Abstract
Aim. Stressful life events are an important contributor to the onset and course of depression. Coping strategies
and interpersonal patterns have been found to mediate the effects of stress [1].
Methods. This study examined the relationship between coping patterns and interpersonal interactions in
early psychotherapy sessions of 25 female patients with major depression. Transcripts were rated for coping
patterns using the Coping Patterns Rating Scale (CPRS; [2]). Interpersonal patterns were assessed
using the Structural Analysis of Social Behavior (SASB; [3]).
Results. Significant correlations were found between coping patterns and markers of interpersonal functioning
in selected contexts.
Discussion. The implications of these findings in understanding an important aspect of vulnerability to
depression and enhancing treatment outcome are discussed.
