ABSTRACT
The fi rst domain is the neuropsychological (biological) domain, which I designate as L-I, and focuses on patients’ experience of their neuropsychological strengths and weaknesses – that is, their experience of the profi le of their brain functions as obtained through a neuropsychological assessment. Each person is endowed with a set of competencies that include (among others) cognitive faculties, skills, and talents (cf. Kohut, 1991), the capacity to process affect states including the capacity for self-regulation, and the ability to form attachments and to engage in a dialogue with others.
