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 (...

A pilot study of the efficacy of an adventure therapy programme on borderline personality disorder: A pragmatic controlled clinical trial
The objective of this study was to assess the response to AT in comparison with treatment as usual (based on cognitive ‐behavioural therapy) in patients with BPD. Regarding the comparison of the differences post‐therapy–pre‐therapy between both groups, some metabolic variables improved more in the AT group, with medium–large effect sizes. Almost all psychometric variables evolved better in the AT group, wi th negligible effects. AT could be considered in BPD treatment because it results in healthier lifestyle habits and increases functionality and quality of life in patients who are prone to self‐destruction. ...

The prevalence of severe personality disorder in perpetrators of homicide
ConclusionsSevere personality disorder is highly prevalent among perpetrators of homicide, and the finding that it is more prevalent when strangers are the victims stresses both the need for early identification of those at risk of developing severe personality disorder and the development of appropriate early preventive interventions. There is also a need for the development of effective treatment and interventions for those with established severe personality disorder and better identification of this level of disorder by psychiatrists. The forthcoming ICD ‐11 classification should help in this endeavour. © 2021 The A...

Livesley's lament on classifying personality pathology: A commentary
AbstractThis commentary on Livesley's paper in this special issue on International Classification of Diseases (ICD) ‐11's personality disorder (PD) section addresses each of four issues that Livesley claims are impeding progress towards an evidence‐based system for the classification of personality pathology. I focus my commentary on the third issue, but also comment briefly on the others. Regarding, first, t he complexity of personality pathology and, second, problematic assumptions about the nature of personality pathology, I contend that Livesley's comments are accurate, but omit that the fundamental impediment is t...

Long ‐term changes in attachment patterns after psychotherapy in outpatients with Axis I and personality disorders vs. Axis I disorders only

Pre ‐treatment attachment scores were the only significant predictors of these scores at follow‐up. © 2020 John Wiley& Sons, Ltd. (Source: Personality and Mental Health)

Advancing understanding of the classification of broad autism phenotype and attention ‐deficit/hyperactivity disorder symptom dimensions within the Hierarchical Taxonomy of Psychopathology
AbstractResearch on personality and psychopathology associations has informed the classification of many symptom dimensions within the Hierarchical Taxonomy of Psychopathology (HiTOP). However, classification of symptom dimensions defining autism and attention ‐deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) within the HiTOP framework remains unclear in many ways. To address this issue, we examined the joint factor structure of (a) measures assessing characteristics relevant to ADHD and autism and (b) normal range personality traits in a sample of 547 adults recr uited from Amazon Mechanical Turk, many of whom reported elevated au...
