Cognitive Psychotherapy

The concept of cognitive egocentrism provides useful guidelines for the cognitive psychotherapy of personality disorders. The patient’s imaginary audience-and “personal fable” (aspects of egocentrism that are normally overcome in late adolescence, according to developmental psychologists, and that unhealthily permeate the thinking of adult personality disorders) may be effectively selected as targets for the therapist’s assessment and intervention. This paper illustrates the hypothesis that therapy should involve criticism of the imaginary audience first, and that this should be followed by exercises of interpersonal perspective-taking. These first steps allow for deliberate, responsible self-disclosure in interpersonal relationships that the patient may wish to develop in the direction of growing degrees of intimacy. The experience of healthy relationships seems necessary in order to relinquish the personal fable.

Are there differential relationships between different types of childhood maltreatment and different types of adult personality pathology?

Childhood Antecedents

AbstractOne of the fundamental limitations of theDiagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders—Fourth Edition, Text Revision(DSM-IV-TR) categorical model of personality disorder classification has been the lack of a strong scientific foundation, including an understanding of childhood antecedents. TheDSM-IV-TRpersonality disorders, however, do appear to be well understood as maladaptive variants of the domains and facets of the general personality structure as conceptualized within the five-factor model (FFM). Integrating the classification of personality disorder with the FFM brings to an understanding of the personality disorders a considerable body of scientific research on childhood antecedents. The temperaments and traits of childhood do appear to be antecedent to the FFM of adult personality structure, and these temperament and traits of childhood and adolescence are the likely antecedents for adult personality disorder, providing further support for the conceptualization of the adult personality disorders as maladaptive variants of the domains and facets of the FFM. Conceptualizing personality disorders in terms of the FFM thereby provides a basis for integrating the classification of abnormal and normal personality functioning across the life span.

AbstractStudies on the developmental course of personality disorders have suggested that adult personality disorders enclose both features with a natural plasticity over time, as well as stable components represented by underlying trait dimensions. The current study broadens this dimensional stability perspective toward an earlier developmental stage, and describes with different indices of stability the longitudinal behavior of basic childhood maladaptive trait dimensions in a community sample of 477 Flemish children. The results underscore structural, rank-order, and within-person stability for the disagreeableness, emotional instability, introversion, and compulsivity dimensions and suggest a similar maturation principle as has been proposed for adults. Individual growth curve analyses indicate that children's maladaptive trait scores generally decrease as they grow older, with a smaller decline for high-scoring individuals. Childhood maladaptive traits and general psychopathology dimensions show similar longitudinal patterns in terms of shape and change over time, supporting a spectrum conceptualization of Axis I related pathology and personality disorder precursors at young age. The implications of these findings for a developmental perspective on dimensional conceptualizations of personality disorders are discussed.
