The Elementary Pragmatic Model: a new perspective in psychotherapy

Area of Science:

• Psychology
• Linguistics
• Psychotherapy

Background:

• The Elementary Pragmatic Model (EPM) offers a framework for understanding dyadic interactions.
• The Synthesis and Scission Sentences (SISCI) procedure was developed to analyze these interactions.
• Assessing the utility of EPM and SISCI for psychotherapy is a key research area.

Purpose of the Study:

• To evaluate the Elementary Pragmatic Model (EPM) and its associated SISCI Sentences procedure.
• To determine if SISCI Sentences can differentiate between normal and disturbed subjects.
• To investigate the impact of SISCI-derived sentences on non-clinical populations for potential therapeutic applications.

Main Methods:

• The study employed the "Synthesis and Scission Sentences" (SISCI) procedure for experimentation.
• An automated program was utilized to derive specific sentences from the SISCI procedure.
• Clinical case examples are presented to illustrate the application of the derived sentences.

Main Results:

• The SISCI Sentences procedure was assessed for its ability to distinguish between normal and disturbed subjects.
• The impact of automated SISCI-derived sentences on non-clinical individuals was evaluated.
• The clinical utility of sentences generated through the EPM and SISCI procedure was demonstrated through examples.

Conclusions:

• The Elementary Pragmatic Model (EPM) and SISCI Sentences show potential for differentiating psychological states.
• SISCI-derived sentences may influence both clinical and non-clinical subjects, suggesting therapeutic applicability.
• The findings support the development of new psychotherapy methods based on the EPM and SISCI procedure.
