摘要:

Using regression estimates based upon data about past editions of the DSM, we predict various features of the DSM-V. Included in these predictions are the date of publication, number of pages, total number of categories, number of categories defined using diagnostic criteria, total number of diagnostic criteria, color of the manual, who will be in charge of the task force that creates the DSM-V, and revenues generated by the DSM-V. This article ends with comments on the changes in the editions of the DSMs and an analogy to theSorcerer's Apprentice.

摘要:

At the core of the dependent personality disorder lies an excessive reliance on other people for support, direction, and nurturance. However, because of their interpersonal style, many patients high in dependency have difficulties establishing and maintaining close interpersonal relationships. The present study examined interpersonal problems related to the dependent personality disorder. The relationships between dependency and interpersonal problems were examined in 43 adult psychiatric inpatients and 66 nonpatient adults. All subjects were assessed for social functioning in terms of social behaviors typically displayed, density of their social networks, and subjective feelings of loneliness. Using correlations and multiple regression analyses, results showed that dependency was closely related to social behavior and quality of social networks for both psychiatric inpatients and nonpatient controls. Pearson correlations showed the dependent personality style was related to negative and disruptive interpersonal behaviors. Also, measures of social functioning were related to feelings of loneliness and depression. Finally, interpersonal dependency was strongly related to both depressive symptoms and depressive attitudes, especially in the psychiatric inpatients. The present findings demonstrate the importance of interpersonal dependency as related to interpersonal problems.

摘要:

In the present report, we analyzed the age, sex, and axis I comorbidity of a large sample of patients with dependent personality disorder, and compared the findings with those obtained in patients with other personality disorders. The sample consisted of 3640 consecutive hospital admissions with a DSM-III axis II diagnosis. Of the 342 patients with a dependent diagnosis, 51.2% were over 40 years of age, compared with only 25.7% of the remaining patients with a personality disorder. The dependent sample was 69.6% female compared with 58.6% of those with other types of personality disorders. In general, dependent patients were more likely to have major depression and bipolar disorder than those with other personality disorders. Dysthymia and anxiety disorders occurred no more often than they did in the other personality disorders, as a whole. The rate of alcohol use disorders was lower than that observed in any other personality disorder except schizotypal. The rate of drug use disorders was intermediate between the lowest and highest rates in the other personality disorders.

摘要:

Dependent personality has long been discussed by clinicians, and by empirical researchers more recently. Little empirical evidence so far has been presented as to the type and degree of disability with which it is associated. This report provides some empirical data in that regard. To examine this question, those with and without DSM-III-R dependent personality were compared in male veterans drawn from an outpatient psychiatry clinic (dependent and nondependent groups). Standardized interview assessments were used to determine axes I and II disorders and family history. The dependent personality disorder group had significantly lower socioeconomic status and poorer functioning in the family/home sphere. They had significantly more social phobia, borderline traits, and histrionic traits. In relatives, there was significantly more generalized anxiety disorder, simple phobia, drug abuse, and dramatic personality disorder cluster. There are clearly documentable vulnerabilities and morbidities associated with dependent personality disorder.

摘要:

Adolescents selected for delinquency risk in a community study, their parents, and teachers completed versions of the Child Behavior Checklist, with the raw scores representing the adolescents' level of psychopathology. All three informants rated high risk adolescents as showing higher levels of delinquency as well as other forms of psychopathology, particularly anxiety, aggression, social problems, thought problems, and, to a slightly less consistent extent, withdrawn behavior. In addition, compared with parents and adolescents, teachers rated psychopathology in African-American adolescents higher than that in Anglo-American adolescents. The results are analyzed using knowledge drawn from social and child psychiatry.

摘要:

In this study, we examined whether differential perceptions of poor urban neighborhoods may contribute to narcotic addiction in individuals who grow up in these neighborhoods. Three groups of adult males provided retrospective perceptions of the neighborhoods where they lived at ages 12 to 14. The groups, matched on neighborhood, age, and race, were:narcotic addicts, peer controls-a never-addicted control sample of age-11 associates of the addicts, andcommunity controls-a never-addicted control sample of age-11 peers who did not associate with the addicts. Results suggested clear group differences in perceptions of neighborhood deviance, with addicts perceiving the greatest and community controls the least amount of deviance. However, within groups, subjects who lived in more socially deviant areas, as determined by official records, tended to view their neighborhoods as more deviant than did subjects who lived in less deviant neighborhoods.

摘要:

The aim of the present study was to determine the prevalence of psychiatric disorders in acutely ill medical inpatients. A total of 313 consecutively admitted patients were interviewed using a semistructured psychiatric interview. Diagnoses were made according to DSM-IV diagnostic criteria during two time periods, the 7 days following admission and the month prior to admission. The results showed that 85 patients (27.2%) received a DSM-IV diagnosis, with several patients having comorbid diagnoses. Major depressive disorder was present in 16 patients (5.1%), most of whom also had major depressive disorder in the month prior to admission. This prevalence rate is above that of the general population (1.2% to 2.8%), but less than that reported in most previous studies (20% to 40%). Forty-three patients (13.7%) had an adjustment disorder, 18 patients (5.8%) had an anxiety disorder, and 17 patients (5.4%) had either alcohol dependence or abuse. Nurses were more proficient than medical staff at identifying patients who had received a DSM-IV diagnosis, recognizing 61% of cases compared with 41% for medical staff.
