Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Psychotherapy Research

Background:

  • The Inventory of Interpersonal Problems (IIP) assesses interpersonal difficulties based on Leary's theory.
  • Interpersonal problems are conceptualized within a two-dimensional model, divided into eight octants.

Observation:

  • The IIP identifies dysfunctional interpersonal patterns.
  • It also identifies problems frequently discussed and easily treated in brief dynamic psychotherapy.

Findings:

  • Problems in the "exploitable" octant show the most frequent improvement.
  • Problems in the "dominating," "vindictive," and "cold" octants are less responsive to treatment.
  • Adult attachment styles correlate with specific types of interpersonal problems.

Implications:

  • Understanding interpersonal dynamics and attachment styles can inform therapeutic interventions.
  • Identifying specific problem octants may guide treatment focus for better outcomes.
  • This research contributes to the understanding of interpersonal psychology and therapeutic efficacy.
