canine hunger at night (3)                                 – dullness on waking (3)

- Theorizing evening (2)                                        – anxiety, irritability on waking (2)

- Making many plans (evening (2) and night (3))

- Clearness of mind (3) (evening (3) night (2))

- Hopeful

- Full of desire, indefinite (1-

- Weeping about an imaginary need (1- 1)

- Desires activity

It is obvious that it is all about projects rather than realising the projects: I would like to but I can’t.

- Dullness after dreams

- Intentions contrary to speech

- Capriciousness (2)

China knows/imagines the reconstruction to be inefficacious (3), deemed to fail (fear of failure, dreams falling from height).  Many symptoms show these feelings: anxiety, hypochondria, laziness, restlessness, sadness eating after (2).  Physical symptoms indicate the same: Ravenous appetite with emaciation (3), Diarrhoea painless night only after eating in the daytime (3).

Whatever China tries, it does not realize itself.

- Fancies lascivious with impotence (2)

- Irritability with weakness (3)

- Irresolution in acts

Even when attempts suicide

- Suicidal disposition but lack of courage (3)

China then gives up

- Inclination to sit (3)

- Unconscious if he remains erect (1- 1)

- Slowness (2)

- Want of self confidence (2)

…or lives in hope:

- gambling

… chooses to be different:

- extravagance

- crank

…realising himself constitutes a real problem for China (2).  That is why we find China in:

- Carefulness serious (3)           and                   Chaotic (3)

- Bulimia (3)                                and                Anorexia (3)

- Envy (2), avidity (2), greedy (2), gourmand

- Appetite increased (2) fever during (2)

Instead of choosing this materialistic, physical path to realisation, China can react in an opposite way: by ignoring the value of everything:

- Things seem unattractive (1 – 1)                    – anorexia nervosa (3)

- Objects seem unworthy (2 – 1)                      – indifference  to drinking

- Contemptuous of everything (2)                               to eating

to making money

to pain

- dreams are unimportant

- tranquillity (2)

…in some case he can even ignore his own body:

- delusion did not touch the bed when lying

- delusion he is light, incorporeal

- vertigo walking, as if gliding in the air with sensation as if feet did not touch the ground (2)

…or in the absence of other develop as an artist:

- ability for art

- desire to be read

- desire to write

- verses making

I would like to end this work with the rubric, fear of dogs (3).  The dog is the enemy that comes to bite you by surprise and takes a piece of meat out of you.

Conclusion: China blames others around him for the fact that he cannot accomplish things.
