Abstract
Diagnostic is a key step in achieving the best psychotherapeutic performances. “Mental” disorders were considered based on deeds, factors and life experiences, which had principally taken place in the past, during the first stages of human development.These events were considered the “etiology” or the main root of most behavior disorders.Up to now the essential task of psychotherapists has been to disclose and bring to conscience those unconscious deeds and experiences to yield and broaden consciousness.This was considered the main and only way to eradicate symptoms and remove or cure disorders. We intend to outline a new scheme to help to achieve wider aims. Henceforth not only experiences but also present and future possible psychological development should be spotlighted in order to face likely consequences for the consultant ́s life.This new approach should lead scientists to sharpen their minds in order to get a better understanding and foresee future scopes of overcoming difficulties or disorders.
