  • Commentary on The Suicidal Risk in Severe Personality Disorders: Differential Diagnosis and Treatment
    Journal of Personality Disorders, 2001
    Co-Authors: Lorna Smith Benjamin, Joel Paris
    Abstract:

    This important article describes transference-focused psychotherapy (TFP) for the treatment of patients whose chronic suicidality is a result of a Character Disorder. Likely candidates will probably carry the label Borderline, Histrionic, Schizoid, and Paranoid personality Disorders. Selected individuals in other categories may also be eligible, including some forms of narcissistic personality Disorder or schizotypal Disorder. These very demanding, chronically suicidal individuals exhaust therapists and otherwise consume massive amounts of system resources. Because of the need to know what to do with these patients, it is to be expected that many clinician readers will hurry through the article, eager to arrive at the “what to do about it” part. Because a description of treatment is so central to the thesis, it deserves repetition here:

  • Inpatient Psychiatry: Diagnosis and Treatment
    JAMA, 1992
    Co-Authors: Ann Halsell Appelbaum
    Abstract:

    As a long-time teacher of psychiatric residents, but one who still remembers vividly the hunger of a young psychiatrist for an orderly approach to the chaos and unfamiliarity of the psychiatric hospital, I welcome this new version of Dr Sederer's text. He and a panel of distinguished contributors have addressed a wide range of topics within a book small enough to carry around for ready reference. The book is in two sections, of which the first takes up the diagnosis and treatment of the eight major diagnostic categories students most often encounter on inpatient psychiatric units, appropriately omitting the exotic, the controversial, and the less serious disturbances, except to mention them as part of differential diagnosis. The eight categories (depression, mania, schizophrenia, borderline Character Disorder, eating Disorders, substance abuse, human immunodeficiency virus infection, and organic mental Disorders) are treated with admirable clarity. Each chapter, after defining the Disorder, offers a

  • mmpi 2 profiles of clients with substance dependencies accessing a therapeutic community treatment facility
    Sensoria: A Journal of Mind Brain and Culture, 2010
    Co-Authors: Annemaree Polimeni, Susan M Moore, Stefan Gruenert
    Abstract:

    The aim of the study was to describe the psychological profile, as measured by the MMPI-2, of 921 clients assessed after five weeks admission to a Therapeutic Community (TC). Overall, the profile of the sample showed prominent peaks reflecting Character Disorder (high Pd) and disturbed thinking and affect (high Sc). The validity scales suggested that the sample was admitting to personal and emotional difficulties and requesting assistance with these problems. The psychotic triad was somewhat more elevated than the neurotic triad indicating distress about behaviours or symptoms related to psychotic Disorders. Psychopathology was greater for women, who reported significantly higher scores on confusion (F), hypochondriasis (Hs), Character Disorder (Pd), and hysteria (Hy) than men, although the shape of male and female MMPI-2 profiles was similar. Those aged up to 35 years scored significantly higher on five clinical scales (depression (D), Character Disorder (Pd), paranoia (Pa), psychopathic deviate (Pd) and schizophrenia (Sc)) than an older (over 35) group; they also significantly differed on all the validity scales from their older counterparts. Clients who completed the MMPI-2 at five weeks but stayed less than four months at the TC were more likely to be younger, female and admit to psychopathology (lower K-defensiveness scores, higher mania) than those who went on to complete the first phase of treatment. The results suggest that substance dependent clients seeking treatment at a TC exhibit considerable psychological disturbance; more so for females and the younger cohort.
