“…However, it was recognized that traits such as charm and selfconfidence, fearlessness and low reactivity to stress could probably be favorable in the workplace [32]. Conversely, few studies are available specifically investigating the personal consequences that may affect individuals with high DT scores, being most of these which focus on the increased risk of depressive episodes or suicidal behaviors [18,99].…”

“…Coherently, several research studies demonstrated no apparent relationship between narcissism and depression [16,18]. However, suicidal ideation and risk is not rare in individuals with narcissism traits, even though the wish to kill oneself can also emerge without the presence of a clinically relevant depressed state [98,99]. Within this context, suicidal ideation and feelings usually may grow out as a consequence of the desperate need to regulate own's self-esteem and protect a pathological selfimage of perfection [99].…”

How many kinds of malevolent characters are out there? In line with Paulhus and Williams (2002) the answer is three, namely the Dark Triad of Machiavellianism, Narcissism, and Psychopathy. Dark traits (DT) are associated with emotional deficits, exploitation, immoral strategic thinking, and risky behaviors. All three traits have been largely investigated mainly during the last decades. The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview about the available literature regarding the characteristics of personality traits associated with the DT, by focusing on the main consequences of the DT from a psychopathological and psychiatric perspective. Studies found a strong association between DT traits and several types of negative psychosocial outcomes such as substance use, sexual promiscuity, aggression, and crime. Nevertheless, there is specific literature showing the advantages of scoring high DT traits, for example the assumption of positions of authority over other people, and the expression of low levels of social anxiety. Although the literature mainly focuses on the consequences that DT traits may have for society in general, there is a lack of studies investigating the personal repercussions, in the psychopathological and/or psychiatric dimensions in those individuals scoring high DT traits. Therefore, further research is needed to clarify how the different personality dark traits may interact with each other and modulate not only the individual’s life choices but also how and whether DT traits may predispose or not to the onset of a specific psychiatric disorder.

“…In this context, clinicians often associate these symptoms with the BPD diagnosis, and patients with ED often fulfill criteria for BPD, even if it is now well-known that ED can also be encountered in many other psychiatric disorders than BPD, and is currently considered as a transdiagnostic construct (8)(9)(10). In the field of personality pathology, patients suffering from pathological narcissism (PN) (with/without narcissistic personality disorder, NPD), obsessive-compulsive personality disorder (OCPD) and antisocial personality disorder (ASPD) may also present several of the above mentioned symptoms of ED (11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18). Apart from the field of personality disorders, ED can also be found in patients suffering from bipolar disorder [BD, (19,20)], autism spectrum disorder [ASD, (21,22)], complex post-traumatic stress disorder [cPTSD, (23)] and adult attention deficit hyperactivity disorder [ADHD, (24,25)].…”

Emotion dysregulation (ED) has primarily been described in patients suffering from borderline personality disorder (BPD) and is an integral part of this diagnosis, but it is also a transdiagnostic construct that can be found in several other psychiatric disorders. The strong relationships between ED and BPD may lead clinicians to underestimate ED associated to other clinical contexts. This can lead to difficulties in diagnostic and treatment orientation, especially in the context of comorbidities. In this article, after reviewing the literature on the development and functioning of emotion dysregulation, and on the evidence for emotion dysregulation in eight disorders (borderline personality disorder, pathological narcissism with/without narcissistic personality disorder, obsessive-compulsive personality disorder, antisocial personality disorder, bipolar disorder, autism spectrum disorder, complex post-traumatic stress disorder, and adult attention deficit hyperactivity disorder), we present a transdiagnostic processual model of emotion dysregulation based on core triggers and interpersonal styles to try to address this issue and to provide a simple but technical tool to help clinicians in their diagnostic assessment and treatment orientation. By focusing more on typical patterns and interpersonal dynamics than only on categories, we believe that this model may contribute to the actual need for improvement of our current psychiatric classifications, alongside other well-studied and under-used dimensional models of psychopathology (e.g., HiTOP, AMPD), and may be useful to build more specific treatment frameworks for patients suffering from ED.

ZusammenfassungRichard Semon (1859–1918) war Schüler von Ernst Haeckel und beschäftigte sich als Zoologe zunächst mit der Entwicklung von Seegurken, Seesternen, Hühnern und Lungenfischen, die er unter anderem am Mittelmeer und in Australien sammelte. Nach Deutschland zurückgekehrt musst er aus privaten Gründen Jena und sein universitäres Umfeld verlassen, liess sich in München nieder, wo er sich den philosophischen Aspekten der Biologie widmete, Werke über sein Gedächtniskonzept der „Mneme“ verfasste (1904) und über die Vererbung erworbener Eigenschaften nachdachte (1912). Seine Vorstellungen von Gedächtnis gingen weit über Gehirn und Individuum hinaus. Enttäuscht über eine zu geringe wissenschaftliche Anerkennung, verzweifelt nach dem Tod seiner Frau, verunsichert durch die politische Situation am Ende des ersten Weltkriegs und vor allem von einem befürchteten Gedächtnisverlust des Gedächtnisforschers, nahm er sich das Leben. Sein wichtigster Gewährsmann, der Wiener Experimentalbiologe Paul Kammerer (1880–1926), erschoss sich acht Jahre später als Zweifel an der Vererbung erworbener Eigenschaften seiner Salamander und Geburtshelferkröten auftauchten. Neuropsychiatrisch relevante Fragen nach Epigenetik, der Natur des Gedächtnisses, nach Depression und der Furcht dem Nachlassen seiner geistigen Leistungsfähigkeit, den Auswirkungen privater Umstände auf wissenschaftliche Karrieren, nach wissenschaftlichen Irrtümern und fraglichen Fälschungen, bis zum Suizid eines Wissenschaftlers finden sich verdichtet im Leben und Tod Richard Semons.
