We are pleased to share the publication of the scientific article by Roza Fileva-Hadzhova, psychotherapist at Emotional Consult, in the international peer-reviewed scientific journal The Global Psychotherapist – the official publication of the World Association for Positive and Transcultural Psychotherapy (WAPP).

The Scientific Work of Roza Fileva-Hadzhova in The Global Psychotherapist

The article, titled "Transformations of Anger: An Integrative Model for Clinical Work with Greed, Envy, Jealousy, and Guilt", presents an integrative model for understanding four complex human experiences – greed, envy, jealousy, and guilt – and their place in the psychotherapeutic process.

An Integrative Model for Working with Greed, Envy, Jealousy, and Guilt

The work connects concepts from Positive and Transcultural Psychotherapy with the psychodynamic theory of object relations. At the center of the model is the relationship between anger and its transformations into experiences such as greed, envy, jealousy, and guilt.

Positive and Transcultural Psychotherapy and Object Relations Theory

The model integrates various psychotherapeutic perspectives, combining concepts from Positive and Transcultural Psychotherapy with ideas developed within the psychodynamic theory of object relations.

This integrative approach allows complex emotional experiences to be viewed not as isolated phenomena, but as part of a broader system of internal conflicts, relationships, and coping strategies.

From the Scientific Model to Clinical Practice

The developed model also has applications in clinical work. It offers the opportunity for a deeper understanding of the experiences underlying manifestations of greed, envy, jealousy, and guilt, and of how they can be explored within the psychotherapeutic process.

The Scientific Approach in Psychotherapeutic Practice

The publication is the result of many years of professional experience, scholarly interest, and a commitment to integrating diverse psychotherapeutic perspectives.

At Emotional Consult, we believe that psychotherapeutic practice evolves through a continuous dialogue between clinical experience, scientific knowledge, and the professional community. Scientific work is a natural part of professional development and an opportunity for practice to be grounded in a deep understanding of the human psyche.

The publication of the article in The Global Psychotherapist is an important step in the development of this direction and an opportunity for the model to be presented to the international psychotherapeutic community.
