“…Several attachment measures for use in children and adolescents also exist, including interview-based measures, such as the Child Attachment Interview (Shmueli-Goetz, Target, Fonagy, & Datta, 2008), measures based on Q-sort techniques, and observer-based instruments such as the Strange Situation Procedure (Ainsworth, 1978 #72; for a review, see Shmueli-Goetz et al, 2008) (see also Table 1). Finally, a dozen or more measures of representations of self and others are available, which can be rated on questionnaire data, interviews, narratives, unstructured or projective measures, stories based on the picture arrangement subtest of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised, early memories, transcripts from psychotherapy sessions, and responses to experimental stimuli Huprich & Greenberg, 2003).…”

Extant research suggests there is considerable overlap between so-called two-polarities models of personality development, that is, models that propose that personality development evolves through a dialectic synergistic interaction between two key developmental tasks across the life span -the development of self-definition on the one hand and of relatedness on the other. These models have attracted considerable research attention and play a central role in DSM planning. This paper provides a researcher-and clinician-friendly guide to the assessment of these personality theories. We argue that current theoretical models focus on issues of relatedness and self-definition at different hierarchically organized levels of analysis, that is, (a) at the level of broad personality features, (b) at the motivational level, that is, the motivational processes underlying the development of these dimensions, and (c) at the level

“…The Quality of Object Relations scale (QOR) is one dimension supposed to predetermine suitability for dynamic psychotherapy Høglend, 2003;Azim et al, 1991). QOR is probably the best studied predictors in dynamic psychotherapy (Huprich and Greenberg, 2003). In the First Experimental Study of Transference-interpretations QOR was a pre-selected putative moderator in the study protocol.…”

“…Attachment theorists usually refer to them in terms of internal 5 models and attachment styles (Bowlby, 1990), while social cognition researchers discuss these in terms of belief systems or schemas concerning the self and interactions with others (Westen, 1991). Object relation theorists, in their turn, consider these mental representations in terms of object relations, and propose that their content, structure, and affective quality mediate interpersonal functioning (Huprich and Greenberg, 2003). Not withstanding the paucity of empirical research, several authors have underscored the importance of studying internal interpersonal representations, indicating that these make up a basis for affect regulation (Fonagy et al, 2002;Mitrani, 1995;Verhaeghe et al, 2007).…”

In this study associations between alexithymia, interpersonal problems and cognitivestructural aspects of internal interpersonal representations were examined. Alexithymia was measured using the Structured Interview for Alexithymia (TSIA) and the Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20). To measure interpersonal problems, dominance and affiliation dimensions scores of the Inventory of Interpersonal Problems (IIP-64) were used and cognitive-structural characteristics of interpersonal representations were measured using the Social Cognition and Object Relations Scale (SCORS). As hypothesized, alexithymia was related to cold and withdrawn, but not to dominant or submissive, interpersonal functioning.In terms of the SCORS, alexithymia was negatively related to complexity of interpersonal representations, both in TAT and in interview narratives, indicating a link between alexithymia and mentalization. However, alexithymia was only related to the dimension of social causality when this dimension was scored on TAT narratives. Overall the TSIA provides the most consistent and stable results after controlling for negative affectivity.
