  • Title: [Power, status and valency in relationship to affective psychoses, schizoaffective and neurotic depression of patients].
    Author: Böker H, Nikisch G, Budischewski K, Himmighoffen H.
    Journal: Psychother Psychosom Med Psychol; 1997 Dec; 47(12):426-34. PubMed ID: 9471633.
    Abstract:
    The interrelationships of patients with affective psychoses and depressive neuroses were analysed by means of the Giessentest. They were categorised using Beckmanns approach to power, status and valency. The different frequency of these scores in the depressive subgroups underlined the interactional dimension of depression and the influence of gender variables as well. In particular neurotic depressive male patients tended to have asymmetric structures of relationships. The couple relationships of female patients suffering from depression or physical illness were characterised by a negative valency in the self-concept and a positive valency in the self as perceived by others.
