Multifocal intelligence is a theory created by the psychiatrist and psychotherapist Augusto Cury, which explains how we construct thoughts and the effects this has on our emotional well-being.
It is an existential approach, whose main objective is to learn to manage the mind constructively.
- The way we think.
- Including how we process the information we have access to.
- Would decisively influence how we position ourselves in the world.
- From there.
- We would develop attitudes and behaviors.
So, if we use multifocal intelligence correctly, we will be able to manage the production of thoughts, which will result in more constructive attitudes and behaviors focused on more positive goals for ourselves.

Multifocal intelligence is defined as the result of the interaction between psychodynamic structures present in the mind.
Simply put, there are a number of processes that take place in our brains and the way they relate to each other results in what we call intelligence, from the point of view of multifocal theory.
The processes that occur in multifocal intelligence are
The being or the self is the entity that directs and manages all these processes, that is, all can be consciously directed.
The theory suggests that this must be done when doing critical analysis, this allows us to see the facts from different points of view, and also allows us to give new meaning to everything that negatively affects us.
The theory of multifocal intelligence is based on philosophy and existential psychology, as well as archetypal psychoanalysis, it is a perspective that, in a way, seeks to save logical thinking.
From there, it is possible to analyze how some thoughts seem derived from others, in a chain. In this design, the positive thing is that we could intervene in a link in the chain and then generate inertia.
What the theory proposes is to question, challenge and criticize all the disturbing thoughts that come to mind, this would be the result of an emotional, conscious and unconscious story.
Under this approach, agonizing thoughts and anticipated suffering take only five seconds to mark our brains.
This disc is in the cerebral cortex and opens a “window”, that is, a destructive perspective. If, for example, we have a public presentation and think we’re going to do it wrong, in just five seconds a perspective will be built. , in which we will begin to anticipate a series of negative situations, setting up destructive emotions in parallel.
If we face this scenario with rational thinking, does the theory hold that we will be able to prevent it?Window? Open. It also foresees that, with time and practice, we will be able to acquire enough skills to avoid the very negative thoughts that would be the origin of the rest.
Augusto Cury proposes different actions to form multifocal intelligence, which involve taking a short break and becoming aware of the thoughts that motivate our actions. It’s called, Management? Or “administration” of thought.
The recommended actions are
All of this is a way of educating thought and, in the same way, transforming destructive emotions. Over time, according to this theory, all of this must lead to a smarter, more peaceful, peaceful and constructive life.
