Description
Summary:<p>Background: The first version of the Perrotta Human Emotions Model (PHEM) responded to the need for better structuring, in a functional framework, of emotions and sentiments, giving the proper role to anxiety, according to a neurobiological perspective, in a strategic scheme, but needs structural and functional corrections. </p><p>Methods: Clinical interview, based on narrative-anamnestic and documentary evidence, and battery of psychometric tests. </p><p>Results: Statistical comparison of data obtained by administering PHEM-1 versus data obtained by administering PHEM-2 reported an R = 0.999, with p = ≤0.001, as is the case when testing clinical utility by assessing it using MMPI-2-RF and PICI-2. </p><p>Conclusion: This research confirms the clinical usefulness of administering the PHEM-2, compared with the previous version, during psychotherapeutic encounters conducted according to the brief or otherwise integrated strategic approach.</p>
