Abstract
We examined how interpersonal problems related to the psychopathology hierarchy in a carefully diagnosed clinical sample (n=825). Internalizing/fear disorders had submissiveness problems and externalizing disorders had dominance problems. Internalizing/distress disorders were heterogeneous: MDD had submissiveness problems, BPD had dominance problems, and neither PTSD nor GAD had a clear interpersonal signal.
