II part
Key words: theory of personality, motivational systems, psychodiagnostic models
Starting from an evaluation of the main theories of personality, the Author suggests a change of perspective which considers personality as a function and no more as a structure. As a consequence, considering the traditional (DSM) and more recently proposed psychodiagnostic systems (SWAP-200, PDM-2, STIPO), he assumes the passage from a nomothetic and categorical model to an innovative perspective that is totally idiographic and dimensional. Taking care of people’s psychological suffering requires to give importance to their Motivational Systems, to their frustrated needs and to plan a course of cure and empowerment that will improve the quality of their life.
In this way, each person will be a unique individual again, someone who writes his/her own story, different from all the others.
