The therapy is rooted in the interpersonal theories of Adolph Meyer and Harry Stack Sullivan, as well as John Bowlby's attachment theory, and focuses on the interplay between interpersonal relationships and emotional well-being.

Summary

This study introduces interpersonal inter-identities (IIIs), which are emergent patterns of stable, evolving social interaction. These patterns, shaped by enhabiting and coenhabiting processes, define collective becoming beyond the individual.

Area of Science:

  • Cognitive Science
  • Social Psychology
  • Philosophy of Mind

Background:

  • Traditional identity theories focus on the individual.
  • Social interaction shapes individual and collective experiences.
  • Enactive cognitive science offers a framework for understanding embodied cognition.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a novel view of identity beyond the individual, termed interpersonal inter-identities (IIIs).
  • To explore the emergence of IIIs through enactive cognitive science.
  • To introduce and define the concepts of enhabiting and coenhabiting.

Main Methods:

  • Conceptual development of interpersonal inter-identities (IIIs).
  • Application of enactive cognitive science principles.
  • Introduction of 'enhabiting' and 'coenhabiting' concepts, including 'optimal grip' and 'co-optimal grip'.

Main Results:

  • IIIs emerge from recurrent social interactions as stable, evolving patterns of collective being.
  • Enhabiting describes individual processes stabilizing habits and personal identity.
  • Coenhabiting describes social processes leading to the development of IIIs.

Conclusions:

  • Identity can be understood as a dynamic, relational phenomenon beyond the individual.
  • IIIs are autonomous structures with self-regulation norms, emerging from social interaction.
  • The study provides a new framework for understanding collective identity and social dynamics.
