Sociotrophy
Sociotrophy is a personality style that is characterized by a person often worrying about interpersonal relationships. Doctors most commonly research how sociotrophy is related to depression. Sociotrophy has a strong relationship with attachment styles and depression symptoms.The most common style of attachment related to sociotrophy is the preoccupied style. People with sociotrophy often show many signs of depression. Doctors base their treatment for sociotrophy off of the seriousness of the sociotrophy and the patient's form of attachment. Doctors do this because there is often a strong connection between depression, attachment style, and personality dimension. . Many women with eating disorders also show characteristics that are often related to sociotrophy. Woman with eating disorders show more signs of being sociotropic than women without eating disorders. When a women experiences sociotrophy they are unable to express their emotions about their relationships. Many researchers believe that is why women turn to eating disorders, they think that if they change their body appearance everything will be better.
