Abstract: This article highlights the impact of emotion regulation and interpersonal emotion regulation strategies on psychological disorders and emphasizes the importance of the transdiagnostic approach. İnterpersonal emotion regulation strategies explain how individuals manage their own and others' emotions during social interactions. Dysfunctional interpersonal emotion regulation strategies are associated with various psychopathological symptoms, such as depression, anxiety, and eating disorders. Notably, the strategies of soothing and ruminating show a strong relationship with depression. Emotion regulation difficulties in individuals with substance use disorders complicate treatment processes, while the effects of interpersonal emotion regulation strategies on mental health in adolescents and perinatal mothers also highlight the necessity of considering these strategies in therapeutic interventions. The aim of this review is to fill the gaps in the existing literature and demonstrate how the transdiagnostic approach, which examines the underlying common processes of psychological disorders, can contribute to developing more effective interventions.
