History Freud (1923) – oral stage arrest
Abraham (1924) – oral-receptive characters WW II (1940s) – immature war reactions Fenichel (1945) – looks for “nursing mother” Horney (1950s) – compliant type Millon (1969) – passive-dependent Bowlby (1969) – clinging attachment

DSM History DSM-I (1952) DSM-II (1968) DSM-III (1980) DSM-III-R (1987)
considered a subtype of passive aggressive DSM-II (1968) inadequate personality DSM-III (1980) 3 criteria DSM-III-R (1987) 9 criteria
5
DSM Definition “a pervasive and excessive need to be taken care of that leads to submissive and clinging behavior and fears of separation" (APA, 1994, p. 665). 5/8 criteria for diagnosis

7
Factor Analytic View Livesley, Schroeder, and Jackson (1990)
two orthogonal factors attachment and dependence attachment was defined as needing someone, where as dependence was defined as the excessive need for advice, encouragement, etc.

Co-morbidity PDs DPD Eating* MOOD ANX* = significant co-morbidity
Bornstein (1995) Somatization* PDs DPD BDL, HPD Eating* Major Dep Dysthymia MOOD ANX* Substance Phobias Agoraphobia

Media Examples What about Bob? Rocky Forrest Gump All in the Family

Interview Considerations
appear to be deceptively simple to treat cooperative and easy to please “gains” in therapy may not generalize Turkat (1990) depression tension
12
Interview Considerations
take whatever appointment times are offered become model patients, need to please rarely canceling appointments or arriving late therapists are treated with admiration mistakes of therapist overlooked
13
Interview Considerations
self-doubt, tends to belittle self low self-confidence, faith in others high need for reassurance neediness, rarely lives alone work below level of ability continually seek advice seek protection and dominance from others avoid positions of responsibility
14
Interview Considerations
at risk for substance abuse, overmedication and abusive relationships may have a "somatic orientation“ Exploration of issues viewed as criticism Confrontation does not work
15
Epidemiology more common among females (controversial issue)
Estimates vary 2.5 to 3.0% of the general population? DEP tends to be more common after the age of 40
16
Cause - Biological dependency may be the result of high levels of anxiety-proneness No Audio
17
Cause - Analytic Freud and Abraham described their oral-character as due to overindulgence or deprivation in the oral or sucking stage of development others argue that DPD is the result of faulty attachment
18
Ego Defenses Idealization Reaction Formation Projective Identification
Induces guilt in others
19
Psychodynamics Oral fixation
Oral eroticism = gratification of oral libidinal needs Oral dependent = early fixation Oral sadism = later fixation when teeth appear Oral character = adult version of earlier fixation
20
Oral Characters oral dependent oral sadistic
(early fixation, dependent) Everything should come to you excessive eating, drinking, or cigar smoking good listener or being a gullible person oral sadistic (late fixation, independent) Can’t count on anyone cynical, pessimistic and bitingly sarcastic Nail biting
21
Cause - Cognitive-behavioral
Beliefs are key Sees self as needy, weak, helpless and incompetent Sees others as nurturant, supportive and competent find shelter in the context of a relationship protect them and assume responsibility
22
Cause - Interpersonal Family of origin probably has a lot to do disorder a dominant mother/father may force dependency in children Children are overprotected and discouraged from being assertive Independent actions can be criticized, particularly when the choice is a poor one Child fears making a choice because of criticism
23
Testing No Audio
24
Testing using the Family Environment Scale, found that individuals with DEP display a unique dysfunctional family background low expressiveness high control Head, Baker, and Williamson (1991)
25
Reich (1996) associated with lower socioeconomic status, and poorer functioning in the family/home sphere relatives of individuals with DEP are more likely to have generalized anxiety disorder
26
N3 = Depression N4 = Self-consciousness N6 = Vulnerabilities
27
Testing MMPI-2, there may be a 2-7 profile (depression/psychasthenia)
another possibility is a high scale 3 (hysteria) and a mildly elevated K
