The married manic.
In group psychotherapy and follow-up studies, the interpersonal relationships and psychodynamics of the married manic depressive patient and spouse were studied. Prominent among these subjects were massive denial of grief, rage, and dependency in the context of symbiotic relationships; and the absence of a father during early development. Clinical expressions of these factors are presented, and therapeutic implications are discussed.
