Benjamin, L.S. (1999). Interpersonal Reconstructive Therapy for Passive-Aggressive Personality Disorder.

This videotape shows a 4th session conducted by Dr. Benjamin with a client portrayed by a professional actor using real case material.

Persistent maladaptive personality patterns represent a repetition of familiar behavior and perspectives that were appropriate given family dynamics during childhood, but that have lost their adaptive quality in adulthood. IRT helps the client to recognize, understand, and change these maladaptive patterns so he/she can experience a more fulfilling life.
