Abstract

In this study we will show how to conceptualize a Borderline Personality Disorder case with sexual perversions in terms of Interpersonal Motivational Systems and of Metacognitive functioning models, in order to allow a more targeted and effective clinical treatment. To this end, after a theoretical discussion we will analyse some psychotherapy transcripts.
In order to support our reflections and therapeutic choices we decided to refer to the metacognitive functioning model according to the Metacognitive- Interpersonal model (Semerari, 1999b; Dimaggio and Semerari, 2003; Carcione et al., 2008; Dimaggio et al., 2008; Dimaggio et al., 2009) and to the Interpersonal Motivational Systems theory within the Cognitive-Evolutionary model (Lichtenberg, 1989; Lichtenberg, Lachman and Fosshage, 1992, 1996; Liotti, 2001, 2005; Liotti, Cortina and Dazzi, 2008).
