Abstract:
Objective: To evaluate childhood experiences (neglect and abuse), temperament and childhood and adolescent psychopathology as risk factors for avoidant and borderline personality disorders in depressed outpatients. Method: One hundred and eighty depressed outpatients were evaluated for personality disorders. Risk factors of childhood abuse, parental care, temperament, conduct disorder symptoms, childhood and adolescent anxiety disorders, depressive episodes, hypomania and alcohol and drug dependence were obtained by questionnaires and interviews. Results: Avoidant personality disorder can be conceptualized as arising from a combination of high harm avoidance (shy, anxious), childhood and adolescent anxiety disorders and parental neglect. Borderline personality disorder can be formulated as arising from a combination of childhood abuse and/or neglect, a borderline temperament (high novelty seeking and high harm avoidance), and childhood and adolescent depression, hypomania, conduct disorder and alcohol and drug dependence. Conclusions: Combinations of risk factors from the three domains of temperament, childhood experiences and childhood and adolescent psychopathology make major contributions to the development of avoidant and borderline personality disorders.

Abstract:
SummaryPatients with anxiety disorders are often described as anancastic, high in neuroticism, dependent and avoidant. These personalities overlap with those of nonbipolar depressives – in whom these disorders are less pronounced. Yet many indices of social adjustment appear less disturbed in anxiety disorders. Review of recent data front systematic investigations supports the thesis that the personality attributes observed in anxiety disorders represent either formes frustes expressions or postmorbid complications of these disorders.Thus, neuroticism is best viewed as subclinically expressed neurosis. Likewise, anancastic traits are not easily separable from generalized anxiety disorder; the same can be said about avoidant personality and social phobia. Avoidance appears to be an inherent psychobiologic defense which is mobilized by anxiogenic situations. Dependency, which may reflect upbringing with an anxious parent, is further accentuated by handicaps imposed by the anxiety disorder.

Objective To investigate the characteristics related to avoidant attachment of 13 schizoid/avoidant psychiatric outpatients and 20 nonschizoid/avoidant psychiatric outpatients. Method Three scales (“maintains distance in relationships”, “high priority on self-sufficiency” and “attachment relationship is a threat to security”) differentiated schizoid and avoidant personality disordered patients from other personality disordered patients. Results The results are discussed in terms of the attachment and DSM diagnostic models of avoidant styles in relationships. Conclusion The 2 groups of schizoid and avoidant personality disordered patients were not significantly different on the desire for close affectional bonds scale.

Abstract:
SummaryThe purpose was to assess personality traits in subjects with a DSM-IV diagnosis of social phobia. Thirty-two subjects were administered the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV for Axes I and II disorders (SCID I and II). Personality traits were assessed by means of the Karolinska Scales of Personality (KSP). Current and lifetime axis I co-morbidity was diagnosed in 28% and 53% of the subjects, respectively. In total, 59% had at least one personality disorder and 47% were diagnosed with an avoidant personality disorder.The social phobics scored significantly higher than a Swedish normative sample on the KSP measuring anxiety proneness, irritability, detachment, and indirect aggression but lower on the scales for socialisation and social desirability. The presence as compared to absence of avoidant personality disorder in the social phobics was associated with significantly higher psychic anxiety and inhibition of aggression. In addition, symptom severity was higher in social phobics with an avoidant personality disorder. Generally, the results support the view that social phobia and avoidant personality disorder reflect different aspects of a social anxiety spectrum.

Abstract:
AbstractA developmental–evolutionary perspective is used to synthesize basic research from the neurosciences, ethology, genetics, and developmental psychology into a unified framework for understanding the nature and origins of social anxiety and avoidant personality disorder. Evidence is presented that social anxiety disorder (social phobia) and avoidant personality disorder may be alternate conceptualizations of the same disorder because they have virtually the same symptoms and genetic basis, and respond to the same pharmacologic and psychotherapeutic interventions. A functionalist perspective on social anxiety is formulated to (a) explain the origins of normative states of anxiety, (b) outline developmental pathways in the transition from normative anxiety to social anxiety and avoidant personality disorders, and (c) account for the processes leading to gender-differentiated patterns of anxiety-related disorders after puberty.

Abstract:
ObjectiveTo evaluate mutual interaction between sexuality and personality we tried to study 111 patients with QSAF 2009 and MCMI-III.MethodsHundred and eleven consecutive patients with sexual problems (76) or personality disorders (35) were examined with two tests. Only volunteer personality disorder patients were enrolled to this trial. The results were compared with 325 examinees evaluated with QSAF and 1600 patients evaluated with MCMI-III.ResultsAll patients with sexual problems showed at least two scores higher than 72 in their MCMI-III. This was more prominent in sexual deviations than dysfunctions. Homosexuals had higher scores in schizoid and schizotypal, pedophiles in schizoid and antisocial, voyeurs in schizoid and avoidant, masochists in dependent and self defeating personality scales …. Sexually deviated persons remain clinically latent and show themselves as alien, aloof and eccentric. Almost all deviated persons show high scores in personality disorder scales. On the contrary, only a minority of personality disorder patients show prominent sexual problems in the form of deviation. They predominantly have disturbed sexual self image, show inhibited sexual desire problems (dependent, schizoid and avoidant) personality, dyspareunia and vaginism (avoidant and schizotypal personality), spouse abuse (borderline and antisocial personality) postcoital disorders (borderline, dependent and narcissistic personality) and extramarital relationship in a series of disorders including histrionic personality …. as studied by the QSAF 2009 which evaluates 64 sexual scales.ConclusionEvaluation of personality disordered patients in regard to sexuality and vice versa is essential for better understanding the pathogenesis of each disease and helps in smoother treatments.

Abstract:
This study conducted convergent validation on participant’s identification with the prototypical values of histrionic personality disorder repertoire, an important part of acceptance and commitment psychotherapy (ACT). The Multiaxial Inventory of Personality (MCMI – III) was administered to two mixed groups of participants (cases versus controls). Participants were also interviewed using the SCID- II,and a structured interview The content analysis of the structured interviews showed that participants with the disorder had the highest mean in the “A-R-VP self-report identification” at all the 12 values examined on a 0 to 5 point scale, with scores closer to 5. Meanwhile, those without the disorder had scores of identification between 0 and 1. The results of the Student t test confirmed the findings. People with histrionic personality disorder identify themselves with a repertoire of twelve characteristic values of this disorder.<br>El presente estudio validó  convergentemente, tras un análisis de contenido de entrevistas estructuradas, a un grupo de participantes “casos” versus un grupo equivalente de “controles” mixto su identificación con un repertorio de valores prototípicos del trastorno histriónico de la personalidad.

Se halló que los participantes con el trastorno mostraron las medias más altas en su reporte de identificación con  un conjunto de 12 valores examinados  una escala de 0-5 en oposición a quienes no tenían dicho trastorno, los cuales tuvieron puntajes de identificación entre 0 y 1. Los resultados de la prueba t de student confirmaron lo anterior.

Desta forma, formaram-se um grupo de casos e outro grupo de controles. Ambos os grupos foram misturados. A entrevista SCID-II, o Inventário de Personalidade Multiaxial MCMI-III e a entrevista estruturada foram aplicadas. Os participantes com o transtorno tiveram os meios mais elevados em seu relatório “A-R-VP de identificação com um conjunto de 12 valores con escores perto de 5, examinados em uma escala de 0 a 5, em oposição àqueles que não tinham o referido transtorno, que apresentavam escores entre 0 e 1. Os resultados do teste de Student t confirmaram o acima. Conclui-se que as pessoas avaliadas com transtorno de personalidade histriônica são identificadas com um repertório de doze valores característicos desta desordem.

Abstract:
Mindfulness is a core component of dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), a widely utilized treatment for borderline personality disorder (BPD); however, the import of mindfulness in treating BPD has yet to be demonstrated, and the relationship of mindfulness to BPD constructs is unclear. The current study utilized structural equation modeling to examine the relations of mindfulness with BPD features and the underlying constructs of interpersonal problem-solving effectiveness, impulsivity, emotion regulation strategies, and neuroticism in 342 young adults. Mindfulness was significantly related to effectiveness in interpersonal problem-solving, impulsivity and passivity in emotion regulation, and borderline features. Furthermore, mindfulness continued to predict borderline features when controlling for interpersonal problem-solving and impulsive/passive emotion-regulation strategies, as well as when controlling for neuroticism. It is concluded that difficulties with mindfulness may represent a core feature of BPD and that improvement in mindfulness may be a key component of treatment efficacy with BPD. It is recommended that the unique contribution of mindfulness be investigated in future treatment-outcome research.

Abstract:
This chapter reports neurobiological findings relevant to avoidant personality disorder (AvPD) and focuses on several areas and dimensions assumed to be of special interest with respect to it. Because there are many different psychiatric disorders, cognitive styles, and interpersonal patterns that can overlap with AvPD, the chapter is selective in what areas are considered. The chapter begins with a discussion of biological findings that pertain to the diagnosis of AvPD, summarizing developments in genetics, neurotransmitters, and neuroimaging. It then turns to areas of temperament, emotional dysfunction, attachment, and stress regulation. Because these areas are applicable across all personality disorders, the chapter emphasizes how they apply more specifically to AvPD.

Abstract:
Comorbidity is common in body dysmorphic disorder (BDD). Major depressive disorder, social anxiety disorder (social phobia), obsessive-compulsive disorder, and substance use disorders are the most frequently co-occurring Axis I conditions. Except for eating disorders (more common in women) and substance use disorders (more common in men), Axis I comorbidity rates in BDD appear similar across genders. Axis I comorbidity is associated with greater functional impairment and morbidity. Rates of comorbid personality disorders in BDD are high. Disorders from cluster C occur most frequently, with avoidant personality disorder the most common. Associated traits include low self-esteem and high levels of neuroticism, introversion, unassertiveness, social anxiety and inhibition, rejection sensitivity, and perfectionism. Research is needed on the relationship between BDD and psychiatric comorbidity, the causes and consequences of comorbidity in BDD, and the relationship between BDD and associated personality traits.

Abstract:
This chapter discusses the personality disorders. Patients with personality disorders exhibit enduring patterns of behavior that are maladaptive, inflexible, and pervasive. These patients experience difficulty in three core domains of personality functioning: sense of self, interpersonal relationships, and affect regulation. Patients with the cluster A personality disorders (paranoid, schizoid, and schizotypal) tend to suffer profound compromise of functioning. Features that are shared by many patients with the cluster B disorders (borderline, narcissistic, antisocial, and histrionic) include emotional reactivity, poor impulse control, and an unclear sense of identity. Patients with borderline, narcissistic, and antisocial personality disorders are also often characterized by high levels of aggression, whereas patients with histrionic personality disorder share a more favorable prognosis with the cluster C personality disorders (avoidant, dependent, and obsessive-compulsive). Psychotherapy is the backbone of treatment for the personality disorders.
