Sulla necessità degli scopi come determinanti prossimi della sofferenza psicopatologica

Abstract

In this article one of the most signifi cant limits of Clinical Cognitivism is highlighted: the scarce relevance
attributed to “goals” in explaining psychopathology. In the standard Clinical Cognitivism the role of beliefs
and cognitive processes is highly stressed, while the role of goals in orienting the cognitive processes, and
thus, in the development and maintenance of beliefs, is neglected. It is, in current Clinical Cognitivism, the
recourse to dispositional concepts ‒ e.g. intolerance to uncertainty ‒ which appear to be more descriptive than
explanatory, and to cognitive defi cits, which are open to several criticism
