Also identifying behaviors that contribute to failure, thus adding a second layer of understanding.

The quality of the relationship is crucial for the effectiveness of the therapy. PIT consists of several interlinking components, of which include ‘explanatory rationale’ and ‘staying with feelings’. A potential strength of PIT is that it is just as effective if not more so than current treatments at improving depressive symptoms. Research support comes from Elkin, who found that when compared to CBT, PIT is just as effective at treating depression.
Even more are affected by its symptoms. C. Thesis Statement: Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder is a disorder in which involves an obsession with perfection, rules, and organization, which leads to routines and rules for ways of doing things.

Additionally, observations will not be an adequate source of information as it could be misinterpreted based on the perspective of the observer. Biological and Psychological Depression Depression is a commonly recognized as a mental disorder.
