title: Enacting corrective interpersonal experiences with the depressed client: an intervention model.
abstract: In an attempt to protect the self from anxiety associated with the need for tenderness, the depressed patient enacts particular interpersonal phenomena designed to create distance and control intimacy. A theoretical framework using Sullivan and Peplau explains these phenomena in the context of the therapeutic nurse-patient relationship and guides specific responses by the nurse to create a corrective interpersonal experience. Case material illustrates these processes.
