The (Suicidal-) Depressive Position: A Scientifically Informed Reformulation

Golan Shahar

Abstract: Despite considerable progress in depression research and treatment, the disorder continues to pose daunting challenges to scientists and practitioners alike. This article presents a novel conceptualization of the psychological dynamics of depression which draws from Melanie Klein’s notion of the positions, reformulated using social-cognitive terms. Specifically, Klein’s notion of position, consisting of anxieties (persecutory vs. “depressive”), defense mechanisms (“primitive”/split based vs. neurotic/repression based), and object relations (part vs. whole) is reformulated to include (1) affect, broadly defined, (2) affect regulatory strategies (defense mechanisms, coping strategies, and motivation regulation), and (3) mental representations of self-with-others, all pertaining to the past, present, and future. I reformulate the depressive position to include—beyond sadness, anxiety, and anhedonia—also anger/agitation, shame, disgust, and contempt, all of which are down-regulated via diverse mechanisms. In the depressive position, the self is experienced as wronged and others as punitive, albeit seductive. Attempts to appease internal others (objects) are projected into the future, only to be thwarted by awkward and inept interpersonal behavior. This might propel the use of counter-phobic, counterdependent, and “manic” affect regulatory mechanisms, potentially leading to suicidal depression.

About Me:
I'm a single guy, aged 59 -- but I'm really 18. What you don't know when you're 18 is that you'll be 18 for the rest of your life. I'm pretty much of a loner. But I wish I had at least one friend to just sit on a park bench and watch the pigeons. You need somebody to count the pigeons with, right? I like long conversations about nothing. I like cool, smart people. I have two law degrees but have never practiced law. I love classical music and especially opera, preferably Wagner and Strauss. I connect with people that I have little in common with. I haven't worked in a legitimate job since 1991. I'm a drug smuggler.I used to be acutely ambitious; now I'm just inner-directed, intelligent, idealistic, and independent in thought and action. I am creative; exquisitely sensitive; deeply curious about others; hungry for love; envious of others' spontaneity; intensely needy of involvement with others; and capable of excitement with carefully selected intimates.

Friday March 3, 1933

I’ve been working on the speech all morning. In fact, I’ve made great progress.  I could go with what I have so far written.  But I feel, I know, that it needs a line that will really grab people’s attention.  A phrase came to my mind this morning: “All we have to fear is . . .”  Fear what?  What is it we have to fear?  Further economic erosion?  A lack of confidence in the markets?  All we have to fear is . . .  Maybe I should telephone Sam and get some idea or other from him.  He always…

Are You an INTP?

As an INTP, your primary mode of living is focused internally, where you deal with things rationally and logically. Your secondary mode is external, where you take things in primarily via your intuition.

INTPs live in the world of theoretical possibilities. They see everything in terms of how it could be improved, or what it could be turned into. They live primarily inside their own minds, having the ability to…
