Soothing Oneself and Resisting Self-Attacks: The Treatment of Two Intrapersonal Deficits in Depression Vulnerability (2009, background): “Self-critical individuals are more likely to become depressed (Blatt and Zuroff 1992), less likely to respond to treatments ( Rector et al. 2000 ) and more likely to relapse when they do respond (Teasdale and Cox 2001).”
A review of client self-criticism in psychotherapy (2013, background): “As selfcriticism has been associated with negative outcomes in the psychotherapy literature reviewed (e.g., Marshall, Zuroff, McBride, & Bagby, 2008; Rector et al., 2000), it is important to consider ways to deal with self-criticism when it emerges in therapy.”
Having a word with yourself: Neural correlates of self-criticism and self-reassurance (2010, background): “Self-critics may also do less well with standard therapies (Rector et al., 2000).”
