Pattern System (Periodic Table for Psychology)

Pattern System (Periodic Table for Psychology) (Jay Earley, 2010s) – a psychological framework that maps behavioral patterns into 10 elemental dimensions of personality (i.e., intimacy, conflict, self-esteem, accomplishment, interpersonal boundaries, power, pleasure, spirituality, cognitive style, emotional regulation) – each of which encompasses both healthy capacities and potential dysfunctional patterns. The framework is intended to help individuals and therapists understand and transform maladaptive tendencies.
