Psychopathology It is not being ignorant nor in error that constitutes psychopathology, it is the persistence of such ignorance and error in the face of sometimes massive and repetitive dysfunctionality, and in spite of the potentially desperate efforts of intelligent, motivated, and creative individuals to change. The paradigmatic form of psychopathology is the individual who even understands the pattern of his or her dysfunctionality, but whose every attempt to change that pattern manages to perpetuate it. Psychopathology is rigidity, which is manifested by autoprotectiveness, which is instantiated by a core central terror concerning the self, which can have a number of additional forms and properties, such as being self constitutive and inauthentic, and being implicit in webs of experiential ways of being. www.lehigh.edu /~mhb0/psychopath.html   (11465 words)

Character, Psychopathology, and Development When the contact boundary is disturbed outside awareness, we become unable to distinguish the field as fully as we would be able to if the boundary had not been altered; we may mistake one thing for another and miss certain other things altogether. Gestalt therapists are inclined by their training to consider pathology as emergent in the therapeutic process, to be encountered as it appears, not before.
