Abstract
A holarchic theory of personality has been developed by the author to be used in the training of school-based psychologists. The theory focuses on an interpretation of motivational elements that places heavy emphasis on the affective evaluation of perceptual and cognitive processes. The Behaviour Adjustment Paradigm (BAP) was developed in conjunction with the holarchic theory for the purpose of providing a visual model of the relationship between behaviour and adjustment. It is designed for use in establishing treatment strategies in therapy, behaviour management techniques for the inculcation of effective discipline programmes, and as a planning model for preventive mental health programming in educational and other social institutions.
