DSM-III personality disorder clusters in three populations

J Reich and WD Thompson
Department of Psychiatry, University of Iowa College of Medicine, Iowa City 52242.

DSM-III personality disorder clusters had not previously been tested for their ability to distinguish between different population groups. A major obstacle - different demographic characteristics of different populations - was overcome by using logistic regression. Three out- patient psychiatric referral groups (chronic pain, disability applicants and competency to stand trial) provided subjects; adjustments were made for age, race, sex and education. The groups were significantly different in the adjusted prevalence of DSM-III personality disorder clusters. Clinical association between personality disorder and drug or alcohol abuse was again confirmed.
