“…to say 'no' to other people'' and ''I fight with other people too much.'' The IIP-octant subscale scores each contain a general interpersonal distress factor and two content dimensions of dominance and affiliation (Tracey, Rounds, & Gurtman, 1996); this three-factor structure has been empirically confirmed (Grosse Holtforth et al, 2007;Renner et al, 2012;Vittengl et al, 2003). Accordingly, factor scores for IIP interpersonal distress, dominance and affiliation can be computed from the eight subscale scores.…”

“…In another study with psychotherapy outpatients, motive-congruent goal progress was related to depressive symptoms (Pueschel, Schulte, & Michalak, 2011). Furthermore, in a study with three clinical and nonclinical samples from two countries cold and/or submissive interpersonal problems were consistently associated with failure to satisfy important approach motives (i.e., strivings for intimacy, affiliation, and altruism; Grosse Holtforth, Pincus, Grawe, & Mauler, 2007). Therefore, it is reasonable to assume that particularly patients with cold and/or submissive interpersonal problems will also experience problems in satisfying their goals and motives and consequently show the highest levels of depressive and general symptoms.…”

We examined interpersonal problems in psychotherapy outpatients with a principal diagnosis of a depressive disorder in routine care (n=361). These patients were compared to a normative non-clinical sample and to outpatients with other principal diagnoses (n=959). Furthermore, these patients were statistically assigned to interpersonally defined subgroups that were compared regarding symptoms and the quality of the early alliance. The sample of depressive patients reported higher levels of interpersonal problems than the normative sample and the sample of outpatients without a principal diagnosis of depression. Latent Class Analysis identified eight distinct interpersonal subgroups, which differed regarding self-reported symptom load and the quality of the early alliance. However, therapists' alliance ratings did not differentiate between the groups. This interpersonal differentiation within the group of patients with a principal diagnosis of depression may add to a personalized psychotherapy based on interpersonal profiles.

“…Individuals may tend to avoid situations that are likely to be distressing. In fact, avoidance motivation guides individuals' behavior toward minimization of the occurrence of undesirable situations and outcomes (Grosse Holtforth, Pincus, Grawe, Mauler, & Castonguay, 2007). However, avoidance can also negatively impact well-being and contribute to many forms of psychopathology (Berking, Neacsiu, Comtois, & Linehan, 2009;Hayes, Luoma, Bond, Masuda, & Lillis, 2006;Hayes, Wilson, Gifford, Follette, & Strosahl, 1996).…”

Increasing evidence shows that mindfulness is positively related to mental health; however, the nature of this relationship is not fully understood. The current study used structural equation modeling to investigate the hypothesis that mindfulness moderates the association between the occurrence of unavoidable distressing experiences (UDE) and mental health. Participants from a community sample (N = 376) completed the Freiburg Mindfulness Inventory, the Positive and Negative Affect Scale, the Brief Symptom Inventory, the Inventory of Approach and Avoidance Motivation, and the Incongruence Scale. Results indicated that mindfulness moderated the association between unavoidable distressing events and psychopathological symptoms/negative affect. Thus, mindfulness may contribute to enhance the ability to cope with UDE and thus mitigate the detrimental effects of these experiences on mental health.

SummaryBackground: Narcissistic personality disorder is the subject of increasing attention in the literature. However, there remains a relative absence of empirical work that has examined narcissism in clinical samples, especially efforts to replicate previous findings. Findings from a previous large-scale study [1] suggest that narcissism is associated with considerable interpersonal impairment.
