SUMMARYObjective — To asses the capacity of the Parental Bonding Instrument (PBI) to discriminate between normal subjects and clinical samples and between with different psychiatric diagnosis. Design — The present paper analyzes the studies published between 1979 and 1995, which have used the PBI in normal subjects and clinical samples and have reported the respective means and standard deviations obtained on the two PBI dimensions: affection and control. Multiple comparisons were carried out between the mean scores of affection and control of: 1) samples with the same psychiatric diagnosis (intragroup comparison); 2) samples with different psychiatric diagnoses (intergroup comparison); 3) normal subjects and clinical samples. Results — Of the 46 studies with normal and clinical subjects, 23 studies were selected for the analysis, reporting means and standard deviations and specifying the diagnostic criteria. Samples with the same psychiatric diagnosis had similar affection and control scores. With the exception of bipolar affective disorders and avoidant personality disorders, the prevalent parental style was for all diagnostic groups the affectionless control style. Within the affectionless control style, the PBI discriminated between panic attacks, borderline personality and drug addiction but not between schizophrenia, unipolar depression and anxiety disorder. The PBI discriminated also between normal subjects samples and samples with anxiety disorder, schizophrenia, bipolar affective disorder, personality disorder and drug addiction respectively. Conclusion — The results confirm previous suggestions from single studies that the perceived parental style as measured by the PBI can be considered a good predictor for the presence of psychiatric disorders excluding panic attacks, avoidant personality disorders and unipolar affective disorders. Although the different diagnostic groups do not differ in their perceived parental style (affectionless control), significant differences between some diagnostic groups within this category suggest that the PBI might have some specificity as well.

The present paper compares course and outcome of adolescent anorexia nervosa to that of adult onset forms. In recent studies earlier onset of anorexia nervosa was associated with higher recovery rates and a lower mortality, although even in adolescent patients anorexia nervosa takes a prolonged course. A chronic eating disorder bears a high risk of other comorbid psychiatric or personality disorders. The most prevalent disturbances were anxiety and affective disorders and anxious–fearful–obsessive personality disorders, respectively. Patients who substantially overcame their eating disorder did not differ from normal controls in respect to psychosocial functioning, e.g. family relationships, partnership and occupational status. These results should encourage us to treat the eating disorder vigorously.

Readmission Risk

BackgroundThe relative burden and risk of readmission for people with personality disorders in hospital settings is unknown.AimsTo compare hospital use of people with personality disorder with that of people with other mental health diagnoses, such as psychoses and affective disorders.MethodNaturalistic study of hospital presentations for mental health in a large community catchment. Mixed-effects Cox regression and survival curves were generated to examine risk of readmission for each group.ResultsOf 2894 people presenting to hospital, patients with personality disorder represented 20.5% of emergency and 26.6% of in-patients. Patients with personality disorder or psychoses were 2.3 times (95% CI 1.79–2.99) more likely than others to re-present within 28 days. Personality disorder diagnosis increases rate of readmission by a factor of 8.7 (s.e. = 0.31), marginally lower than psychotic disorders (10.02, s.e. = 0.31).ConclusionsPersonality disorders place significant demands on in-patient and emergency departments, similar to that of psychoses in terms of presentation and risk of readmission.Declaration of interestNone.

Objective: to study clinical-biological features of affective disorders including their comorbidity with coronary artery disease and personality disorders and efficacy of psychopharmacotherapy in these patients.Material and Methods. In the first group at a heart station 290 patients with chronic coronary artery disease and affective disorders (209 men and 81 women) were fully examined. The second group included 120 patients (40 men and 80 women) of a psychiatric hospital with affective disorder comorbid with personality disorders. The third group included the study of 29 patients with depressive disorders and a control group (n=21).Results. Data on significant clinical-dynamic, biological and therapeutic features of affective disorders comorbid with coronary artery disease were obtained. It was revealed that presence of a comorbid personality disorder in the case of affective disorders causes the necessity to use a combined psychopharmacotherapy more frequently, worsens indicators of the efficacy of the psychopharmacotherapy of current episode of depression, and increases negative estimation of their social adaptation by these patients. Dysregulation of the processes of programmed cell death in patients with depressive disorders was found.Conclusion. Obtained data testified to the high degree of comorbidity of affective disorders with coronary artery disease and personality disorders which worsened the prediction of the course and indicators of the efficacy of psychopharmacotherapy of these disorders. In patients with depressive disorders the specific weight of mononuclears of peripheral blood was increased in the state of apoptosis.
