The role of emotion regulation in predicting personality dimensions
Abstract
Dimensional models of personality have been widely acknowledged in the field as alternatives to a trait‐based system of nomenclature. While the importance of dimensional models has been established, less is known about the constructs underlying these personality dimensions. Emotion regulation is one such potential construct. The goal of the current study was to examine the relationship between personality dimensions and emotion regulation. More specifically, the predictive capacity of emotion regulation in accounting for personality dimensions and symptoms on the Schedule for Nonadaptive and Adaptive Personality...

Identifying a borderline personality disorder prodrome: Implications for community screening
Abstract
Elucidating early signs and symptoms of borderline personality disorder (BPD) has important implications for screening and identifying youth appropriate for early intervention. The purpose of this study was to identify dimensions of child temperament and psychopathology symptom severity that predict conversion to a positive screen for BPD over a 14‐year follow‐up period in a large, urban community sample of girls (n = 2 450). Parent and teacher reports of child temperament and psychopathology symptom severity assessed when girls were ages 5–8 years were examined as predictors of new‐onset BPD cases whe...

Using the SAPAS to identify risk for personality disorders among psychiatric outpatients in India: A feasibility study
Abstract
Personality disorders (PDs) are common among psychiatric outpatients and are associated with increased morbidity and worse treatment outcomes. Epidemiological research conducted among this population in Asian countries is limited, reflecting a significant gap in the current literature. One barrier to this research is the lack of appropriate screening tools. The current research assessed the feasibility of using the SAPAS (Standardized Assessment of Personality–Abbreviated Scale) screening tool to identify individuals at high risk of PD in an Indian psychiatric outpatient population and provides an initial estima...

Interpersonal barriers to recovery from borderline personality disorder: A qualitative analysis of patient perspectives
Abstract
Social‐environmental factors have been found to be an integral part in the recovery process for individuals with psychiatric disabilities. There are few studies that have obtained patient perspectives of how their social and treatment environments help facilitate or impede the recovery process. The following study examined the self‐reported interpersonal barriers to recovery among a sample of individuals (N = 31) with borderline personality disorder who were receiving dialectical behaviour therapy. The goal of study was to identify self‐reported problematic behaviour that interferes with recovery goals and...

Attitudes to personality disorder of staff working in high ‐security and medium‐security hospitals
This study aimed to investigate staff attitudes towards personality disorder in high‐security and medium‐security forensic–psychiatric hospitals in the UK. The Attitude to Personality Disorder Questionnaire was completed by 132 participants who were all current employees with clinical roles. Staff attitudes to personality disorder in the current study were significantly less positive than in comparable studies in similar settings. Having completed staff training surrounding personality disorder and being from a non‐nursing professional background were the best predictors of positive attitudes to personality disorde...

Estimating the prevalence of borderline personality disorder in mothers involved in youth protection services
Abstract
Characteristics of borderline personality disorder (BPD) can undermine maternal capacity and in some cases lead to involvement with youth protection services (YPS). Yet, few studies exist on the prevalence of maternal BPD in this context and on the comparison of these families with families with other maternal psychiatric disorders or families with no mental illness within YPS. The current study surveyed 291 caseworkers working with mothers whose children and adolescents are followed by YPS. After reported prevalence was adjusted with validation procedures, the prevalence of maternal BPD in a sample of 1875 mother...

The influence of gender on the relationship between psychopathy and five moral foundations
Abstract
Previous research has demonstrated that individuals higher in psychopathy are less concerned about preventing harm and preserving fairness than individuals lower in psychopathy, yet it is unclear whether this is true for both genders. Females have been shown to be more concerned about moral issues related to preventing harm, being fair and maintaining purity, and males are more concerned about in‐group loyalty and respecting authority. In addition, females on average are more empathic, less willing to cause harm and may be less sensitive to fairness. The goal of this study was to examine gender's influence on th...

High novelty seeking as a predictor of antisocial behaviour in early adulthood
ConclusionAlcohol and substance use disorders mediate the association between NS and antisocial behaviours in early adulthood. NS may be a useful endophenotype for investigating the causation of externalizing behaviours. Copyright © 2017 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. (Source: Personality and Mental Health)

Nidotherapy in the successful management of comorbid depressive and personality disorder
Abstract
Nidotherapy is a new form of psychological therapy that aims to improve mental health by a systematic and collaborative manipulation of the environment in all its forms without focusing on alleviation of symptoms. Following treatment with nidotherapy, we describe a dramatic, and continuing, improvement in a woman with comorbid severe depressive illness and borderline personality disorder. She had made repeated serious suicide attempts over the previous 25 years and had received many drug and psychological treatments without success. The nidotherapy solution enabled her to leave home and achieve greater autonomy. ...

Examination of DSM ‐5 Section III avoidant personality disorder in a community sample
Abstract
The current research evaluated the continuity between DSM‐5 Section II and Section III diagnostic operationalizations of avoidant personality disorder (AvPD). More specifically, the study had three aims: (1) to examine which personality constructs comprise the optimal trait constellation for AvPD; (2) to investigate the utility of the proposed structure of the Section III AvPD diagnosis, in regard to combining functional impairment (criterion A) and a dimensional measure of personality (criterion B) variables; and (3) to determine whether AvPD‐specific impairment confers incremental meaningful contribution abo...

Parent –adolescent concordance on the Revised Diagnostic Interview for Borderlines (DIB‐R) and the Childhood Interview for Borderline Personality Disorder (CI‐BPD)
Abstract
While the degree of concordance between parent and adolescent self‐report of internalizing and externalizing pathology is well studied, virtually nothing is known about concordance in borderline pathology and the implication of parent–adolescent discrepancies for outcomes. The present study aimed to (1) examine discrepancies between parents and adolescents on two interview‐based measures of borderline personality disorder (BPD)—the Revised Diagnostic Interview for Borderlines (DIB‐R22) and the Childhood Interview for Borderline Personality Disorder (CI‐BPD23); and (2) investigate the implications of di...
