(F)
Expressively Disconsolate (e.g., appearance and posture conveys
and irrelievably forlorn, somber, heavy-hearted, woebegone, if not grief-stricken quality;
irremediably dispirited and discouraged, portraying a sense of permanent hopelessness and
wretchedness).
(F) Interpersonally Defenseless (e.g., owing to feeling vulnerable,
assailable, and unshielded, will beseech others to be nurturant and protective; fearing
abandonment and desertion, will not only act in an endangered manner, but seek, if not
demand assurances of affection, steadfastness, and devotion).
(F) Fatalistic
Cognitive-Style (e.g., possesses defeatist
attitudes about almost all matters, sees things in their blackest form and invariably
expects the worst; feeling weighed down, discouraged, and bleak, gives the gloomiest
interpretation of current events, despairing as well that things will never improve in the
future).
(S) Worthless
Self-Image (e.g., judges oneself of no account,
valueless to self or others, inadequate and unsuccessful in all aspirations; barren,
sterile, impotent, sees self as inconsequential and reproachable, if not contemptible, a
person who should be criticized and derogated, as well as feel guilty for possessing no
praiseworthy traits or achievements).
(S) Forsaken
Object-Relations (e.g., internalized representations of the past
appear jettisoned, as if life's early experiences have been depleted or devitalized,
either drained of their richness and joyful elements, or withdrawn from memory, leaving
one to feel abandoned, bereft, and discarded, cast off and deserted).
(F) Asceticism
Regulatory Mechanism (e.g., engages in acts of self-denial,
self-punishment, and self-tormenting, believing that one should exhibit penance and be
deprived of life's bounties; not only is there a repudiation of pleasures, but there are
harsh self-judgments, as well as self-destructive acts).
(S) Depleted
Morphologic Organization (e.g., the scaffold for morphologic
structures is markedly weakened, with coping methods enervated and defensive strategies
impoverished, emptied and devoid of their vigor and focus, resulting in a diminished, if
not exhausted capacity to initiate action and regulate affect, impulse, and conflict).
(S) Woeful
Mood-Temperament (e.g., is typically woeful, gloomy, tearful,
joyless, and morose; characteristically worrisome and brooding, the low spirits and dysphoric state rarely remits).
