Abstract:
This article describes the Elementary Pragmatic Model (EPM), that focuses on the interactions and changes that can occur between two parties. The model has undergone experimentation using the "Synthesis and Scission Sentences" procedure (SISCI Sentences) described in this work. To develop a new psychotherapy method firstly it was assessed whether the SISCI Sentences revealed differences between normal and disturbed subjects, and then whether some sentences derived from the SISCI procedure - using a specific automated program - really do have an impact even on non clinical subjects. Finally, we report some examples of clinical use of the sentences obtained with the described procedure.
