     Analysis can be perverse when people are fixated upon
analysis as a fix in the manner of an addict.   People can
be  addicted  to analysis as a means  to  control  through
analytic understanding.  Addictive analysis often leads to
separation  and   alienation,   but  rarely   to   healthy
connections and integration.

     Addictive analysis is often violent;   violating  the
integrity  of some object of analysis through a refusal to
respect  the integrity of the whole as  a  mysterious/holy
whole  by  regarding it only in terms of  the  parts  into
which it is analyzed.   The object of analysis may not  be
just an object,  but it is treated as being just an object
rather than as being sacred/holy as a whole.

     The  dictum  of  addictive analysis  is  "divide  and
conquer".   Connections, dialogue, communications, honesty
and  other  integrities which might stand in  the  way  of
conquest  must  be  destroyed  in order  to  conquer,   so
division   is  accomplished through analysis  which  shows
no respect for the whole's integrity.

     Addictive  analysis  is  justified in  terms  of  the
fruits   of  healthy  analysis  which  serves  people   in
integrative  ways---in keeping with integrative ideals and
values   which   are  incarnate  in   balanced   ways   in
people/communities  of integrity.   The  justification  of
addictive  analysis  is thus dishonest and does not  merit
respect or support.

     Addictive  analysis  sees reality only  in  terms  of
elementary  parts regarded as the essential elements of  a
whole reality.    In  the  view of  addictive analysts the
integrity of the whole is to be understood in terms of the
most  elementary  parts  into  which  the  whole  can   be
analyzed---by  addictive  analysts who  are  fixated  upon
analysis.

     The   fact   that  addictive  analysts   succeed   in
fulfilling  their  analytic visions does  not  prove  that
their visions lead to personal and communal integrity; for
their  visions  do  not  include  personal  and   communal
integrity.   Their  visions are exclusively analytic,  not
integrative.   Thus  their  visions  often  lead  to  dis-
integration---rather than to integration,  integrity,  and
health.
