“…This conceptual discrepancy of endogeneity may have led to the present results. Another and more probable reason is that recent studies dealing with TM showed a prevalence of TM between 30 and 70% in endogenous depressive patients [38], and that the TM personality trait can be recognized in neurotic depressive patients almost as frequently as in endogenous depressive patients [39]. In effect, TM is not specific for endogenous depressive patients.…”

Background: Traditionally, Typus melancholicus (TM) was considered, a priori, to represent unidimensionality. Recent studies have suggested that TM is not a personality trait, but rather a constellation of personality traits. The purpose of this study was to examine whether TM on Kasahara’s Inventory for the Melancholic Type Personality (KIMTP), considered to represent one of the valid TM questionnaires, is comprised of personality dimensions, and if so, which dimension is essential for distinguishing depressive subjects from control subjects. Subjects and Methods: To clarify the dimensionality of TM scores on KIMTP, factor analysis of the TM scores was conducted using principal factor analysis followed by varimax rotation. Comparisons were then made between endogenous depressive patients (n = 38), nonendogenous depressive patients (n = 20), and healthy volunteers (n = 81) for total KIMTP score and factor scores using analysis of covariance, adjusting for sex and age. Results: Factor analysis of KIMTP revealed 2 distinct clusters of items, i.e. ‘harmony in personal relationships’ (factor 1) and ‘social norms’ (factor 2). Endogenous and nonendogenous depressive patients showed significantly higher KIMTP total and factor 1 scores than did control subjects. However, no significant differences were observed for KIMTP total score and scores of individual factors between endogenous and nonendogenous depressive patients. Conclusions: The present results indicate that TM on KIMTP represents a constellation of personality traits, and that the factor ‘harmony in personal relationship’ possesses the essential meaning for assessing TM.

“…Regarding the significance of the TMP concept for the long-term outcome of depression, there have only been three studies to date. The results were conflicting: Nakanishi et al [31] found the TMP to predict an unfavorable course, while Marneros et al [33] and Kronmüller et al [34] found the TMP structure rather to be protective.…”

Personality traits are significant factors in the development and course of depression. Apart from the classical five-factor model of personality, other personality constellations, such as Tellenbach’s Typus melancholicus, have been described in association with depressive disorder. Several instruments have been developed to assess the Typus melancholicus personality (TMP). A systematic comparison of these instruments has not been done to date. The goal of this study was the comparison of four questionnaires used in assessing TMP. Four TMP questionnaires were compared and their relationship to the five-factor model of personality was examined among 264 psychiatric patients and normal controls. It was found that the TMP type represents a trait distinct from those of the five-factor model. TMP inventories had only moderate concurrent validity. The single TMP scales focus on different aspects of the TMP, despite their common core. Both the five-factor personality traits and the TMP scales were able to differentiate a group of depressed patients from control groups. The results show that TMP is not one trait but a personality trait constellation. This leads to the conclusion that a number of dimensions must be taken into consideration in the construction of a TMP inventory. This multidimensionality contributes to the refinement of the TMP concept and differentiates its therapeutic implications.

“…Der von Tellenbach [16] entwickelte Typus melancholicus beschreibt eine prämorbide Persönlichkeitsstruktur, die durch Gewissenhaftigkeit, Fleiû und Festgelegtheit auf Ordentlichkeit charakterisiert ist. In den meisten Studien zu dieser Fragestellung konnte bei etwa 50 % (30 ± 70 %) der Patienten mit Major Depression eine Typus-melancholicus-Persönlichkeitsstruktur nachgewiesen werden [17]. Die Bedeutung dieser Persönlichkeitsstruktur für den Verlauf affektiver Störungen wird kontrovers diskutiert.…”
