Abstract

Describes the results of an interdisciplinary study of the unconscious, obtained by a new method. Deciphering the features of the layers of the unconscious (by analyzing an anagram, a complete or a selective phonograms) on the material of 11000 Russian-language texts of the XII-XXI centuries (or their excerpts) allowed to identify and study phenomena of the unconscious: subpersonalities of the childlike and adult Self, the archetypal universal matrix (the material substrate of which is in the Amygdala), narrative codes that construct the "fate of the hero", levels of subjectness, etc. A hypothesis has been put forward about the relationship between impaired unconscious perception of certain signal sounds and various mental pathologies. Areas of application of this method are mentioned: from a description of the patient's inner world to attribution of literary works, understanding of the national mentality and revealing the deep value attitudes of "players" in the historical arena.
