Intrapsychic Restructuring (IR) is the Intrapsychic-Biological Substrate

Definition:

Intrapsychic Restructuring (IR) comprises a large body of treatment techniques and sub-methods (Defensive Restructuring, Cognitive Restructuring, Affective Restructuring, Cognitive-behavioral Restructuring & Neurobiological Restructuring) designed to reorganize and restructure processes/structures/functions that operate within the mind/brain of the individual. Thus, IR operates primarily at Level I (intrapsychic-biological matrix) of the total ecological system and is thus the most microscopic perspective of analysis. Within this level techniques which impact cognitive, relational, and attachment schemata, affective-defensive processes, anxiety regulation, and neurobiological functions.

Function:

To enhance the adaptive processing of the cognitive-affective-defensive operating system within the intrapsychic domain level of the individual..

Goals of Restructuring:

Create enhanced differentiation and integration among components of the intrapsychic system including neurobiological networks, defense-anxiety-affect loops, limbic system regulation etc

• Subtypes of Intrapsychic Restructuring:

1. Defensive Restructuring
2. Cognitive Restructuring
3. Affective Restructuring
4. Cognitive-Behavioral Restructuring
5. Neurobiological Restructuring

Methods & Techniques:

• Defensive Restructuring: Focus on defensive operations
• Cognitive Restructuring: Focus on cognitive schema, templates, and beliefs
• Affective Restructuring: Focus on affective process and emotional experiencing
• Cognitive-Behavioral Restructuring: Focus on behavioral, cognitive-affective experience and learning
• Neurobiological Restructuring: Focus on neurobiological pathways, states and neurodynamic processes
