Abstract(s)

The behavioral proposals therapy model is a relational, systemic, and pragmatic approach to psychotherapy. It is centered on the interpersonal communication process and aims at modifying disfuncional relational dispositions both in families (or other natural groups) and in individuais. Persons are conceptualized as hierarchical organizations of, at least, four sub-systems with four specific interfaces: (1) organism - environment, (2) subject - object, (3) individual - society, and (4) personal spirit - culture. It is argued that most psychotherapeutical models are reducionistic because they center only in one such interfaces. Any psychotherapeutical process is mediated by the communication process. The touchstone of the present model is to consider only the pragmatic aspect of human communication on the basis that it is much more determinative of what goes on between two (or more) persons than the semantic or the sintaxic aspects. It is assumed that interpersonal interaction is basicaily a chain of behavioral proposals in wich one person is allaways telling the other how he or she should behave and vice versa. The elementíuy pragmatic model of interacting subjects (De Giacomo & Silvestri, 1981) is developed in terms of, and illustrated with, both individual and famiiy therapy instances. Some new directions are discussed, specifically, a new relational test - KALTEST - and simulation essays made by the author and collaborators.
