Background Knowledge of the prevalence and correlates of personality disorders in the community is important for identifying treatment needs and for provision of psychiatric services. Aims To estimate the prevalence of personality disorders in a community sample and to identify demographic subgroups with especially high prevalence. Method Clinical psychologists used the International Personality Disorder Examination to assess DSM-IV and ICD-10 personality disorders in a sample of 742 subjects, ages 34–94 years, residing in Baltimore, Maryland. Logistic regression was used to evaluate the association between demographic characteristics and DSM - IV personality disorder clusters. Results The estimated overall prevalence of DSM - IV personality disorders was 9%. Cluster A disorders were most prevalent in men who had never married. Cluster B disorders were most prevalent in young men without a high school degree, and cluster C disorders in high school graduates who had never married. Conclusions Approximately 9% of this community sample has a DSM-IV personality disorder. Personality disorders are over-represented in certain demographic subgroups of the community

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.

Personality disorder is an incapacitating mental illness that leads the individual to some negative consequences, often deadly. However, to date, no studies have been conducted to determine the prevalence of personality disorders in Indonesia.  This could happen due to the fact that personality disorders often co-morbid with other mental disorders making them difficult to detect. According to Alternative Model for Personality Disorders (AMPD), personality disorders can be diagnosed by the presence of maladaptive personality factors in oneself. There are five maladaptive personality factors according to the model: Negative Affectivity, Detachment, Disinhibition, Antagonism, and Psychoticism. Therefore, this study aims to get an overview of the maladaptive personality factors and describe the maladaptive personality characteristics in order to detect the symptoms of personality disorders in community sample. Through survey and descriptive analysis of 608 emerging adults (M age= 19.66 y.o, SD = 1.895), the study found that 1.2% are classified in High Personality Dysfunction category and 38.8% of the participants are classified in Low Personality Dysfunction category. The results showed that Negative Affectivity factor has the highest score for each group of the participants. In addition, the study also found the largest characteristic difference between groups of participants lies in the Psychoticism and Detachment factors. The study concludes by providing some avenues for further research and suggestions for mental health practitioners, and society in general.  Gangguan kepribadian adalah gangguan mental serius dan dapat menyebabkan beberapa konsekuensi negatif pada penderitanya, termasuk kematian. Namun, hingga saat ini belum ditemukan studi mengenai prevalensi gangguan kepribadian di Indonesia. Hal tersebut dapat terjadi karena gangguan kepribadian seringkali bersanding dengan gangguan mental lain sehingga sulit terdeteksi. Menurut model alternatif untuk gangguan kepribadian (AMPD), gangguan kepribadian dapat dideteksi dengan keberadaan faktor kepribadian maladaptif dalam diri seseorang. Berdasarkan pendekatan AMPD, terdapat lima faktor kepribadian maladaptif, yaitu Negative Affectivity, Detachment, Disinhibiton, Antagonism, dan Psychoticism. Maka dari itu, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendapatkan gambaran atau profil kelima faktor kepribadian maladaptif guna memindai gejala gangguan kepribadian pada sampel dan gambaran karakteristik masyarakat secara umum. Melalui survei dan analisis deskriptif terhadap 608 orang dewasa awal (Musia = 19.66 tahun, SD = 1.895), ditemukan partisipan dengan tingkat disfungsi kepribadian tinggi sebesar 1.2% dan partisipan dengan tingkat disfungsi kepribadian rendah sebesar 38.8%. Hasil juga menunjukkan bahwa faktor negative affectivity adalah faktor yang paling besar dimiliki oleh tiap-tiap kelompok partisipan. Selain itu, perbedaan karakteristik paling besar antar kelompok partisipan terletak pada faktor psychoticism dan detachment. Studi disimpulkan dengan memberikan beberapa usulan untuk penelitian lebih lanjut, psikoterapis, dan masyarakat secara umum.
