Developing a New Model of Personality Change
Structural Relational Psychotherapy
A developing clinical model for the treatment of personality pathology, currently used at the Kimberly Center and being systematically articulated and studied through the Center for the Study of Personality Structure and Psychotherapy Process.
Structural Relational Psychotherapy (SRP) is an emerging psychotherapy model for personality pathology that integrates a structural understanding of personality with a relational approach to therapeutic action, emphasizing the therapist’s affective experience and the live therapeutic relationship as mechanisms of psychological change.

How Psychological Change Occurs
Metabolization
The process through which previously segregated or incompatible experiences of self, other, affect, and subjective reality are activated within an interpersonal context, experienced without being defensively evacuated or separated, reflected upon, and ultimately incorporated into a more complex and differentiated psychological organization.

Center for the Study of Personality Structure and Psychotherapy Process
An academic research center within The Kimberly Center for Personality Development and Integrated Healing, studying personality structure, personality pathology, and the clinical processes through which psychotherapy produces change.
Structural Relational Psychotherapy (SRP)
Overview
The Center advances theory-driven scholarship on personality structure, personality pathology, and the clinical processes through which psychotherapy facilitates psychological change.
Grounded in contemporary psychodynamic, attachment-based and integrative treatment models, it emphasises depth-oriented clinical thinking, diagnostic formulation and psychotherapy process, rather than symptom-focused or purely categorical approaches.
Areas of Focus
- Personality structure, organization, and defensive functioning
- Psychodynamic, mentalization-based, transference-focused, DBT and integrative psychotherapy models
- Clinical formulation and comparative conceptualization
- Psychotherapy process, including ruptures, enactments, countertransference, and treatment engagement
- Diagnostic complexity and instability in personality disorders
- Ethical, cultural, and relational dimensions of psychotherapy with personality pathology
Scholarship and Publications
Scholarly activity is organised around the development of peer-reviewed manuscripts and conference presentations: conceptual and theoretical papers, case-based scholarship using composite or disguised material, argument-driven literature reviews, and psychotherapy process and formulation analyses.
Training and Mentorship
The Center provides mentorship to selected graduate-level trainees and early-career clinicians with an interest in personality theory and scholarly writing. Participation is selective.
