“…There is substantial evidence of comorbidity between the eating disorders and the personality disorders, with high levels of borderline personality disorder diagnosed among eating disorder patients who binge and purge, obsessive-compulsive and avoidant personality disorders among more restrictive patients, and avoidant personality disorder among patients with binge eating disorder (e.g., Raymond et al, 2005;Sansone et al, 2006). However, the personality disorders commonly co-occur (Dolan et al, 1995).…”

“…For example, using the Personality Beliefs Questionnaire (PBQ - Beck & Beck, 1991), Connan et al (2009) demonstrated that eating pathology is more strongly associated with the cognitive element of avoidant and obsessive-compulsive personality disorder pathology than with borderline personality disorder. They hypothesized that the apparent link with borderline personality pathology in other research (e.g., Sansone et al, 2006) might be due to anxiety cognitions underlying the borderline personality disorder features in many cases. This finding supports an alternative approach to understanding the eating disorder-personality link, which is to focus at the level of personality pathology as it naturally clusters, rather than in terms of diagnostic categories.…”

Eating-disordered patients have relatively high rates of comorbid personality disorder diagnoses, including both anxiety-based personality disorders (obsessive-compulsive and avoidant) and borderline personality disorder. However, there is preliminary evidence that the core cognitions underlying personality pathology in the eating disorders are those related specifically to anxiety. This paper builds on that evidence, replicating and extending the findings with a large sample of eating-disordered patients (N = 374). There were no differences in personality disorder cognitions between eating disorder diagnoses. The study also examines the possibility that there are clusters of patients, differentiated by patterns of personality disorder cognition. Affect-related personality disorder cognitions were key to understanding the role of personality pathology in the eating disorders. It is suggested that those cognitions should be considered when planning psychological treatments.

“…A meta-analysis (Sansone et al 2005) of four ED groups-AN-restricting (AN-R), AN-bingeing (AN-B), BN, and binge eating disorder (BED)-revealed interesting comorbidity patterns with PDs in all three clusters. Avoidant PD was comorbid with all types of ED, whereas BN showed the strongest comorbidity across the PD domain.…”

This chapter reviews recent (2000)(2001)(2002)(2003)(2004)(2005) personality disorder (PD) research, focusing on three major domains: assessment, comorbidity, and stability. (a) Substantial evidence has accrued favoring dimensional over categorical conceptualization of PD, and the five-factor model of personality is prominent as an integrating framework. Future directions include assessing dysfunction separately from traits and learning to utilize collateral information. (b) To address the pervasiveness and extent of comorbidity, researchers have begun to move beyond studying overlapping pairs or small sets of disorders and are developing broader, more integrated common-factor models that cross the Axis I-Axis II boundary. (c) Studies of PD stability have converged on the finding that PD features include both more acute, dysfunctional behaviors that resolve in relatively short periods, and maladaptive temperamental traits that are relatively more stable-similar to normal-range personality traits-with increasing stability until after 50 years of age. A new model for assessing PDand perhaps all psychopathology-emerges from integrating these interrelated reconceptualizations.

“…Rastam (1992) a révélé une forte association entre l'anorexie et le trouble de la personnalité obsessionnelle-compulsive (TPOC). Pour les deux types d'anorexie mentale, les TP les plus fréquents sont ceux du groupe C. Sansone et al (2005) ont ajouté que le TP limite était plus associé aux TA avec symptômes boulimiques (ANBP et BN) qu'à l'ANR. Thornton et Russell (1997) ont démontré que 35 % des patientes anorexiques présentaient un TPOC prémorbide.…”
