摘要:

Whether personality disorders should be measured dimensionally or categorically, how they might be best conceptualized, how they relate to 'normal' dimensions of personality, how they are best categorized and how they may overlap with axis I status are all fundamental issues that continue to resist clear resolution.Representative studies recently considering these issues are discussed.

摘要:

There is a small but growing amount of empirical literature on the occurrence, nature, and impact of personality disorders in elderly individuals.Recent work has concentrated on extending longitudinal studies into late life, and the presence and impact of personality disorders in elderly who are depressed and cognitively compromised.

摘要:

A protocol for the assessment of panic disorder is developed.Deriving from a conceptualization that panic disorder is one manifestation of a general neurotic syndrome, an assessment is outlined that covers measures of neurotic symptoms, the underlying vulnerability, diagnosis-relevant information, a treatment-sensitive assessment of panic and its consequences, and indices of panic-related symptoms and cognitions.

摘要:

We review the literature on the genetic epidemiology of four 'neurotic' disorders along with the personality trait of neuroticism.Unipolar depression, phobic disorders, panic disorder, neuroticism, and, to a lesser extent, generalized anxiety disorder are familial. The familiality of these disorders and neuroticism appears to be due to genetic factors, particularly for unipolar depression and neuroticism. Despite substantial interest in the molecular genetics of unipolar depression, panic disorder, and neuroticism, no genes have as yet been definitively identified.

摘要:

Recent studies suggest the nature of the trauma, and the age, prior experiences and psychopathology of the victim significantly influence the psychiatric symptoms that emerge after a trauma.New findings have also confirmed and refined the role played by the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and hippocampus in the pathogenesis of stress.

摘要:

Epidemiological, longitudinal and treatment studies have emphasized the significance of the common somatic presentations of distress (e.g. chronic fatigue, musculoskeletal pain, gastrointestinal symptoms). Aetiological models for these syndromes now emphasize unique genetic, cognitive and neurobiological factors. Treatment paradigms emphasize the central role of cognitive-behavioural approaches but their implementation, particularly in primary care, remains problematic.

摘要:

Recent research has further documented the efficacy of psychotherapy and pharmacotherapy in the treatment of eating disorders.However, follow-up studies have shown that treatment does not benefit all patients, and the disorders are frequently chronic, relapsing conditions. Other recent work has enhanced our understanding of risk factors for and correlates of eating disorders, and may provide direction for future treatment research.

摘要:

The studies of the occurrence of mental disorders include general population prevalence studies, but increasingly include epidemiological studies of risk factors for psychiatric illness.An important development is a beginning integration of genetic and environmental risk factors, as well as prevalence studies outside North America and Western Europe.
