افسردگی مزمن: منابع بین‌فردی، راه‌حل‌های درمانی

n this highly readable volume, the authors survey the interpersonal sources of chronic depression, discussing interpersonal processes (stress generation, negative feedback-seeking, interpersonal conflict avoidance, and blame maintenance, among others) that lead to the maintenance of depression. "This book develops a new explanatory framework for chronic depression that is based, where possible, on psychological science. The framework rests on the premise that depression appears to include self-sustaining processes, that these processes may be, at least in part, interpersonal, and that understanding of these processes from an interpersonal standpoint may be useful in applied settings. The book thus builds on this framework to develop clinical implications. The audience for the book should, therefore, include anyone who is concerned with depression. In writing this book, we draw from a large base of empirical research on interpersonal processes in depression. In addition to the book's foundation on research, there are also speculations included herein; we believe they are reasonable ones, and we label them as speculations in the book, but ultimately, the judgment as to whether they are reasonable and useful is left to subsequent psychological and clinical science"--Book. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2006 APA, all rights reserved) Pettit (clinical psychology, U. of Houston) and Joiner (psychology, Florida State U.) argue that clinical depression appears to include self-sustaining processes that are, at least in part, interpersonal and that therefore attempts to understand these processes from an interpersonal standpoint can be useful in applied settings. Drawing from the empirical literature on interpersonal processes in depression, they examine the operation of such processes as stress generation, negative feedback-seeking, excessive reassurance-seeking, interpersonal conflict avoidance, self-handicapping, blame maintenance, and stable vulnerabilities. They then examine the application of the clinical implications of this material in clinical assessment, therapeutics, and prevention. Although the authors hope that the material will be of use to actual clinical practitioners, they have geared the style of the writing to be as accessible to as wide an audience as possible. Annotation ©2005 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR "The link between depression and interpersonal behaviors has long been the subject of theoretical and empirical scrutiny. In Chronic Depression: Interpersonal Sources, Therapeutic Solutions, authors Jeremy W. Pettit and Thomas E. Joiner draw on the extensive body of research on interpersonal processes of depression and develop a new explanatory framework for this persistent mental illness. Their framework operates with the understanding that depression appears to include self-sustaining processes, with these processes being in part interpersonal, and that viewing the processes from an interpersonal standpoint may be useful in applied settings. In this volume, the authors survey the interpersonal sources of chronic depression."--Jacket cover.jpg......Page 1 200511928-FRM.pdf......Page 2 200511928-001.pdf......Page 10 200511928-002.pdf......Page 19 200511928-003.pdf......Page 32 200511928-004.pdf......Page 45 200511928-005.pdf......Page 58 200511928-006.pdf......Page 76 200511928-007.pdf......Page 88 200511928-008.pdf......Page 98 200511928-009.pdf......Page 107 200511928-010.pdf......Page 121 200511928-011.pdf......Page 128 200511928-012.pdf......Page 138 200511928-013.pdf......Page 152 200511928-014.pdf......Page 166 200511928-BKM.pdf......Page 171 Depression chronicity: perspectives on forms and reasons Depression as persistent and recurrent scourge Stress generation Negative feedback-seeking Excessive reassurance-seeking Interpersonal conflict avoidance Self-handicapping Blame maintenance Stable vulnerabilities The complex interplay of the factors Application to depression-related disorder: bulimia Clinical assessment Therapeutics Prevention: the potential to save lives.
