“…At the theoretical level, cognitive complexity is composed of two dimensions: integration and differentiation. For many decades, RGT indices such as intensity and percentage of variance accounted for the first factor were understood as measures of integration (Bannister, ; Botella & Gallifa, ), and five studies in our review followed this line of thinking (Chadwick, ; Cipolletta & Racerro, ; Gómez & Botella, ; Martín‐Vázquez, ; Randal et al, ). However, a recent review (Kovářová & Filip, ) concluded that we can only assume that these RGT indices, used previously to explore integration, measure one dimension of cognitive complexity—differentiation—so we adhered to this interpretation for the results of our review.…”

“…The current self can also be compared with specific elements included in the grid, either role elements such as “mother” or more abstract elements such as “average psychiatric patient.” Two studies explored this issue. In a study using a mindfulness‐based intervention (Randal et al, ), patients showed increased desire for feeling recovered, as the “ideal self” became more like the “self as recovered from psychosis,” after therapy. Regarding recovery (Chadwick, ), a higher degree of recovery was found to be associated with a higher self‐ideal discrepancy and greater perceived distance from the “psychiatric patient” grid element.…”

“…Four studies explored intrapersonal differentiation. Two studies concluded that patients had lower intrapersonal differentiation after psychological interventions (Gómez & Botella, ; Randal et al, ), construing their different self‐facets as more similar. Regarding other outcomes, one study reported an association between higher degree of recovery and lower intrapersonal differentiation (Chadwick, ).…”

“…These results are consistent with the experience of self‐stigma and subjective loneliness, both connected to self‐esteem, and with the process of recovery and psychotic symptoms (Michalska da Rocha, Rhodes, Vasilopoulou, & Hutton, ; Vass et al, ). Essentially, people with a greater degree of recovery from psychosis, in contrast to people with a lesser degree of recovery, reported more positive constructions about self, and the ideal self tends to be constructed in terms of having recovered (Bell & McGorry, ; Buckley‐Walker et al, ; Chadwick, ; Randal et al, ) or “feeling normal” (Walker & Trenoweth, ). These findings support the importance of the subjective recovery of people with psychosis, which involves reconstruction of identity and meaning making (Bird et al, ), the potential of targeting subjective experiences of psychosis (Moritz et al, ), and personal recovery (Van Eck, Burger, Vellinga, Schirmbeck, & de Haan, ).…”

Current research and clinical practice in person-centred approaches highlight the importance of self, identity, and personal meanings in psychosis. Previous research has focused on dimensions of self, but less attention has been paid to the personal meanings involved in identity. The personal construct theory framework and the repertory grid technique (RGT) allow the study of identity and personal meanings within person-centred approaches of psychopathology and treatment in psychosis, as suggested by studies that began more than 40 years ago. However, their contributionshave not yet been reviewed. We aimed to systematically review the evidence for the role of identity and personal meanings in psychotic disorders. We performed a systematic search using personal construct and RGT terms in PsycINFO, Web of Science, PubMed, EBSCO, Scopus, and Google Scholar. After identifying 2,574 articles, 15 were included. Nine studies followed an idiographic assessment, and six were nomothetic. Patients reported their subjective experience of isolation in terms of high self-ideal discrepancy and high perceived discrepancy with their significant others, which some studies associated with a lower degree of recovery or with the way in which positive symptoms were construed. Self-fragmentation either decreased with interventions or was associated with recovery. Evidence regarding interpersonal construing was less consistent, but there was a tendency for patients to show a more rigid cognitive structure than controls. To conclude, we found some evidence that self-discrepancies, fragmentation of self, and interpersonal construing are affected in psychosis and potentially modifiable through psychotherapy.

The Proceedings cover different aspects of mental health research concerned with human life resource and life potential, as well as applied aspects of health psychology.The editorial policy was based on the principles of selection and reviewing of all submitted manuscripts. At the first stage all the manuscripts underwent an initial review by the Editor-in-Chief and the Editorial Board before peer-review in order to assess whether their content complied with the Conference theme. The manuscripts which did not comply with the subject matter of the Conference have been rejected. At the second stage all the manuscripts underwent a double blind review process: each work was reviewed by two experts from the Board of Reviewers; reviewing procedure was anonymous both for the experts and authors.In case of positive review results provided by both experts the contributions were included in the Editor-in-Chief Portfolio. At the third stage manuscripts underwent scientific style as well as language literacy assessment and language editing. This work was carried out by the team of Language Editors. Based on the results of the three stages of reviewing the list of the manuscripts recommended for the publication in the Conference Proceedings has been defined.The problem of assessment, prophylaxis and preserving human psychological health is of utmost importance today. Its relevance is determined, first, by the fact that both a person and his / her development as a healthy and autonomous personality represent a subject of a psychological research. Second, recent global transformations impose special requirements to the person seeking for health preservation, self-development, and self-actualisation. Among these requirements there is readiness to act in new, unpredictable conditions, to make decisions in unstable situations and to bear responsibility for one's decisions. To meet these requirements, a person should be able to see opportunities for self-development and self-fulfillment in the surrounding world, finding new meanings of his / her life activity.Existence of life resource and life potential expands the scope of any person's activities, turning the person's significant life purposes into more achievable ones. Resources are known to subjectively increase the value of a person both in his / her self-perception and in the eyes of others, making the person stronger, more prominent and proactive.Among various human resources health is a fundamental one. At the same time, life potential is not a less important characteristic, since it ensures human capacity to create, develop and use life conditions, factors and circumstances which are beneficial for an organism.Considering human health through the prism of life potential, it is necessary that the value of health within culture of its formation should be the highest, being defined not so much by the need for self-preservation but for self-improvement.The presented Proceedings are the result of both scientific studies in Psychology and fruitful and prospective long-term inte...
