General personality dimensions, impairment and treatment response in obsessive –compulsive disorder
ABSTRACTGeneral personality dimensions are associated with clinical severity and treatment response in individuals with depression and many anxiety disorders, but little is known about these relationships in individuals with obsessive –compulsive disorder (OCD). Individuals in the current study included 705 adults with OCD who had participated in family and genetic studies of the disorder. Participants self‐completed the Neuroticism, Extraversion, Openness Personality Inventory or Neuroticism, Extraversion, Openness Five‐Fa ctor Inventory‐3. Relationships between personality scores, and subjective impairment and OC...

Prevalence and structure of self ‐other problems in SAPAS screening for personality disorder in a National Sample
ConclusionThese findings suggest that personality disorder features play a significant role for at least one out of ten individuals in the Danish general community. Such features are primarily organized in a pattern of self ‐ and interpersonal functioning, which is consistent with the conceptualization of core personality dysfunction in the DSM‐5 Alternative Model of Personality Disorders and the ICD‐11 Classification of Personality Disorders. © 2019 John Wiley& Sons, Ltd.

Adult attachment anxiety moderates the relation between self ‐reported childhood maltreatment and borderline personality disorder features
AbstractChildhood maltreatment is one of many risk factors for borderline personality disorder (BPD). However, not all individuals with BPD report histories of childhood maltreatment. Therefore, it is necessary to identify factors that contextualize the relation between childhood maltreatment and BPD features. With its emphasis on the developmental origins of emotion regulation, attachment theory provides a useful framework to understand how people are differentially affected by early life stress. The present study examined self ‐reported adult attachment as a moderator in the relation between childhood maltreatment and ...

Interfacing neural constructs with the Hierarchical Taxonomy of Psychopathology: ‘Why’ and ‘how’
AbstractThe Hierarchical Taxonomy of Psychopathology (HiTOP) represents a crucial step forward in the empirical refinement of psychiatric nosology. Although grounded in factor analyses of clinical symptoms and affiliated traits, HiTOP encourages research using measures of other types, including neural ‐system variables, to clarify coherent processes contributing to the hierarchical structure of psychopathology. However, systematic strategies for interfacing HiTOP dimensions with neural‐system variables have not been put forth. We discuss reasons for considering neurobiological systems in rela tion to HiTOP (i.e. ‘why...

Premature mortality of people with personality disorder in the Nottingham Study of Neurotic Disorder
AbstractIt is known that people with personality disorders die prematurely. This may be connected to high levels of co ‐morbidity with other psychiatric disorders. To test whether mortality was independent, deaths were examined in a 31‐year cohort study of anxious and depressed patients (Nottingham Study of Neurotic Disorder) who also had their personality status assessed at baseline. The severity of personality disturbance was assessed using a method previously used to separate personality disorders into ICD‐11 categories. Over the follow‐up period, 71 of the cohort of 201 patients had died. Age at death was 5.1 (...

The wide ‐ranging life outcome correlates of a general psychopathology factor in adolescent psychopathology
ConclusionsFindings suggest that a general factor is related to psychopathology and life outcomes in a meaningful way. Results are discussed in terms of individual differences in propensity to psychopathology and more broadly in light of recent developments concerning the structure of psychopathology. © 2019 The Authors Personality and Mental Health Published by John Wiley& Sons Ltd (Source: Personality and Mental Health)

The role of maladaptive personality domains across multiple levels of the HiTOP structure
This study aimed to examine associations between maladaptive personality traits and psychopathology from the perspective of the hierarchical taxonomy of psychopathology (HiTOP). We tested hierarchical structural models to further validate a portion of the structural components of HiTOP. We also tested a priori personality and psychopathology associations with three levels of the HiTOP hierarchy: general psychopathology, spectra and syndromes/disorders. We used a large sample from the general Australian population who completed a large set of personality and psychopathology inventories online. Confirmatory factor analyses i...

Treatment of personality pathology through the lens of the hierarchical taxonomy of psychopathology: Developing a research agenda
AbstractDespite the emphasis on evidence ‐based treatment for psychological disorders, to date, there has been limited research examining treatment for nine of the 10 categorical personality disorders in DSM‐5 Section 2. This is perhaps not surprising given the complex heterogeneity and co‐morbidity within personality pathology. The hierarchical taxonomy of psychopathology (HiTOP) was proposed to address limitations within the traditional categorical model of the diagnostic system. Within this system are five spectra: detachment, antagonistic externalizing, disinhibited externalizing, thought disorder and internalizi...

Does interpersonal dependency affect therapeutic outcome? A meta ‐analytic review
This study examined whether interpersonal dependency affects therapeutic outcome, using meta ‐analytic techniques to synthesize results from 31 studies (49 effect sizes; overallN = 3807). High levels of dependency were associated with more positive outcome in psychodynamic therapy (r = 0.11,p< 0.05), but not cognitive ‐behavioural therapy (r = −0.05, ns), and were associated with aless positive outcome in pharmacological treatment (r = −0.15,p< 0.001). Other predictors of outcome included patient diagnosis (high levels of dependency were linked with more positive outcome for patients with anxiety disorders bu...

DSM ‐5 personality domains as correlates of non‐suicidal self‐injury severity in an Italian sample of adolescent inpatients with self‐destructive behaviour
AbstractTo evaluate the associations betweenDSM ‐5 alternative model of personality disorder dysfunctional personality domains and the clinician's ratings of non ‐suicidal self‐injury (NSSI) severity, a sample of consecutively admitted Italian adolescent inpatients (N = 100) were administered the Italian translations of theDSM ‐5 Clinician Rating Scale ‐NSSI (CRS‐NSSI), the Personality Inventory forDSM ‐5 (PID ‐5), the Structured Clinical Interview forDSM ‐IV Axis II Personality Disorders, Version 2.0 (SCID ‐II) and the Children's Depression Inventory (CDI). Bivariate association analyses showed that PI...

Personality profiles as potential targets for intervention: Identification and replication
AbstractThe alternative dimensional model of personality disorder (PD) diagnosis, based on personality ‐functioning impairment and pathological traits, opens the door for tailoring treatments to individuals with more homogeneous personality profiles than diagnostic categories. Such a transdiagnostic PD treatment approach requires robust, replicable, personality‐relevant dimensions, which we found using a large battery of self‐report measures: Self‐pathology and negative affectivity (NA) traits, interpersonal pathology and detachment traits, and interpersonal pathology and antagonism traits. Using these dimensions, ...

Personality traits across the psychosis spectrum: A Hierarchical Taxonomy of Psychopathology conceptualization of clinical symptomatology
We examined pe rsonality deviation as a means for explaining symptom variation across individuals with serious mental illness. Participants (N = 312) with psychosis, first‐degree biological relatives and healthy controls underwent comprehensive clinical evaluations that included symptom ratings andDiagnostic Statistical Manual consensus diagnoses. They completed the Personality Inventory forDiagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders,Fifth Edition (PID ‐5), which provides multidimensional assessment of personality disturbances and characterizes psychosis‐relevant phenomena, and the Schizotypal Personality...
