There is growing clinical evidence implicating disturbances in the separation-individuation phase of child development to adult psychopathology, particularly the borderline personality disorder. The clinical manifestations of such disturbance have been described by several clinicians and theoreticians. The authors have developed an inventory, based on these observations, designed to assess adult manifestations of disturbances in the separation-individuation process. The inventory was given to subjects meeting DSM-III criteria for borderline personality disorders and to a random university employee control group. The subject group had significantly higher scores than the control group. Although more research is needed to further establish the inventory's validity and reliability and to better define its scoring, the preliminary data indicate that it does assess adult manifestations of pathology in this developmental process.
越来越多的临床证据表明，儿童发展的分离个体化阶段的紊乱与成人精神病理学有关，尤其是边缘型人格障碍。几位临床医生和理论家描述了这种紊乱的临床表现。基于这些观察结果，作者编制了一份量表，旨在评估分离个体化过程中紊乱的成人表现。该量表被施用于符合DSM-III边缘型人格障碍标准的受试者以及一个随机抽取的大学员工对照组。受试者组的得分显著高于对照组。尽管需要更多研究来进一步确立该量表的有效性和可靠性，并更好地界定其评分，但初步数据表明，它确实能够评估这一发展过程中病理状况的成人表现。
