Cognitive-constructivist approach to psychotherapy is an approach to treatment of psychological distress and existential distress that places special emphasis on how each of us attaches subjective meaning to their experience. That is, the way in which each "build" their own knowledge of reality, and in particular the "self-knowledge" and "knowledge of self in relation to others. "
Promote an approach - primarily epistemological and methodological - constructivist type (also called "post-rationalist " or "systemic case") means putting in the foreground, always, the pivotal role of relationship in psychotherapy: therefore the centrality of emotions, and subjective experiences of the "attribution of meaning," both the patient and therapist.
The report is the place to begin any significant transformation : directly experience the relationship with the therapist can change is the ' key experience which may occur only in a climate of trust and confidence to another.
cognitive aspects are therefore "hot", imbued with emotions and motivations, to be fundamental for the patient, and it is only from a different "attribution of meaning" to these aspects of hot and then make sense to change the cognition cold ", ie the beliefs and cognitive schemas. Change only
cognition cold-related aspects of explicit and rational thought, is not in itself useless, but of limited effectiveness.
psychotherapy involves the therapist, therefore, the ability of full acceptance of others, in the entirety of his person without discrimination between good and evil.
This implies the dimension of emotional reciprocity in which the therapist must be prepared to get into the game with intensity equivalent to that of the patient and must therefore rely on a well-developed self-awareness .
The original aspect of constructivism in the context of cognitive psychology is precisely the emphasis on the subjective dimension.
In particular as regards psychopathology, which is considered central to the subjective process of "attribution of meaning" to the symptom.
mental processes, cognitive and emotional, cognitive activity to emerge as a complex system (Aspect of "systemic") which is aimed at maintaining internal consistency, even in maturity, proven in the vicissitudes and changes throughout their life cycle.
From childhood attachment relationship gradually unfolds an emotional and relational style that is an expression of a specific "organization of personal meaning" peculiar to each individual.
Just the construction of this organization allows the individual to identify with a stable identity, to give meaning to itself and its relationship with the world, despite the disruptions and changes that must inevitably encounter in their lives.
