Therapists struggle to help patients for whom situational stresses interact with personality patterns in complicated combinations of grief, mourning, and depressive and masochistic dynamics. Because neither “Depressive Personality Disorder” nor “Self-Defeating Personality Disorder” is found in the DSM or ICD, official taxonomies offer little clinical help in distinguishing between various painful self-states and framing therapy accordingly. Dr. McWilliams will differentiate conceptually between depression and mourning, between anaclitic and introjective depression, between relational self-sabotage and “moral masochism” (Reik, 1941), and between depressive and self-defeating personality patterns.
Learning Objectives: After attending this presentation, participants will be able to
– Articulate three differences between normal grief and clinical depression.
– Identify differences between predominantly depressive and predominantly self-defeating (masochistic) personality patterns and identify their respective clinical implications.
