“…Several indices based on the SCL-90-R scores have been defined, and the PSI is the mean value of 22 items covering the interpersonal sensitivity, anger/ hostility, and paranoid ideation subscales. The PSI reflects the presence and severity of relatively enduring characteristics of the patient, and is, therefore, relevant for the evaluation of severe PDs [25]. For the PSI, pathology is defined by a cut-off score of ≥ 1.0.…”

Background: Epidemiological studies have found reduced health-related quality of life (QoL) in patients with personality disorders (PDs), but few clinical studies have examined QoL in PDs, and none of them are from an ordinary psychiatric outpatient clinic (POC). We wanted to examine QoL in patients with PDs seen at a POC, to explore the associations of QoL with established psychiatric measures, and to evaluate QoL as an outcome measure in PD patients.

“…We selected the SCL-90 Total Score and the Personality Severity Index (PSI) and the Current Symptom Index (CSI) for the analyses. The PSI is the mean score of the subscales Interpersonal Sensitivity (SEN) and Hostility (HOS) and has been found to be strongly related to (severe) personality pathology (Karterud et al, 1995;Starcevic, Bogojevic, & Marinkovic, 2000). The CSI is the mean score of the remaining SCL-90 subscales.…”

This study investigated the psychometric qualities and validity of a Dutch translation of the Inventory of Personality Organization (IPO-NL) in a heterogeneous sample of 371 psychiatric patients and a sample of 181 normal controls. Results show good internal consistency and test-retest reliability. Exploratory factor analyses did not replicate its proposed five-factor structure, but suggested a four-factor structure instead. The IPO-NL appeared to have good concurrent validity across populations, and good convergent validity in terms of associations with measures of psychological distress and personality pathology severity. Taken together, the IPO-NL appears to be a useful instrument for evaluating general personality pathology for clinical practice. Future studies may further articulate its proposed subscales.

“…Participants rate the extent to which they experience that they have had each ailment on a rating scale from 0 (not at all) to 4 (very much). Karterud et al (1995) created The Personality Severity Index (PSI) based on the SCL-90-R subscales of Interpersonal Sensitivity, which measures the vulnerability of the self, AngerHostility, which measures narcissistic rage, and Paranoid Ideation, which measures projective identification. The PSI has been tested on patients with personality disorders and based on the findings from that study, Karterud and coworkers suggested that the PSI reflects personality traits rather than subjective states that fluctuate with alterations in anxiety and affects, as well as in social conflicts and support.…”

The research questions in this study were. How do patients with stress-related behavior and somatoform disorders assess symptoms and self-image compared to healthy individuals, and how are these assessments related to bodily resources, assessed with a physiotherapeutic body examination? The test group (n = 31) consisted of consecutive patients referred to a treatment center specializing in psychosomatic problems. Significant differences (p < or = 0.01) were found between the test and comparison group (n = 22) on all but two of the ten subscales of the Resource-Oriented Body Examination (ROBE II). This was also the case for all the subscales of The Symptom Checklist-90(SCL-90; comparison group n = 52), and for all but three of the eight clusters of the Structural Analysis of Social Behavior (SASB) (comparison group n = 52). For the patient group, the ROBE II subscale Increased respiratory control correlated significantly with the SCL-90 subscales that measures Anger-hostility, Phobic anxiety, Paranoid ideation, with the Personality Severity Index (PSI) and with the SASB clusters Daydreaming and self-neglect, Self-indictment and oppression with r's between 0.38 and 0.50. Body examination with ROBE II might provide a useful assessment tool in patients whose stress-related problems appear to contain associations between psychological and physical problems.
