This seminar will explore the introjective defensive style of the depressive personality from a broadly psychodynamic perspective, and discuss constructive ways of approaching the depressive personality in therapy. The depressive is emotionally sensitive, self-critical, fearful of rejection, and often carries around an inordinate amount of inappropriate guilt and unmourned losses. Healthy depressives often make up for their own perceived failures by trying to heal others and doing good deeds; more disturbed depressives may descend into self-hatred, mood disorder, and even psychotic features.
