A Case of Depressive Personality Disorder: Aligning Theory, Practice, and Clinical Research

In English

Författare

Summary, in English

Depressive personality disorder (DPD) is highly studied and common in clinical settings. Nevertheless,

it is rife with controversies and often overshadowed by major depression and dysthymia with which it

shares many similarities but also is clinically distinct. Possibly as a result, DPD is underdiagnosed and

misunderstood in clinical care. Thus the goal of this practice review is to present a case from psychiatric

clinical work illustrating how DPD may be commonly overlooked in routine care, and how the

conceptualization of this case and its treatment plan changed course once DPD was considered by treating

staff, ultimately contributing to the successful outcome of the case. Questions elicited by the case are

subsequently discussed in the context of the empirical literature on DPD, allowing for a clearer picture

to emerge on DPD and its role in the development, course, and treatment of depression.
