Homicidal Ideation and Forensic Psychopathology: Evidence From the 2016 Nationwide Emergency Department Sample (NEDS)
Journal of Forensic Sciences, 2019Co-Authors: Jason T. Carbone, Michael G Vaughn, Katherine J. Holzer, Matthew DelisiAbstract:Homicide is the most serious and costly criminal offense and better forensic and criminological understanding of homicidal ideation as a potential psychobehavioral precursor to homicidal conduct is critical. Using data from the 2016 Nationwide Emergency Department Sample (NEDS) from the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP) distributed by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), we found 64,910 cases of homicidal ideation among a sample of 25.6 + million-a prevalence of 0.25%. Numerous conditions conferred increased substantially the likelihood of homicidal ideation including antisocial Personality Disorder (2406%), schizoaffective Disorder (1821%), borderline Personality Disorder (1557%), Paranoid Personality Disorder (1,504%), schizophrenia (1,143%), obsessive-compulsive Personality Disorder (921%), brief psychotic Disorder (771%), unspecified psychosis (737%), avoidant Personality Disorder (596%), and schizoid Personality Disorder (571%), delusional Disorder (546%), and other psychotic Disorder (504%). Homicidal ideation is comorbid with serious psychiatric and behavioral problems and has important implications for offender typologies and homicidality.

Effects of Personality Disorder and Impulsivity on Emotional Adaptations in Prison Among Women Offenders
Psychiatric Quarterly, 2012Co-Authors: Senik T. Mahmood, Michael G Vaughn, Stephen J. Tripodi, Kimberly A. Bender, Rachel D. SchwartzAbstract:The present study sought to better understand the influence of Personality Disorders and impulsivity on women’s ability to adapt to incarceration. We analyzed the influence of Personality Disorders as screened with the Structured Clinical Interview for Personality Disorders, and impulsivity as assessed with the Barratt Impulsivity Scale on depression and anxiety, sleeping problems, and feeling afraid of being attacked in prison among a large sample of women incarcerated in a Virginia prison. Results from regression models indicated that schizotypal, borderline, avoidant and dependent Personality Disorders and cognitive impulsivity were significant predictors of symptoms of anxiety and depression net of demographic covariates. Women possessing a diagnosis of Paranoid Personality Disorder were at increased odds of having difficulty sleeping in prison and borderline, dependent, and Paranoid Personality Disorder were at increased odds of experiencing fear in prison. Women who had been in prison before were significantly less likely to experience these problems. Implications of study findings for policies and practices involving women offenders are discussed.

sociodemographic behavioral and substance use correlates of reckless driving in the united states findings from a national sample
Journal of Psychiatric Research, 2011Co-Authors: Michael G Vaughn, Rebecca S Define, Brian E Perron, Matt Delisi, Qiang Fu, Kevin M. Beaver, Matthew O. HowardAbstract:This study examined the sociodemographic, behavioral, psychiatric, and substance use correlates of three forms of reckless driving using a nationally representative sample of U.S. adults. Participants were 43,093 adults from the National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions (NESARC). Interviewers administered the Alcohol Use Disorder and Associated Disabilities Interview Schedule – DSM-IV version (AUDADIS-IV). This measure provides extensive sociodemographic data as well as diagnoses for mood, anxiety, Personality, and substance use Disorders. Reckless driving was significantly associated with male gender, lower levels of income, being born in the U.S., and numerous forms of antisocial behaviors. Fully adjusted models revealed significant effects with respect to substance use Disorders across categories of reckless drivers with those having their licenses revoked or suspended being particularly more likely to be diagnosed with antisocial (AOR = 3.35, 95% CI = 2.54, 4.42) and Paranoid Personality Disorder (AOR = 1.56, 95% CI = 1.07, 2.29). All three reckless driving groups were more likely to have a family history of antisocial behavior than non-reckless drivers. Study findings provide information from which targeted behavioral interventions can be applied.

Are Personality Disorders associated with social welfare burden in the United States
Journal of Personality Disorders, 2010Co-Authors: Michael G Vaughn, Brian E Perron, Matt Delisi, Devin Beaver, Matthew O. HowardAbstract:This study examined the association between Personality Disorders and use of major social welfare services in a nationally representative sample of U.S. adults (N = 43,093). Social welfare services received and diagnoses of Personality, substance use, mood, and anxiety Disorders were assessed with the Alcohol Use Disorder and Associated Disabilities Interview Schedule-DSM-IV-version. Analyses quantified the association between Personality Disorders and forms of public assistance while controlling for numerous confounds. Logistic regression analyses revealed dependent Personality Disorder, Paranoid Personality Disorder, antisocial Personality Disorder, and avoidant Personality Disorder were significantly associated with increased odds of receiving public assistance. In contrast, persons diagnosed with histrionic, schizoid, and obsessive-Personality Disorder were not significantly more likely to receive any public welfare service. Development of effective prevention and treatment of Personality Disorders would likely lead to reductions in overall social welfare burden.

varenicline precipitating psychosis in a patient with no previous psychiatric history a case report of a spanish patient who was later diagnosed with Paranoid Personality Disorder
Clinical Schizophrenia & Related Psychoses, 2012Co-Authors: Fernando Espi Forcen, Fernando Espi Martinez, Amparo Martinez MoyaAbstract:Varenicline is gaining popularity for the treatment of nicotine dependence. General treatment guidelines recommend monitoring for behavioral changes in patients with a mental illness. There are very few cases reported on patients developing psychiatric symptoms with no previous history. We are reporting the case of a Spanish patient who had developed a first-psychotic episode after he was started on varenicline. He was ultimately diagnosed with a Paranoid Personality Disorder. Therefore, prior to starting a patient on varenicline, the clinician must identify possible Paranoid and other cluster A Personality traits. It is essential to monitor for new onset of psychotic symptoms during the treatment with this drug.

delusional psychosis in individuals diagnosed with Paranoid Personality Disorder a qualitative study
Current Psychology, 2014Co-Authors: Soren Fryd BirkelandAbstract:There is scant knowledge on the presentation of Paranoid Personality Disorder in clinical psychiatric settings. In this study, the charts of 15 consecutive patients diagnosed with Paranoid Personality Disorder were retrospectively analyzed. Information was gathered concerning descriptive behavioral and psychopathological characteristics including occurrence of delusional psychosis. With respect to ICD-10 research criteria, ‘excessive sensitivity’ and ‘self-reference’ were most consistently present. Conversely, ‘suspiciousness’ and ‘jealousy’ were only recorded in half of the individuals. Seven individuals had episodes of delusional psychosis and four others were for periods of time suspected of delusion development. Occurrence of delusions was associated with a prolonged psychiatric course. All individuals had positive depression ratings. Implications for conceptualization of Paranoid Personality Disorder are discussed.

Paranoid Personality Disorder and the schizophrenia spectrum-Where to draw the line?
Personality and Mental Health, 2013Co-Authors: Soren Fryd BirkelandAbstract:By means of a case vignette, this study explores the clinical intersection between Paranoid Personality Disorder and other schizophrenia-spectrum illness. Even though the patient described had paramount signs of a Paranoid Personality Disorder and was diagnosed as such, psychopathological symptoms extended considerably beyond the common concept and diagnostic criteria of the Disorder. Management strategies included psychopharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions, yet psychosocial functioning permanently appeared defective. While there is a persistent need for an opportunity to distinguish the characteristic syndromal pattern of Paranoid Personality attributes, the case exemplifies the challenges associated with classifying some largely suspicious and distrustful eccentrics within the schizophrenia spectrum.

Paranoid Personality Disorder and Sociodemography: a 25-year Study of First Admissions to a Danish General Psychiatric Hospital
Nordic Psychology, 2011Co-Authors: Soren Fryd BirkelandAbstract:Paranoid Personality Disorder is predominantly characterized by suspiciousness, self-reference, and exquisite sensitivity. Scarce research exists on the sociodemographic characteristics of patients with a Paranoid Personality Disorder. A chart review was conducted on patients first admitted to a Danish general psychiatric hospital between 1975 and 2000 with a) an original Paranoid (and/or sensitive type) Personality Disorder, b) no primary organic or schizophreniform Disorder, and c) at least three denominated traits in keeping with ICD-10 criteria for Paranoid Personality Disorder. Among 10,400 first admitted patients, 15 patients fulfilled the criteria set forth. Most patients were first admitted in the initial third of the period. The male/female ratio was 11/4 and the mean age at first psychiatric admission was 44 years. With regard to education, patient profiles mostly mirrored that of the general population and patients equally lived in towns and rural areas. At last psychiatric contact, 10 male pat...

a big five facet analysis of a Paranoid Personality Disorder the validity of the hds sceptical scale of subclinical paranoia
Journal of Individual Differences, 2015Co-Authors: Adrian Furnham, John CrumpAbstract:Abstract. Around 4,100 British adults completed the NEO-PI-R (Costa & McCrae, 1985), which measures the Big Five Personality factors at the Domain and the Facet level, as well as the Hogan Development Survey (Hogan & Hogan, 2009) measure of Paranoid Personality Disorder called Sceptical. This study sought to validate this measure by comparing NEO facet correlational results with other studies. The Sceptical score from the HDS was the criterion variable in the correlations and multiple regressions. Sceptical people were Disagreeable, Neurotic, and Conscientious. Facet analysis showed them low on Trust, Compliance, and Straightforwardness but high on Depression and Angry Hostility. Limitations of the study are discussed.
