In the theoretical appraisal of the paranoid process, which we are attempting here, the notion of paranoid construction occupies a central position. It is intended to describe the central cognitive organization which both characterizes and derives from the paranoid process. However, it is also that aspect of the paranoid process which, perhaps more than any other, establishes its links and lines of continuity with other realms of human experience.
在我们试图对偏执过程进行的理论评估中,偏执建构的概念占据了中心地位。它旨在描述中心认知组织,其既具有偏执过程的特征,又源于偏执过程。然而,也是偏执过程的这个方面,也许比任何其他方面,都更能与人类经验的其他领域建立联系和连续性。
In our previous description of paranoid construction, I described it as a cognitive process, by which incoming impressions are organized into a pattern of meaning which is primarily validated by reference to subjective needs rather than objective evidence or consensual agreement. I would specify in addition that another important parameter of the paranoid construction is that it involves an intrinsic reference to the individual's self-system.
在我们之前对偏执建构的描述中,我将其描述为一种认知过程,通过这种认知过程,传入的印象被组织成一种意义模式,这种模式主要通过 参考主观需求 而不是 客观证据或共识 来验证。我还要特别指出,偏执建构的另一个重要参数是,它涉及到个体自体系统的内在参考。
The paranoid construction, then, serves the very important function of providing a context of meaningful interaction and experience which provides a framework for the meaningful definition of self, as well as a setting in which the self is enabled to achieve a sense of congruence and belonging. Seeing the paranoid construction in this light makes it obvious, in addition, that the paranoid construction serves important functions relevant to the maintenance of self-esteem. Our objective at this point in our discussion is to establish the links of the paranoid construction to other basic aspects of human cognition, as well as to specify its role in the functioning of human personality.
因此,偏执建构起着非常重要的作用,它提供了一个有意义的互动和体验的环境,为自体有意义的定义提供了一个框架,同时也提供了一个环境,在这个环境中,自体能够获得一种一致性和归属感。此外,从这个角度来看偏执建构,就可以清楚地看出,偏执建构在维持自尊方面具有重要的功能。此刻看我们讨论的目的是建立偏执建构与人类认知的其他基本方面的联系,并明确其在人类人格功能中的作用。
