Claim: Guidano, an Italian neuropsychiatrist who was also the first president of the Italian Society of Behavioural and Cognitive Therapy (SITCC), created the cognitive post-rationalist model based on the attachment theory, evolutionary epistemology, and the complex systems theory.
Evidence: Vittorio Filippo Guidano (August 4, 1944, Rome, Italy – August 31, 1999, Buenos Aires, Argentina) was an Italian neuropsychiatrist, creator of the cognitive procedural systemic model and contributor to post-rationalist constructivist cognitive psychotherapy. He was the first president of the Italian Society of Behavioural and Cognitive Therapy (SITCC) and he co-founded the Institute of Post-Rationalist Psychology and Psychotherapy (IPRA). His cognitive post-rationalist model was influenced by attachment theory, evolutionary epistemology, complex systems theory, and the prevalence of abstract mental processes proposed by Friedrich Hayek.
