: :'I’m so clumsy—aren’t I?' 'Oh, I look so fat! Don’t I look fat?' Psychologists tell us that people suffering from depression often exhibit three social characteristics that can make them more prone to the disorder: impaired social skills, excessive interpersonal dependency, and excessive interpersonal inhibition. Imagine someone who might ask you one of the questions above. How would you respond? Depressed individuals can oftentimes crave validation from those around them, yet feel devastated when they get criticism or feedback that is not to their liking.

The Interactional Nature of Depression: Advances in Interpersonal Approaches
from: American Psychological Association (APA)
: :Even when theorists, researchers and therapists themselves forget, depressed people will say that their involvement in interpersonal relationships matter: relationships perceived as good buffer them from depression, and relationships perceived as bad contribute to and maintain their depression. Depressed individuals frequently know that they are in a 'Catch 22' dilemma of needing the very people whom their symptoms disaffect. Processes such as 'excessive reassurance seeking' and 'negative feedback seeking' may be involved in the cycle of depression. Depressed individuals may also realize that their therapy needs to focus on improving ...

Taxometrics: Toward a New Diagnostic Scheme for Psychopathology
: :The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) provides a common language for mental health professionals and enhances the reliability of diagnoses; however, it does have its limitations. Notably, there is little basis for its current categorical representation of diagnostic entities. In this volume, Schmidt, Kotov, and Joiner present a much needed, alternative approach to developing the DSM taxometrics, an applied data-analytic tool that discerns categories from continua and establishes defining indicators of identified categories. Integrating the work of Paul Meehl and colleagues, the book begins the ambitious task ...
