Abstract
Discussion of the treatment of specific interpersonal impairments begins with submissiveness because it is often easier to treat than other interpersonal problems. The behaviours and schemas involved are simpler and their exploration does not activate emotional distress to the same degree. The Nature of Submissiveness Maladaptive manifestations of submissiveness include three broad sets of behaviour: subservience, suggestibility, and the need for advice and reassurance. The latter is linked to strong dependency needs that are discussed in the next chapter. The more specific behavioural manifestations of the trait include indiscriminately acceding to others’ demands, always deferring to others, placating and appeasing others, consistently seeking to please others, accepting other people's opinions readily, difficulty expressing personal needs, problems voicing one's own opinion, discounting one's own opinions, allowing others to be excessively critical and abusive, being exploited and taken for granted, having difficulty in being assertive, putting others’ needs first, putting one's self down, and needing constant advice and reassurance. Some common schemas associated with the trait are listed in Box 19.1. Submissiveness increases vulnerability to abuse and exploitation: all too often these patients go from one abusive relationship to another. This was the case with Anna. In her late teens and early adulthood, she had a series of relationships with emotionally abusive and sometimes physically abusive men. She wryly observed that there was little point in leaving her current marriage because she would only end up with someone similar and sometimes it was best to stick with the devil you knew. The Origins of Submissiveness In Chapter 3, it was noted that there is often a discrepancy between patients’ overt behaviour and their inner experience. This is frequently the case with submissive individuals with borderline personality disorder (BPD); they present an angry demanding facade that often leads observers to miss their more submissive features and not recognize their inner uncertainty and vulnerability.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
