From psychopathology to service. A new view of the clinical psychology intervention

What we have called the service idea is built using four basic parameters: (1) the project within which and by which the subjective sense of the critical issue presented by the user is defined; (2) the model of adaptation in terms of which the user sets/interprets his/her own project; the critical condition can refer to the dysfunctional value of this model (the existential costs associated with it); (3) the pattern of mental functioning according to the model of adaptation, thus the problem it feeds, which can be modeled in a psychological key; (4) the utility function implemented by the service when it promotes the enhancement of the user’s capacity to deal with the crisis and come out of it.
