Multiple Motivational Systems: Intervention in a Complex Case from the Transformational Modular Approach

Abstract

The present work aims to introduce us into the complexity of the multiple motivational systems posed by the Transformational Modular Approach (EMT), as well as the way in which it conceives psychopathology. The content of this paper shows the interest that falls on the understanding of serious personality disorders. It shows in the light of a clinical case the complexity that is deployed on the theorization that the EMT carries out in psychopathology. This reading pursues a deep and specific analysis, which goes beyond the nosographyc presentation of rigid and homogeneous structures. It gives us, then, a differential analysis and specificity, offering as a proposal an integrating model with different epistemological and praxeological contributions. They point out the complexity of the psychic apparatus and the possible interventions in the clinic, giving an account of subtypes of psychopathological pictures according to the dimensions that come into play and the personality structure.
