Interpersonal problems and the psychotherapy context: the construct validity of the Inventory of Interpersonal Problems

Article Abstract:

A direct correlation between patients' self reports on the Inventory of Interpersonal Problems (IIP) and therapists' judgments of interpersonal functioning indicates the convergent validity of the inventory. Interpersonal problems in a psychotherapeutic setting are categorized according to four problem types, Friendly Dominant, Hostile Dominant, Friendly Submissive and Hostile Submissive. Hostile dominant patients report reduced levels of empathic resonance with the therapist. Each problem type is associated with a set of interpersonal features.
