The Judge also is a valuable concept enabling us to distinguish between deep warm spirituality and cold"Judgy" morality in various religions and cultures. True spirituality is felt as warm, nurturing, and life-affirming and life-supporting. It is also experienced as having a very solid feel to it. A spiritually solid person feels solid to the core of his/her being, whereas a person with cold, "Judgy" morality is experienced as empty of feelings and very threatening. Usually in such a person, there is a history of maternal deprivation and emptiness which is clearly seen in drawings and clay sculpts. There is often a sense of deadness of feeling and numbness of sensation.
The emotionally deprived and empty individual tends to be much more vulnerable to the impact of the Judge. The messages and expectations of the Judge are either internalized leading to depression, despair, and self-destruction or externalized leading to aggressive homicidal acting out. With the Judge concept, we now have a significant new clinical concept and set of treatment techniques to more effectively treat and defuse this destructive and lethal component in personality.

Very interesting concept. "The Judge" is a very suiting name to all those negative patterns we hold within.
