The Revised Pathogenic Beliefs Scale
Pathogenic beliefs are maladaptive cognitive schema that may obstruct a person’s ability to achieve meaningful goals in their life. This study sought to revise a previously existing measure of pathogenic beliefs (the Pathogenic Beliefs Scale) by improving the quality of items and separating the ratings of the presence of a pathogenic belief from the distress associated with it. In Study 1 (n = 272), we used item-response theory to identify 21 ite…
Attachment disorganization and severe psychopathology
A good enough theory of psychological functioning and development, and of how psychotherapy works, should take into account recent scientific developments about emotional, motivational, and cognitive functioning. They show how human beings are "wired" to adapt to reality and share a set of evolutionarybased emotions, motivations and skills that are shaped by the cognitive-affective structures (schemas) developed on the basis of the emotionally re…
Dreaming and adaptation
The aim of this paper is to illustrate the meaning and functions of dreams according to controlmastery theory (CMT), a cognitive-dynamic relational theory developed and empirically validated in the last 40 years by the San Francisco Psychotherapy Research Group (Gazzillo, 2016; Silberschatz, 2005; Weiss, 1993a; Weiss, Sampson, & the Mount Zion Psychotherapy Research Group, 1986). CMT stresses how dreams reflect the person's efforts to adapt to re…
Patients’ unconscious testing activity in psychotherapy
The aim of this paper is to present a theoretical and empirical overview of the hypothesis that patients' behavior in psychotherapy can be understood as an expression of their efforts to disprove their pathogenic beliefs by testing them in the therapeutic relationship. According to Control-Mastery Theory (CMT; Gazzillo, 2016; Silberschatz, 2005; Weiss, 1986, 1994), psychopathology stems from unconscious pathogenic beliefs developed in response to…
How Patients Work On Their Plans and Test Their Therapists in Psychotherapy
Relying primarily on Weiss and Sampson's control‐mastery theory (Sampson, 1976 Sampson, H. 1976. A critique of certain traditional concepts in the psychoanalytic theory of therapy.. Bulletin of the Menninger Clinic, 40: 255–262. [PubMed], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar], 1991 Sampson, H. 1991. Experience and insight in the resolution of transferences..

Conceptualizing Adult Development
On the premise that human development is a lifelong process, and with awareness of certain limitations of the stage model, the authors conceptualize a new model based on developmental process. This model is offered as a basic model for the development of mental functions and structures in both childhood and adulthood
Clinical implications of research on brief dynamic psychotherapy I. Formulating the patient's problems and goals.
In this two-part series of articles, a model for understanding the process of brief dynamic psychotherapy is presented. The model suggests that patients enter therapy with an unconscious plan for how to get better. The therapist's inter ventions must be in accord with this plan for the patient to be helped by therapy. The plan concept is described, as are issues involved in inferring a patient's plan. Finally, the ramifications of the plan conce…

Comment les interpretations du therapeute peuvent promouvoir le progres du traitement. La notion de «plan» de guerison inconscient (de la part du patient) est reprise: c'est a l'interieur de ce «plan» que le therapeute place ses interpretations. Illustration du propos par des vignettes
