依恋与人格障碍的关系:维度诊断的新视角

Abstract

Abstract: Personality disorder refers to an individual's inner experience and behavior patterns persistently deviating from the norms of his culture. It is a common mental illness with clinical challenging and it is socially destructive. The antecedents of personality disorder include susceptibility genes, personality traits, and the environment. Attachment with the primary caregiver at the early stage was the critical environment factor to what extent susceptibility genes and personality traits become pathological personality. The new perspective of dimensional approach to diagnose personality disorder is more suitable to understand the relationship between attachment and personality disorder. The first step of dimensional approach is to assess personality function, which is derived from the attachment theory and psychoanalysis. Self and interpersonal dysfunction is associated with insecure attachment; however, whether it is satisfied with the minimum requirements of impaired personality function to assess personality disorders still needs further study. The second step is to discriminate different types of personality disorder through pathological personality traits. Insecure attachment is moderately correlated to all of the five pathological personality traits, i.e., negative affect, detachment, antagonism, disinhibition, and psychoticism, consistently. However, the diagnosis of personality disorder should integrate the former two steps. There still need more studies of personality disorders assessed by dimensional approach. For future studies, it is necessary to explore directly the contribution of attachment to the development of personality disorders within the new diagnosis paradigm.

Key words: attachment, self-function, interpersonal-function, pathological personality traits
