Classic view of depression:
1. Disturbances in infant-mother relationship during oral phase predispose to depression
2. Linked to real or imagined object loss
3. Introjection of the departed object is a defense mechanism invoked to deal with the distress related with loss
4. Because the lost object is regarded with a mixture or love and hate, feelings of anger are directed toward inner self
Freud, expanded by Karl Abraham:
aware of discrepancy between extraordinarily high ideals and inability to meet goals
Edward Bibring
many depressed people have lived their lives for someone else rather (principle ideal, institution) than for themselves. Depression sets in when patients realize that the person or ideal for which they have been living is never going to respond in a manner that will meet their expectations.
Silvano Ariety
developing self has specific needs that must be met by parents to give the child a positive sense of self-esteem and self-cohesion. When others do not meet these needs, there is a massive loss of self-esteem that presents as depression.
Heinz Kohut
believed that damaged early attachments and traumatic separation in childhood predispose to depression. Adult losses are said to revive the traumatic childhood loss and so precipitate adult depressive episodes.
