Hopwood (2018) has returned to what occupied Cattell from the 1940s: integrating intra-and interindividual personality 'structures'. As Hopwood observed, personality psychology still suffers the 'divide' Cattell bemoaned, between quantitatively/experimentally oriented empiricists and philosophical/clinical theorists. Despite types' many limitations, Hopwood proposed a model to articulate classic 'normal' personality 'types' analogous to 'disorders'. This will be harder because there are many ways for

“…As others note (e.g. Dimaggio et al, 2007), these processes-in PD's and generally-can be understood by analysing the intra-individual organization of cognitive structures. This is what social-cognitive theories do (Cervone & Shoda, 1999).…”

“…The core of every psychotherapy is its case conceptualization because it includes an explanatory model of the development and maintenance of the disorder and is the basis of theory-based clinical decisions on intervention planning and implementation (Dudley et al, 2011). Also, it has been shown that a well-applied case conceptualization impacts symptom reduction positively (Abel et al, 2016;Easden & Fletcher, 2020;Easden & Kazantzis, 2018).…”

Background: Ecological momentary assessment (EMA) and network analysis are promising empirical developments for psychotherapy research and practice, but they lack a therapeutic rationale that could guide case conceptualization and treatment planning. Aim:We developed an assessment strategy that aims to assess functional analysis with EMA. Method:The assessment strategy was applied to a series of three N-of-1 assessments with participants with emotional disorders in a proof-of-concept study. After selecting a personalized set of items, EMA was implemented with three measurement time points per day for a period of 30 days. The participants evaluated feasibility and acceptance. Additionally, practicing psychotherapists discussed clinical implications in a focus group. Results: The implementation of the assessment strategy was feasible and accepted; participants did not report any side effects. Principal component and network analyses indicated interpretable components (e.g., participant 1: hopelessness, procrastination, coping, avoidance). The focus group appreciated the potential of the approach, but raised some questions, too. Discussion:The presented assessment strategy has the potential to enhance the scientific quality of case conceptualization empowering therapists' decision-making regarding treatment planning. At the same time, it is a concrete demonstration of the challenges that arise on the way and need to be addressed in future research.

“…Unlike meta-analysis, however, metasynthesis uses qualitative rather than statistical procedures to assess additional points of view regarding the phenomenon in question (Bondas and Hall 2007; Noblit and Hare 1988). The central body of metasynthesis deals with qualitative research (Ludvigsen et al 2016), and little has been written about how researchers can synthesize case studies (Easden and Kazantzis 2018; Iwakabe 2011; McLeod 2002; Willemsen et al 2015).…”

The Relationships Between Categories (RBC) technique is a qualitative methodology for the metasynthesis of psychoanalytic case studies. By analyzing repetitive bilateral, trilateral, or quadrilateral relationships of transference themes, this methodology seeks to analyze case studies with existing theoretical concepts, thereby formulating a new theory. The proposed tool attempts to explore and validate hidden connections between different psychotherapy components, thus enhancing integration of various bodies of knowledge and decreasing the gap between practice and theory. This methodology is demonstrated here by research on transference case studies that connect transference to components of cognitive behavioral therapy.
