摘要：AbstractIn this case study, the two year-long psychotherapy of a dysthymic and self-critical woman is presented. Her depression was conceptualized as a “mixed” anaclitic-introjective type according to the model of Sidney Blatt. Given the patient's potentially destructive nature of depression and self-criticism, the therapist systematically applied an integrative mixed therapy, combining cognitive, behavioural and psychodynamic approaches. Based on DSM-IV-TR, changes in the patient's functioning were assessed at the beginning and at the end of treatment via MCMI-II. At post test, patient showed significant improvements in anaclitic-introjective depression, some dimensions of personality, as well as her adaptive functioning.
