Per una metodologia della regolazione emozionale basata su principi psicodinamici.

Abstract


Differenti modelli di psicoterapia provenienti dai più svariati orientamenti teorici hanno nel tempo incorporato principi e tecniche per migliorare la regolazione emozionale del paziente. Tuttavia, nell’ambito della psicoterapia psicodinamica, un chiaro tentativo di integrazione con le conoscenze derivanti dalla scienza della regolazione emozionale non è ancora stato fatto. Noi crediamo che la scienza psicodinamica possa offrire interessanti riflessioni su: 1) cosa debba essere regolato durante la regolazione emozionale e 2) come ciò debba essere fatto (strategie e tecniche). In linea con i principi psicodinamici, noi sosteniamo che la regolazione debba essere rivolta a due aspetti fondamentali di ogni condizione psicopatologica: l’eccessiva ansia elicitata dall’emergere di emozioni; e gli affetti difensivi, ovvero stati affettivi secondari creati dall’utilizzo di meccanismi di difesa patologici che sostituiscono e coprono le emozioni originarie. Lo scopo della terapia è di regolare questi stati affettivi (regolazione emozionale propriamente detta, RE), e nel frattempo aiutare il paziente ad accedere, elaborare ed esprimere  le emozioni primarie o reattive allo stimolo (esperienza emozionale, EE). Dopo alcune considerazioni teoriche, verrà proposta una metodologia di regolazione emozionale basata su principi psicodinamici ed esperienziali e una serie di tecniche che il clinico può utilizzare nel trattamento degli stati affettivi disregolati, e che lo sperimentatore può testare nel laboratorio.
