How to Assess Interpersonal Impacts
The Impact Message Inventory-Circumplex (IMI; Kiesler & Schmidt, 1993; Kiesler, Schmidt, & Wagner, 1997) assesses the interpersonal dispositions of a target person, not by asking the target person directly, but by assessing the covert responses or “impact messages” (i.e., feelings, thoughts, and behavioral tendencies) that the target evokes in another person. The IMI asks the […]

How to assess Interpersonal Values and Motives
Individuals’ feelings and behaviors in interpersonal situations depend in part on their interpersonal values. For example, being told what to do may be a relief to someone who values submission, but a humiliation to someone who values dominance. Consequently, many psychotherapies seek to change feelings and behavior by changing values; for example, cognitive and rational–emotive […]

Personality Disorders and taxometric research
The categorical versus dimensional status of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders’s (DSM-IV; APA, 1994) axis II is a particularly important question, which taxometric research should play a major role in resolving. Although the DSM-IV represents PDs as distinct categories and diagnoses them as simply present or absent, dimensional models of PDs are […]

What is Personality Diatheses
Dimensions of normal personality often shade into abnormality or at least social undesirability at one pole. However, only a few of these dimensions are explicitly conceptualized as vulnerabilities for psychopathology. These “diatheses” are particularly important constructs in the study of abnormal personality. If they are shown to be precursors of mental disorders, they may supply […]

Defining the Domains of Normality and Psychopathology
A pervasive problem in the study of normal–abnormal personality is how to define the domains of normality and psychopathology. There is no gold standard or widely accepted definition of what makes one person “normal” and another “abnormal.” The most widely accepted definition of PD is the one offered by the DSM (e.g., DSM-IV-TR; American Psychiatric […]

Implicit and Explicit Measures of Personality
McClelland et al. (1989) distinguished between implicit and explicit methods of personality assessment. Explicit measures, such as self-report instruments, assess psychological characteristics and needs individuals recognize about themselves and which they can articulate. In contrast, by analyzing a representative sample of an individual’s behavior during the assessment process, implicit or performance-based measures, such as the […]

What is Personality Failure
Many of the diffi culties created by using extreme trait levels to defi ne disorder occur because trait constructs represent proclivities—tendencies to exhibit a given class of behaviors—whereas the concept of disorder refers more to competencies and disturbances of function. This suggests the need to defi ne disorder independently of trait extremity. There is also […]

Feeding Disorder as a Presentation of Maternal Schizophrenic Illness
Alicia, aged 11 months, was referred from a medical ward, where she had been admitted for investigation of poor growth, nutritional deficiencies and a fracture associated with rickets.
