Its theory of intertype relations explains how people balance the (information) needs of the psyche through their relationships with each other.

Among socionists, the prevailing view is that sociotypes are inborn and genetically determined.

Differences between mental illness and psychiatric injury

The person who is being bullied will eventually say something like “I think I’m being paranoid…“; however they are correctly identifying hypervigilance, a symptom of PTSD, but using the popular but misunderstood word paranoia. The differences between hypervigilance and paranoia make a good starting point for identifying the differences between mental illness and psychiatric injury.

Paranoia	Hypervigilance
paranoia is a form of mental illness; the cause is thought to be internal, eg a minor variation in the balance of brain chemistry	is a response to an external event (violence, accident, disaster, violation, intrusion, bullying, etc) and therefore an injury
paranoia tends to endure and to not get better of its own accord	wears off (gets better), albeit slowly, when the person is out of and away from the situation which was the cause
