This study empirically examined the most frequent relational demands of female depressive patients, depending on their personality configuration and the characteristics of relevant segments within the session: change and stuck episodes. Ten psychotherapies (n = 230 sessions) were observed in order to identify, delimit and code relevant episodes within session (24 change episodes and 26 stuck episodes) using the CCRT-LU-S Category System (Albani et al., 2002), to determine patients’ relational demands. The results showed that introjective patients verbalized more relational demands on themselves as a relational object, and therefore more demands with a subject-subject direction. These patients expressed their needs and wishes centered on questioning themselves, to the detriment of generating significant interpersonal relationships. Furthermore, it was possible to predict a greater presence of relational demands referred to contents about “loving” during the change episodes, confirming that the most frequent themes in patients’ discourse were a strong wish to feel happy, despite their experiences of helplessness. These findings highlight the need for a more dimensional view of depression that takes into account patients’ personality configurations and their association with little and big outcomes.info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessUniversidad de Chile.
