- Description
- How different individuals interpret the same interpersonal experience differently is one of the key areas of interest in psychiatry. In certain psychiatric disorders, such as major depression and schizophrenia, interpretation of interpersonal experiences become distorted leading to psychopathologies such as overvalued ideas, depressive cognitions, and delusions. The exact mechanism of this process in psychiatric disorders is poorly understood and this paper introduces a model for understanding this mechanism using Cognitive Schema Theory. The mental state of an individual is considered as a dynamic process changing from one state to another in relation to interpersonal experiences. Interpretation of an interpersonal experience is determined according to the mode of relevant cognitive schema and the current mental state. It is expected that this model may assist in improving the aetiological understanding of psychiatric disorders.
