It relies on the MAPP, an evidence-based theory that works as a unifying framework in clinical psychology.<\/p><p>The MAPP adopts a cognitive-clinical perspective and an engineering approach. It builds upon the achievements of Standard Attachment Theory (SAT) and enhances it by focusing on the informational and dimensional nature of attachment. On this basis, it expands the well-established cognitive-evolutionary clinical theory, thereby providing a framework that integrates both relational and cognitive aspects.<\/p><p>The theoretical foundation of this project is presented in detail in the book &#8216;Programming The Mind: The Seven Dimensions of Attachment in Personality and Psychopathology&#8217; by Marcantonio Gagliardi.<\/p><p>The MAPP is conceived both as a falsifiable and applicable theory. On the one hand, its development is based on empirical testing and, on the other, its application is immediate. In fact, testing and practical use coincide in many ways. This is the case of the two main applications presented here: The MAPP Questionnaire-Interview (MAPP-QI) and a MAPP-Based Computational Model of Attachment. Both applications work as empirical testing of the theory.\u00a0<\/p><p>The MAPP-QI is an innovative AI-assisted interpretative questionnaire that works both as a personality inventory and a clinical tool. <span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">The MAPP-Based Computational Model of Attachment is an agent-based model of the interactions between child and caregiver. In its current implementation, it simulates avoidant, ambivalent, and phobic interactions. The model provides the basis for the design of attachment-capable artificial intelligence.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p>In the next 3 sections, we present both the theory and its applications.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-d07e6a0\" data-id=\"d07e6a0\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1f52d33 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"1f52d33\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">3 Areas of Research &amp;

MAPP stands for Mind Architecture, Personality, and Psychopathology and, indeed, it represents a general theoretical framework in Clinical Psychology able to offer the common ground necessary to integrate the different and valuable contributions from all schools and orientations. Moreover, the engineering approach embraced by the MAPP gives a methodological direction for the further development of such contributions.<\/p><p style=\"font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400;\">The MAPP focuses on the psychological differences between individuals caused by the information they acquire and process, assuming a healthy organic state.

Its description and explanation of mental functioning are compliant with the architecture of the mind, which is seen as both an information processor and control system.<\/p><p>As a result, the theory is particularly suitable for computational implementation. Such an application has been realized by building an agent-based model of the attachment interactions between a child and their caregiver with respect to 3 dimensions: avoidance, ambivalence, and phobicity.<\/p><p>The resulting patterns of behavior \u2013 simply outlined by two dots on a screen \u2013 powerfully convey the idea of a personality trait. This application is the first step towards the creation of AI capable of attaching and giving care.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-9375952\" data-id=\"9375952\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5b240a3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"5b240a3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"\/reprog-works\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/ptm.psyintex.ai\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/PTM_HOME_09_1448x1086-1024x768.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-8531\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ptm.psyintex.ai\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/PTM_HOME_09_1448x1086-1024x768.png 1024w, https:\/\/ptm.psyintex.ai\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/PTM_HOME_09_1448x1086-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/ptm.psyintex.ai\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/PTM_HOME_09_1448x1086-768x576.png 768w, https:\/\/ptm.psyintex.ai\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/PTM_HOME_09_1448x1086-16x12.png 16w, https:\/\/ptm.psyintex.ai\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/PTM_HOME_09_1448x1086.png 1448w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e39e101 elementor-align-start elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-hidden-phone elementor-icon-list--layout-traditional elementor-list-item-link-full_width elementor-widget elementor-widget-icon-list\" data-id=\"e39e101\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"icon-list.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul class=\"elementor-icon-list-items\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"elementor-icon-list-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"\/ai\/#Eqs\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-text\">1.
