This manuscript proposes a unifying framework for psychological theories, highlighting belonging's role in psychological health.
This manuscript develops the Psychology of Belonging as a stratified ontological reconstruction of contemporary psychological theory. It integrates major paradigms—including behaviorism, psychoanalysis, cognitive-behavioral approaches, social psychology, and developmental theory—within a unified framework based on relational ontology, dual temporality (synchronic and diachronic), and imperfect belonging. The paper engages with contemporary debates in theoretical psychology, including enactivism, embodied cognition, relational approaches, and process-based therapies, while proposing a formal ontological architecture that explains both the strengths and structural limitations of existing paradigms. This manuscript is circulated as a scholarly preprint. This version may differ from a future published version.
