The authors assessed the growth of the literature on the topic of personality disorders before and after publication of DSM-III.
A MEDLINE search was conducted for journal articles concerning the personality disorders that were published from 1966 to 1995.
Contrary to the authors' prediction, the growth of this literature was slower after the publication of DSM-III in 1980 than it was before that date. Other areas of psychopathology, such as Alzheimer's disease and posttraumatic stress disorder, have literatures whose growth rates since 1980 have exceeded their growth rates before publication of DSM-III.
Over one-half of the individual personality disorders (e.g., histrionic and passive-aggressive) have either very small literatures or literatures with negative growth rates. Only three personality disorders (i.e., antisocial, borderline, and schizotypal) have modestly growing literatures.
作者评估了《精神疾病诊断与统计手册》第三版（DSM - III）出版前后关于人格障碍主题的文献增长情况。
对1966年至1995年发表的有关人格障碍的期刊文章进行了医学文献数据库（MEDLINE）检索。
与作者的预测相反，1980年DSM - III出版后，该主题文献的增长速度比出版前要慢。其他精神病理学领域，如阿尔茨海默病和创伤后应激障碍，自1980年以来其文献的增长速度超过了DSM - III出版前的增长速度。
超过半数的个体人格障碍（如表演型和被动攻击型）要么文献量极少，要么文献呈现负增长。只有三种人格障碍（即反社会型、边缘型和分裂型）的文献量有适度增长。
