TO ee em le rare wwewew-vreawesses owes ws @ . oe Analyses of the text of the most recent taped communication from the SLA on the part of its spokesman, Field Marshall Cinque, indicates the following —-———general_conclusions.:__The primary problem evidenced by the communication patterns of Cinque centers around difficulties with will and decision. Cinque manifests unconscious needs for significance, power and acceptance. His communication patterns, however, are in the nature of requests. He is tentative and uncertain, introspective and insecure. He expects to fail. He is guilt.ridden and finds security in his organization displacing respon- sibility to the "oppressors" or "The Court" and “his people". He sees himself as worthless and seeks to expiate his sin through acceptance from the powerful or by the ditlution of rationalization and projected guilt. He is deferential and self-deprecating. All of Cinque's references to Hearst | aS a person use the title Mr. By contrast, all references to Hearst as the - enemy use symbolic abstractions such as Empire or Foundation, This dichotomy suggests that Hearst continue to emphasize his personal roles as a father and as a person rather than his corporate connections. Cinque seeks to mitigate the personal nature of his criminat act by rationalizing his be- havior as directed against an impersonal corporate enemy. Personalization of that enemy will add to his guilt and prevent him from carrying out his threats. References to his captive speak of her needs and wishes. She is veiwed by Cinque as an innocent and an individual. Such reactions are very encouraging, for according to my analysis, her individuality as a loved daughter is her protection from harm. The key to at least Cinque’s motiva- tions is an appeal to the over-developed conscience of Cinque and the Hearst's personal plight which is not unlike the repressions Cinque himself feels. As @ romantic, Cinque is particularly vulnerable to idealized pleas for sympathy and understanding.
