This therapy was developed solely for the treatment of chronic depressive adults. Most patients/clients present with maltreatment developmental histories that impede normal cognitive-emotive growth in the ability to relate socially with others. Hence, patients/clients begin treatment functioning in a primitive manner meaning their thought and feeling patterns are not very organized, self-centered, and prelogical, and they talk to therapists in a monologic manner. At the outset of psychotherapy, the patient/client is interpersonally detached and withdrawn and is perceptually disconnected from the actual consequences of their own behavior. Three techniques are administered 1) to demonstrate to patients/clients that the way they behave with others has consequences (Situational Analysis); 2) to help patients/clients discriminate the psychotherapist from toxic Significant Others who have hurt them (Interpersonal Discrimination Exercise); and 3) to modify in-session maladaptive behavior that precludes the therapist from administering treatment (Contingent Personal Responsivity). The therapist role is interpersonally active and administered in a disciplined personal involved manner.
