“…For example, physical growth is inhibited when the child is overwhelmed by an abusive home life. Growth is retarded because the child's energies and behavior are directed toward survival, not growth (Drotar & Sturm, 1991;Money, 1992;Money, Annecillo, & Hutchinson, 1985).…”

When one introduces a new psychotherapy model to professional colleagues, one must do 3 things: (a) define the patient for whom the program has been developed; (b) describe how the model addresses the problems of the patient, which entails some description of the techniques; and (c) present any efficacy data that are available that justify the usefulness of the new program with the target population. Accordingly, Part 1 of the article describes the chronically depressed adult, the target individual for whom the cognitive behavioral analysis system of psychotherapy (CBASP; J. P. McCullough, 1984McCullough, , 2001McCullough, , 2003a has been specifically developed. In Part II, the reader is shown how CBASP tries to modify the multiple psychopathological problems of the patient. In Part III is a summary of data obtained from a recently completed multisite, national clinical trial in which 681 chronically depressed outpatients were comparatively treated with CBASP, nefazodone (serzone), and their combination. Among completers of the study (n = 519; 76%) during a 12-week acute phase, 55% responded to serzone, 52% responded to CBASP, and 85% responded to combination treatment.

“…Some children, when faced with the dangers of an abusive or neglectful home life, fail to thrive (maturate). Normal development is inhibited because the child's energies and behavior are redirected toward survival, not growth (Drotar & Sturm, 1991;Money, 1992;Money, Annecillo, & Hutchinson, 1985).…”

The article presents an overview of the chronic depression construct in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSMs) since 1980, including developmental etiology and psychopathological patterns of the chronically depressed adult. Then the Cognitive Behavioral Analysis System of Psychotherapy (CBASP), an empirically supported psychotherapy and the only therapy developed specifically to treat chronic depression, is described. CBASP addresses the idiosyncratic problems of the chronically depressed adult using Situational Analysis, the Interpersonal Discrimination Exercise, and Behavioral Skill Training/Rehearsal techniques. The first two techniques are illustrated using a verbatim case example.

“…Etiological events in the histories of PDD patients derail normal social-emotional maturational development and entrap the child and adolescent in a preoperational state of development ( 11 ). All of the following clinical researchers [e.g., Spitz ( 12 ), “failure to thrive” researchers (e.g., ( 11 , 13 – 17 )), “paroxysms” which disrupt normal cognitive development] suggest that excessive emotionality, adverse familial circumstances of long duration, and severe neglect or trauma may interfere with normal cognitive-emotional maturation and physical development. Such events may also derail or retard normal developmental processes.…”

The characteristics of the optimal CBASP therapist role for the treatment of the Persistent Depressive Disorder patient (chronic depression) is delineated in this paper. This paper contains the opinions and experiences of the creator of CBASP who has developed and revised the model over more than 4 decades. The paper is not a rigorous study nor a review of rigorous studies. The difficulties of the patient are briefly discussed and then the characteristics of the optimal clinical role are presented. The clinical role of CBASP, the only model to have been developed specifically to treat the chronically depressive patient, is unique in the field of psychotherapy. Four role categories describing the behavior of the best therapists are presented and discussed: (1) the therapist is able to enact a Disciplined Personal Involvement clinical role with the patient; (2) the therapist is able to implement an acquisition-learning approach to therapeutic administration; (3) the practitioner is able to adhere to the standards of CBASP technique administration; and finally, (4) the clinician is able to implement several facilitative interpersonal skills.
