To find these explanations in a particular case, it is necessary first to infer the person's unconscious plan, which always has as its ultimate goal that of trying to sumount unsatisfying adaptations learned earlier in one's life. To achieve this goal one also solicites help from others by means of behavior enactments that only APPEAR confusing (or stretegically designed as antipathetic tactics) to persons who do not decode the communicative meaning of the enactments with reference to the person's specific unconssious plan. This is all explained in elegant clarity and in much more detail (that includes highly relevant clinical examples) in Joseph Weiss's book HOW PSYCHOTHERAPY WORKS.
From the point of view of Control Mastery Theory there are clear, useful, and benevolent explanations for why someome would behave to create confusion and uncertainty in others who may try to predict one's behavior. That is, CMT has very useful explanations for why someone would communicate interpersonally with symtomatic behavioral enactments.
