According to Dr. R. Joseph
Noted expert in fields of neurology and
psychology
Dr. R. Joseph
The Unconscious Self-Concept
The manner in which we were treated as children and how
our parents treated each other, good or bad, was observed,
responded to emotionally, and stored away in memory. If we
were neglected, abused, ignored, teased, or ridiculed and
made to feel bad, insignificant, or incompetent by our parents
or other children, these feelings, hurts, and fears not only
define us, they are stored away and become part of us.
These experiences become familiar, and to a child who has
little with which to compare them, they seem “normal.” (Joseph,
1992, p. 6)

Isn’t it true that by their fruit you shall know

Yes, but it is also true that by their roots shall you
understand and not judge them

Dr. R. Joseph
Part II
Children, like adults, define themselves according to how they
are treated, and then they attempt to live up, or down, to the
labels and expectations others apply. It is on these emotional
building blocks that our entire self-concept is erected.
We never outgrow our foundations; rather, we build on them.
And foundations do not disappear or go away; they just tend
to get buried. Nevertheless, our entire future rests on these
foundations. (Joseph, 1992, p. 6)

Part III
Hence, a great deal of this early experience, including
children’s initial self-concept and all attendant joys, triumphs,
traumas, and bad feelings, is internalized and stored away in
that portion of the psyche that is not controlled by the
language-dependent conscious mind, that is the unconscious.
Infants and children are more emotional in their psychological
orientation. Verbal thinking and the maturation of the
conscious mind (which is heavily dependent on language and
linguistic processing) develop much later. Emotions and
nonconscious functioning are present from the very
beginning. (Joseph, 1992, p. 7)

Dr. R. Joseph
Unconscious Influences
Because of these unconscious influences, some people seek
out experiences or people who will create the same familiar
“not OK” emotional atmosphere that was an earlier part of
their existence. Even if unpleasant, the familiar is easier to
accept than what is unfamiliar. By re-creating the past, they
also get one more chance to “fix” that problem or to obtain
the love they were denied. Unfortunately, if these early
experiences are maintained predominantly in the right brain,
the left half of the adult cerebrum may have little or no
knowledge of their presence and influence. (Joseph, 1992, p. 173)

When I Was a Child……
•Children defined themselves according to how they
are treated
•They try to live up or down to the labels and
expectations others applied to them
•They are ruled by the immediacy of emotions
•They do not analyze or process their experiences in
the manner that an adult would process similar
information
Anneshia’s Unconscious Self-Concept
My value as a person is directly related to my latest and greatest performance
I have to be perfect
I have to do everything perfectly
Hurry up! Move it! I have to do everything right now – fast!
There is something wrong with me
Personal safety requires isolation
I have to compensate for my presence with goods and services
People are only tolerating me
There is something wrong with everything I do
I have to explain myself at all times because I am suspect
I am at the mercy of other people’s decisions
I am suppose to automatically know things that I was never taught
Compare to others, I come up short
The only interest a man will ever have in me is sexual
What other people think is more important than what I think or know
What other people say carries more weight than what I say
Everybody is more important than me
I am not good enough to be smart – everyone will think I cheated
I am in the way
Everything I do will turn out wrong
Dr. R. Joseph
The Unconscious Parent
The mind of the child is malleable. Impressions are easily
made and maintained. Indeed, just as an impression of
someone hand can be left in wet cement, the impressions
made by our parents also make an impression in the very
malleable, as yet unformed psyche (mind) of the child. These
linked impressions stay with us forever in the form of the
internalized Parent, which continues to exert influences
similar to those exerted by our parents, but within the
confines of our own psyche (mind) (Joseph 1992, p. 175).
Mistreats us

Dr. R. Joseph
The Unconscious Child
Just as the living tree retains its early core, within the core of
each of us is the Child that we once were. This Child
constitutes the foundation of what we have become, who we
are, and what we will be.
Although as adult we have grown, matured, had new
experiences, assumed new responsibilities, changed our
minds over a thousand times, and done and said things we
swore we never would, the Child at our central core remains
the child it always was. This Child continues to harbor the
same feelings, emotions, resentments, frustrations, and
memories that were present during childhood. It is, in fact, a
complex of the emotional and experiential associations that
constitutes a significant part of our early life.
(Joseph 1992, p. 166).

The Legacy of the Locks

The Passing of the Locks
• Osmotic conditioning
• Criticize and complain – seek no solutions – there aren’t any
• Being poor and struggling is a way of life
• Any sort of mate is better than no mate
• You can’t change your reality so change your perception of reality –
drugs/alcohol
• Thematic conditioning
• Compared to others you come up short
• Learning is associated with pain and humiliation
• Figure everything out for yourself – I’m busy
• You better get a good grade or else………………..
• A, BAM, B, BAM, C, BAM
Dr. Ed Smith
How The Lies Affect Our Adult Lives
• It affects the way we interpret life around us
• Lies affect the way we choose relationships
• Lies create perpetual life themes that replay over and over
every time the memory is accessed whether consciously or
unconsciously
• The lie will cause the pain, shame, guilt, fear, etc. to be
transferred into present relationships, hindering intimacy
• The lie will create an insatiable void which the person will
seek to fill with others things such as people, money,
careers, sex, food, pleasure, etc.

• Best drug dealer
• Best prostitute
• Best murderer
•The game – good and bad needs
What is the Game?
Dope House
• Basic – warmth, shelter, dope
• Safety – pimp, dope boys

“Hood Scripts”
Conscious and Unconscious Scripts
The Dynamic Duo
Hood Script - Unconscious
• Being poor and struggling is a way of life
• Survival is the goal
• Being involved with the system is a way of life
• Criticize and complain but don’t seek solutions –
there aren’t any
• Your value as a person is connected to material
possessions
• Higher education is not important, accessible, or
attainable – it is only part of a lofty dream speech
Conscious - Hood Script
•Your brand of gym shoe and clothing should be
your MAIN concern
•Knowing how to fight physically is a very
important skill and should be mastered
•We eat soul food
•We don’t exercise – white people stuff
•Jail/prison is a part of life
•The factory is a “GOOD” job
•The “game” is the way out
Impact of Poverty on Pregnancy
• Women living in poverty are likely
to begin having babies at an earlier
age and to have repeated
pregnancies – linked to low-birth
rates.
• Women with little education are
less likely to be aware of the risks of
smoking, alcohol, and drug use for
their babies and are more likely to
use substances.
• Less likely to have been vaccinated
against infectious diseases.
• Poverty is linked to maternal
malnutrition, higher rates of
infection, diabetes, and
cardiovascular diseases – linked to
low-birth weight.

Dr. R. Joseph - Choice
Admittedly a person is capable of choosing only what he is
able to conceive. One cannot explore a road he does not
know exists. If a person is brought up in an environment
where mom and dad are alcoholics, drug addicts, or thieves
who are on welfare or frequently in jail; in an environment
where people are shot to death for merely being on the
street; in a society that worships sex, violence, and easy
money and that mocks those who strive for something better,
such an individual may be incapable of choosing to live his life
any differently. It simply would not occur to him. It would as
alien as living on the planet Mars and is thus not an option
and is almost impossible for him to consider. (Joseph, 1992, p. 367-
368)

Dr. R. Joseph – A Way Out
Often, the only way out for individuals raised in
these circumstances is to become educated about
the alternatives available. However, they must also
be able to scrutinize their own lives so as to
recognize the maladaptive, self-destructive patterns
they have been engaging in. It will be very difficult
for them to change their behavior if they cannot
recognize it so as to avoid it. (Joseph, 1992, p. 368)
