Expanded Axiological Diagnostics for the HVP

Abstract

This discussion begins with my first clinical job using the Hartman Value Profile (HVP) under the direction of a group of psychiatrists in Knoxville, Tennessee from 1977 to 1980. Then, I show how I have partially fulfilled my vision for the developing formal axiology in elaborating multiple dimensional constructs in the hierarchy of value that underlies the Hartman Value Profile (HVP). I explore both the BASE (value) and the EXPONENT (valuation) dimensional measurement constructs in the logical hierarchy upon which the Hartman Value Profile (HVP) is based. I review where these constructs are located in the value hierarchy and how they are grouped. I show how the BASE (value) and the EXPONENT (valuation) constructs within the value hierarchy completing the linkage of the phenomenological cogito-cogitatum analytic (cca), the foundation of human conscious awareness. Then, I articulate the common names of the constructs and show how they are applied in practice according to data collected to date.
