Dependent personality disorder is a pattern of needing to be taken care of and submissive and clingy behavior. People with dependent personality disorder may have difficulty making daily decisions without reassurance from others or may feel uncomfortable or helpless when alone because of fear of inability to take care of themselves.

Symptoms of Dependent Personality

• Excessive dependence on others and feeling the need to be taken care of
• Submissive or clingy behavior toward others
• Fear of having to provide self-care or fend for yourself if left alone
• Lack of self-confidence, requiring excessive advice and reassurance from others to make even small decisions
• Difficulty starting or doing projects on your own due to lack of self-confidence
• Difficulty disagreeing with others, fearing disapproval
• Tolerance of poor or abusive treatment, even when other options are available
• Urgent need to start a new relationship when a close one has ended

Schema Therapy for Dependent Personality Disorder

Schema Therapy for Dependent Personality Disorder is an integrative approach, founded on the principles of cognitive-behavioral therapy and then expanded to include techniques and concepts from other psychotherapies. Schema therapy for dependent personality can help you to change entrenched, self-defeating life patterns – or schemas — using cognitive, behavioral, and emotion-focused techniques. Schema therapy for dependent personality focuses on the relationship with the therapist, daily life outside of therapy, and the childhood experiences that led to the development of maladaptive schemas.
