Everything is already inside there!
The researcher Jamel Bulgaria has released a comprehensive suite of open-science publications that establish the Core Emotion Framework (CEF) as a groundbreaking model for emotional regulation, psychological resilience, and clinical application. Hosted across Zenodo and OSF, these works represent one of the most ambitious solo efforts to bridge theory, practice, and validation in contemporary psychology.
📚 Highlights of the Corpus
Foundational Theory
- Theoretical Synthesis (Zenodo) integrates affective neuroscience, embodied cognition, and strategic regulation.
- Structural Resolution of the Nature–Nurture Dichotomy reframes human development through affective actualization.
- Structural Constructivist Dynamics of Emotional Actualization critiques typology and introduces mechanisms of structural disassembly.
Validation & Methodology
- Open Validation Proposal and Pre-Registration Protocol establish transparent pathways for empirical testing of the CEF scale.
Clinical Applications
- Targeted analyses extend CEF to anxiety, OCD, depression, borderline personality disorder, and narcissistic personality disorder, offering mechanistic comparisons with DBT and Schema Therapy.
Neurocognitive Mechanisms
- Dynamic Interplay of Affective Computation and Executive Control explores scalar mechanisms at the intersection of cognition and emotion.
Practitioner Resources
- Compendium of Evidence-Based Psychotherapy Modalities reframes established treatments through the lens of CEF, providing actionable insights for clinicians.
🌍 Significance
Together, these publications form a modular, open-science corpus designed for accessibility, transparency, and practitioner relevance. By combining theoretical synthesis, methodological rigor, and clinical application, Bulgaria positions the Core Emotion Framework as a candidate solution to enduring puzzles in psychology — from the nature–nurture debate to the structural dynamics of psychopathology.
🔗 Access
