Abstract: This article follows up the previous one as part of the four-publication series, clarifying the list, definitions, and diagnostic criteria for primary actual capacities postulated by Nossrat Peseschkian in line with recent psychodynamic theory and practice developments. This second article addresses capacities of love and care, offering a deeper understanding of related psychodynamics of motivations, cognitions, behaviors, and relationships.
Specification of diagnostic criteria equips therapists for more accurate and objective clinical assessment, personalized interventions, development of self-help tools, and further research.
