Selfcritical individuals are described as being overly preoccupied with self-defi nition, control and perfection, while dependent individuals are mainly preoccupied with fears for abandonment and loss (Luyten, Blatt, Van Houdenhove, & Corveleyn, 2006).…”

This study investigates the role of self-criticism and dependency in inpatient post-partum depressed women (n = 55) and non-depressed controls (n = 37) as well as the relationship between both personality dimensions and severity of depression and anxiety. As expected, mothers with post-partum depression showed not only increased levels of depression but also anxiety compared with non-depressed mothers. Furthermore, they had significantly higher levels of self-criticism, but not of dependency. In the post-partum depressed mothers, both personality dimensions were positively associated with severity of depression. However, in non-depressed mothers, self-criticism was positively associated with depression, while there was an inverse relationship between dependency and severity of depression. In both samples, self-criticism, but not dependency, was related to state anxiety. The cross-sectional nature of this study limits the ability to draw causal conclusions. The study was based on self-report and conducted in relatively small samples.

“…However, that unitary model of depression has been challenged by the lack of homogeneity in MDD symptomatology [e.g., 164,165,166], which has implications for the ways in which MDD may present. Ostergaard et al [167] noted that there are 1,497 possible combinations of the MDD criteria that meet the DSM-5 requirements, which suggests that these MDD symptoms may cluster into specific "subtypes" of depression.…”

“…Empirical research has provided evidence for the conceptual and empirical overlap of SDT's focus on autonomy/competence and relatedness with the other two-polarities models (Luyten Blatt, 2006;Soenens, Park, Vansteenkiste, & Mouratidis, 2012;Zuroff, Koestner, Moskowitz, McBride, & Bagby, 2012).…”

“…The extensive empirical research that ensued based on these formulations has provided considerable evidence for differences in both current and early life experiences associated with these two dimensions (Blatt & Homann, 1992;Soenens, Vansteenkiste, & Luyten, 2010), as well as major differences in basic personality style (Blatt & Luyten, 2009), relational and attachment style (Luyten & Blatt, 2011;Luyten, Corveleyn, & Blatt, 2005), and the influence on the clinical expression of psychopathology (Blatt, 1974(Blatt, , 2004Luyten, Blatt, Van Houdenhove, & Corveleyn, 2006) and treatment response (Blatt, Zuroff, Hawley, & Auerbach, 2010) associated with these dimensions.…”

Extant research suggests there is considerable overlap between so-called two-polarities models of personality development, that is, models that propose that personality development evolves through a dialectic synergistic interaction between two key developmental tasks across the life span -the development of self-definition on the one hand and of relatedness on the other. These models have attracted considerable research attention and play a central role in DSM planning. This paper provides a researcher-and clinician-friendly guide to the assessment of these personality theories. We argue that current theoretical models focus on issues of relatedness and self-definition at different hierarchically organized levels of analysis, that is, (a) at the level of broad personality features, (b) at the motivational level, that is, the motivational processes underlying the development of these dimensions, and (c) at the level
