Centeredness Theory

In psychology, Centeredness Theory or Centeredness Psychology refers to a mental health paradigm with a focus on systematic well-being in key areas of personal, family, relationship, community and work life.[1] It was first proposed by Zephyr Bloch-Jorgensen, Patrick J. Cilione, William W. H. Yeung and Justine M. Gatt and published in peer-reviewed open access scientific journal called Frontiers Media.[2] It is being used at the University of New South Wales and Prince of Wales Hospital (Sydney), Australia.[3]

In 2011 an industry partnership was created with Neuroscience Research Australia (NeuRA), an independent, not-for-profit research institute based in Sydney, Australia. The purpose was to investigate the efficacy of Centeredness Theory as an e-health measurement tool and intervention that aims to either measure or promote improved mental health[4] globally.[5] This has led to the creation of MAP which is an e-health measurement tool and intervention to measure and promote improved mental health globally[6] by measuring and improving individual and collective well-being in real-time.[7]

The theory focuses on measuring wellbeing at a systems level[8] across the core life domains of the self, family unit, relationships, community, and work.[9] The goal of this project was to validate the psychometric properties of the 60-item CT Scale against existing measures of wellbeing and mental health, including the COMPAS-W Wellbeing Scale.[10] The project included an analysis across two independent samples: 488 anonymous online respondents and 49 first-year university students.[11][12] Centeredness Psychology has helped to facilitate better interventions for public health.[13][14] For example, the "Centeredness Theory Interview"[15] is a new clinical treatment for people who have suffered traumatic brain injury.[16][17] The team members working on this project included Dr. Justine Gatt, Zephyr Bloch-Jorgensen, Patrick Cilione and William Yeung.[18]

In 2018 the study and findings were peer-reviewed successfully in Frontiers in Psychology journal.[19] In 2020, American Psychological Association reported the CT Scale and Psychological Test.[20]
