Although dependency-related dynamics play a role in many forms of personality pathology, a review of the literature in this area reveals that individuals with different personality disorders differ with respect to the intensity of underlying dependency needs, their degree of insight regarding these needs, the ways in which dependency needs are expressed in important interpersonal relationships, and characteristic defenses used to modulate underlying dependency needs. Clinical, theoretical, and empirical implications of these findings are discussed, and suggestions for future research on the dependency-personality disorders relationship are offered.
尽管与依赖相关的动态因素在多种形式的人格病理学中发挥作用,但对该领域文献的回顾显示,患有不同人格障碍的个体在潜在依赖需求的强度、对这些需求的洞察程度、依赖需求在重要人际关系中的表达方 式以及用于调节潜在依赖需求的特征性防御机制方面存在差异。本文讨论了这些发现的临床、理论和实证意义,并为未来关于依赖与人格障碍关系的研究提供了建议。
