Certain types of personality may show predisposition to mental illness, and it has been proposed that most categories of personality disorder could be relegated to the neuroses and psychoses. A continuum model of personality disorder is outlined and tested with a psychiatric sample of 10 inpatients and 10 outpatients ages 19 to 63 years, using the Personality Assessment Schedule. Both the prevalence and severity of personality disorders appear to support a continuum model of personality.
某些类型的人格可能显示出易患精神疾病的倾向，并且有人提出大多数人格障碍类别都可归为神经症和精神病。本文概述了人格障碍的连续体模型，并使用人格评估量表对10名年龄在19至63岁之间的住院患者和10名门诊患者组成的精神病学样本进行了测试。人格障碍的患病率和严重程度似乎都支持人格的连续体模型。
