148 THE ART OF SOUND PICTURES chologist accepts the patient just as he is, and merely observes and records his condition. This behavior constitutes intellectual compliance. Next, he analyzes and reconstructs the entire personality picture. He attempts to understand his patient’s personality and to master its hidden difficulties and maladjustments. Here, he dominates intellectually by overcoming the difficulties and resistance which blocked the complete conprehension of the patient’s personality. He then persuades his patient to behave in a new way, prescribed by the psychologist — a process which is clearly inducement. Finally, the psychologist, by means of inducement, removes the patient’s personality difficulties and serves the patient as he most wants to be served. This ultimate action expresses the submission, which is the psychologist’s final purpose in undertaking the case. Compliance, in this whole case, made dominance possible; dominance in turn furnished the foundation for inducement; while inducement finally accomplished the ultimate purpose, which was submission to the patient’s needs and requests for the psychologist’s help. The emotions which we have been discussing are the simplest and most elementary. Dominance, submission, compliance, and inducement never occur in real or in reel life in their elementary forms. Dominance, even in a fight, must be mixed with compliance and with a certain amount of submission. We must know the elements of emotion chiefly to determine, in each situation, the predominating elementary emotion. We must also know something about its compounds to understand people and to write about them.
