TY - JOUR PY - 2013// TI - Impairments in self structures in depression and suicide in psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral approaches: Implications for clinical practice and research JO - International journal of cognitive therapy A1 - Luyten, P.

SP - 265 EP - 279 VL - 6 IS - 3 N2 - This paper discusses the growing convergence among cognitive behavioral and psychodynamic approaches to psychopathology, and to depression and suicide in particular, with a special focus on theoretical models emphasizing (a) the role of cognitive affective schemas or representations of self and others and (b) impairments in mentalizing or meta-cognition. We discuss similarities and differences between these approaches in the conceptualization and the treatment of depression. This review shows that despite continuing convergence, some important differences remain which may provide a particularly fruitful area for clinical practice and future research directed towards uncovering the mutative factors in the treatment of depression. © 2013 International Association for Cognitive Psychotherapy.
