Philosophy:Centeredness Theory

From HandWiki

Centeredness Theory (CT), used in psychology, mental health, and the treatment of traumatic brain injury, is a systems model of individual and workplace wellbeing.[1][2] It was proposed by Zephyr Bloch-Jorgensen, Patrick J. Cilione, William W. H. Yeung and Justine M. Gatt and published in peer-reviewed open access scientific journal, Frontiers Media.[3] The theory addresses drivers of wellbeing and their interrelations across five core life domains—the self, family, relationships, community, and work.[1][4] It applies an open-systems perspective of human functioning to propose that an individual’s wellbeing[5] and self-actualization[6](centeredness) are facilitated when experiencing balance and compatibility of goals within and between these five domains.[1]

The theory spawned the development of a free digital health intervention and online assessment tool, Meta-Analysis Profile (MAP), conceptualized by Zephyr Bloch-Jorgensen and developed by MAP Biotech.[7][8][9][10]

Centeredness theory is currently used to guide clinical interviews and support goal setting among populations suffering from traumatic brain injuries and aphasia by scientists at the University of Kentucky and Atlanta’s Center for Disease Control.[11]

In 2011 an e-health industry partnership study was created with Neuroscience Research Australia (NeuRA), an independent, not-for-profit research institute based in Sydney, Australia. This partnership aimed to measure and improve mental health using the Centeredness Theory framework.[12]

The theory focuses on measuring wellbeing at a systems level[13] across the core life domains of the self, family unit, relationships, community, and work.[14] The goal of this project was to validate the psychometric properties of the 60-item CT Scale against existing measures of wellbeing and mental health, including the COMPAS-W Wellbeing Scale.[15] The project included an analysis across two independent samples: 488 anonymous online respondents and 49 first-year university students.[16][17] Centeredness Psychology has helped to facilitate better interventions for public health.[18][19] For example, the "Centeredness Theory Interview"[20] is a new clinical treatment for people who have suffered traumatic brain injury.[21][22] The team members were Dr. Justine Gatt, Zephyr Bloch-Jorgensen, Patrick Cilione and William Yeung.[23]

In 2018 the study and findings were peer-reviewed successfully in Frontiers in Psychology journal.[24] In 2020, American Psychological Association reported the CT Scale and Psychological Test.[25]
