    • Abstract:
      This paper further develops the concept of the self as experiential being, and its relevance for an understanding of psychopathology. It is proposed that the self, or 'I', processes and regulates its experiences by means of three modalities that are dynamically interrelated throughout life: exchanges/boundaries, internal mirroring/affective awareness, and the representational space. It is further proposed that pathology develops when these processes of self-regulation go wrong. As a result, different psychopathological positions are identified which, in the case of severe disorders, require a distinctive initial approach to therapy.
