“…Pre-treatment assessments based on interpersonal problems, self-relatedness, and symptom self-reports may help guide effective diagnosis, prognosis and treatment planning strategies. Patients of the Socially Inhibited and Nonassertive Octant Groups (comprising nearly 40% of the present sample) share common features, that is, high levels of interpersonal problems in general (IIP Global), high Intensity of interpersonal problems, high levels of phobic anxiety, and low levels of hostility and paranoid ideation (Bjerke et al, 2011(Bjerke et al, , 2014). The present study shows that these patients also are the most affected with regard to poor Self-Acceptance, which probably indicates that these patients will need more time to change than patients located on the warm side of the IPC.…”

Interpersonal-and self-relatedness problems are strongly correlated on a global level. However, few studies have examined associations between distinct forms of interpersonal problems and specific types of problems in self-relatedness. We hypothesized that patients with domineering interpersonal problems would exhibit a more positive self-image than patients with submissive interpersonal features. We also wanted to examine if the self-hostile and self-accepting aspects of patients' self-relatedness were differentially associated with their interpersonal problems. A large clinical outpatient sample (N = 958) was divided into eight subgroups (Octant Groups) of patients with different predominant interpersonal problems, as measured with the 64 item version of the Inventory of Interpersonal Problems-IIP-64. Self-relatedness was measured with the Introject surface of the Structural Analysis of Social Behavior-SASB Introject. ANCOVA analyses showed that patients with more positive and self-accepting self-images displayed domineering, but also warmer forms of interpersonal problems than peers with more negative self-images. Dividing the self-relatedness variable into Self-Hostile and Self-Accepting components yielded a new finding: patients within different interpersonal Octant Groups differed significantly with regard to Self-Acceptance, but not with respect to Self-Hostility. The former component may be reflective of a more stable personality feature than Self-Hostility, thereby rendering it less susceptible to change.

“…When these interpersonal problems are applied to the circumplex model, they can be organized in counter-clockwise order, starting from the top, as domineering, vindictive, cold, socially avoidant, nonassertive, exploitable, overly-nurturant, and intrusive ( Figure 3) (Alden et al, 1990;Horowitz, Alden, Wiggins, & Pincus, 2000). Clinical samples of outpatients, also in Norway, typically have most of their problems in the nonassertive, exploitable, and overly-nurturant area in the circumplex (Bjerke, Hansen, Solbakken, & Monsen, 2011;Horowitzet al, 1993;Puschner, Kraft, & Bauer, 2004).…”

Contrary to what we expected, short-term therapy induced a significantly larger early change than long-term therapy on the cold subscale and there was a trend on the socially avoidant subscale, using a Bonferroni-adjusted alpha. There was no significant difference between short-term and long-term group therapy for improving problems in the areas cold, socially avoidant, nonassertive, exploitable, and overly nurturant over the 3 years.

“…Interpersonal problems are common among patients with psychiatric disorders and especially patients with depression ( Barrett and Barber, 2007 ; Bjerke et al, 2011 ). Many patients show interpersonal rumination involving analyzing and anticipating distress in relational situations that could involve being offended, criticized, and humiliated ( Ottavi et al, 2016 ).…”

Metacognitive Therapy for Depression Reduces Interpersonal Problems: Results From a Randomized Controlled Trial

et al. 2018

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Interpersonal problems are significantly elevated in patients with depression. Metacognitive therapy (MCT) for depression does not address interpersonal problems but is associated with large reduction in depressive symptoms. The main aim of the current study was to explore whether MCT leads to improvements in interpersonal problems in patients with depression. The study was a waitlist controlled trial and assessments took place at pre- and post-treatment as well as 6-month follow-up. At pre-treatment, the sample had more interpersonal problems compared to samples from other studies of psychiatric outpatients. MCT was associated with large reductions in interpersonal problems. Level of interpersonal problems were not related to poorer treatment response. MCT, which does not directly target interpersonal problems, worked well for patients with depression and interpersonal problems. Future research should compare MCT with other evidence-based treatments for patients with depression and interpersonal problems.
