Abstract

The construct of Personal Meaning Organization represents a resource of Cognitivism for its great potentiality in explaining the processes underlying identity; especially regarding its development within the attachment processes and the emotional-cognitive structure that characterizes it. An identity can articulate its self at a normal, neurotic or psychotic level with different psychopathological outcomes. Descriptive and explicative psychopathology are used for the diagnosis and afterwards for the definition of a therapeutic project. The aim of this article is to present remarks about recent developments of the Constructivist Postrationalist Model, with a special focus on the possibility of formalizing an explicative psychopathology of Personality Disorders.
