Amatorics

In Amatorics, the psychotype consists of four essential elements called personality archetypes. Each personality archetype performs its own psychological functions, which are numbered according to the sequence of the archetypes.

Ego fulfills the first main dominant function and Persona, the second complementary function. This is the conscious and strong block of the psychotype. They are opposed by the lower block, where the archetype of Shadow takes the third function, and Anima the fourth.

The first and second functions of the Libido accumulate mental energy and memorize well the necessary information. The third and fourth functions of Mortido, on the contrary, do not accumulate, but destroy mental energy and quickly lose concentration on their aspects of mutual relations.

The Amatoric model also utilizes an archetype, the Self. It has a transcendent fifth function - switching attention between patterns and directing energy to a particular type of relationship. The Self is the connecting link of the psyche that gathers the whole psychotype into a unified whole. The development of the Self allows to weaken the influence of functions and make the perception of the psychotype more harmonious.

First Function (Ego)

The first function, denoted as Ego, is the leading and dominant force in the human psyche. It represents the core of the personality, determining the basic way of interaction with the world and building relationships. This function has the greatest energy and confidence, manifesting itself as a purposeful and persistent force. A person fully relies on the perceptions and judgments formed by this function, considering them infallible and the only true.

In role manifestation, the First Function acts as a Parent. It is characterized by professionalism, strictness, and peremptoriness. Like a parent, the First Function insists on its point of view, seeks to control the situation and guide others according to its understanding. It tends to be overactive and may be intolerant of opinions contrary to its own. The energy of this function builds up mental resources, providing excellent memory and concentration on aspects within her purview.

Second Function (Persona)

The Second Function, denoted as Persona, is an auxiliary but active force that complements the First Function. It provides flexibility and adaptability to the personality, allowing for harmonious interaction with the world around us. This function has moderate energy and confidence, manifesting as a creative and adaptive force. A person, relying on the Second function, is able to take into account the interests of others and adequately respond to changing circumstances.

In role manifestation, the Second Function acts as an Adult. It is characterized by adequacy, openness, and rationality. Like the Adult, the Second Function is capable of dialog, cooperation and compromise. It shows moderation in judgment, respects other people's opinions, and strives for harmonious functioning in relationships. The energy of this function also builds up mental resources, providing good memory and concentration, enabling successful problem solving in one's field.

Third Function (Shadow)

The third function, labeled the Shadow, is a supportive but suppressed force representing a vulnerable and conflicted area of the personality. This function has unstable energy and insecurity, manifesting as painful and conflicting perceptions. The individual avoids the manifestation of this function, fears criticism of it, and tends to see deficiencies in aspects within its purview.

In role manifestation, the Third Function acts as a Teenager. It is characterized by withdrawal, rebelliousness, and emotional instability. Like a teenager, the Third Function is distrustful of itself and others, prone to negativism and denial of authority. It is unable to store mental energy, on the contrary, it destroys it, which leads to rapid fatigue and loss of concentration in areas related to this function.

Fourth Function (Anima)

The fourth function, labeled the Anima, is a subordinate and dependent force representing the weak and accepting area of the personality. This function has little energy and insecurity, manifesting as detached and passive perception. The person is willing to accept patterns and follow others' opinions in the area of this function, without showing his or her own initiative and perseverance.

In role manifestation, the Fourth Function acts as a Child. It is characterized by spontaneity, resentfulness, and dependence. Like a child, the Fourth Function seeks support, protection, and acceptance. It is easily influenced and willing to accept another's point of view, especially if it comes from an authority figure. The energy of this function also fails to build up mental resources, destroying them and leading to rapid fatigue and loss of concentration in the relevant areas.

It is important to realize that the functions in the psyche do not exist in isolation, but are in constant interaction. The First Function (Ego) and the Fourth Function (Anima) form a harmonious union where the strength and confidence of the Ego is balanced by the acceptance and passivity of the Anima. The Second Function (Persona) and the Third Function (Shadow) also form a relatively harmonious union, where the adaptability of the Persona helps mitigate the vulnerability and conflict of the Shadow.

However, conflicting relationships arise between the First Function (Ego) and the Third Function (Shadow), as well as between the Second Function (Persona) and the Fourth Function (Anima). These conflicts are a source of inner tension and psychological growth, requiring the realization and integration of contradictions to achieve personal wholeness.

The patterns are divided into two large groups - positive, promoting the growth of love - Eros, Agape, Storge and Philia. Patterns form personality types: by Eros - Aesthetes, by Agape - Practitioners, by Storge - Idealists, and by Philia - Realists. Patterns also influence human behavior in love and relationships and manifest themselves as patterns of behavior - Eros archetypes, Agape archetypes, Storge archetypes and Filia archetypes.

Positive patterns have their antagonists, destructive patterns that lead to quarrels, violence and destruction - Mania, Pragma, Tyranny and Phobia. These patterns also influence human behavior through the Mania Archetypes, the Pragma Archetypes, the Tyranny Archetypes, and the Phobia Archetypes.
