Relationships Between DSM-5 Personality Disorders and Early Maladaptive Schemas from the Perspective of Dimensional and Categorical Comorbidity

ConclusionsBy taking into account the clinical reality of dimensional and categorical comorbidity, this research allows for a more purified image of the relations between PDs and EMSs, uncontaminated by the influence of comorbid PDs. Hence, our results provide relevant insights for the theoretical assumptions underlying PD-targeted cognitive-behavioral and schema therapy.
