Objective To study the association of dissociative symptoms and
specific psychopathological dimensions in a sample of patients
with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD).
Methods An observational analytic study was conducted.
Patients with BPD were administered the Diagnostic Interview for
Borderline (DIB-R) and Dissociative Experience Scale (DES–II).
Results Participants were 34 adult patients with BPD. The
majority presented with dissociative symptoms (65.6%; n = 21).
A statistical significant correlation was found between DES total
score and DIB-R subscales: depression ( P = 0.04), feeling of lone-
liness and emptiness (P = 0.005), sexual deviation (P = 0.002) and
intolerance to loneliness (P = 0.01). Furthermore, depersonaliza-
tion was statistically correlated with the severity of borderline
psychopathology (DIB-R total score- P = 0.04), suicidal behavior
(P = 0.001) and interpersonal problems (P = 0.04). Derealizationwas
significantly correlated with cognition (P = 0.02), psychotic thought
(P = 0.004) and intolerance to loneliness ( P = 0.02).
Conclusions Dissociative symptoms are not easy to detect in the
clinical daily work. More than a half of patients with BPD presented
with dissociative symptoms detected with a specific rating scale.
Particularly, only some specific psychopathological dimensions are
correlated with dissociation and need to be assessed in patients
with BPD.

Introduction Patients with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Dis-
order (ADHD) have shown a high risk to develop a DSM cluster
B (i.e., Borderline, OR = 13.16; Antisocial, OR = 3.03; Narcissistic,
OR = 8.69) and DSMAvoidant personality disorder (OR = 9.77). Sim-
ilarly, higher rates of DSM cluster B personality disorder were
found among adult ADHDpatients (6-25%) than general population.
Although some authors investigated the prevalence of personal-
ity traits and disorders among adult ADHD patients, no studies
have been yet reported about the assessment of Millon’s Evolution-
Based Personality profiles in adult ADHD patients.
Aims To explore the prevalence of personality traits and disor-
ders among adult ADHD patients.
Methods Millon’s personality traits and disorders were assessed
in a consecutive sample of 35 adult ADHD outpatients accessing the
Service for Adult ADHD of the AOU San Luigi Gonzaga (Orbassano,
TO) using the Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory–III (MCMI-III).
Results According to the MCMI-III manual, ADHD patients in
our sample showed more frequently both Cluster C and Cluster A
traits and disorders, with a high prevalence of avoidant/depressive
(8.6%/14.3%) and negativistic/self-defeating (20%/5.7%) personality
disorders. Conversely, we found a low prevalence of Narcissistic
(5.7%) andHistrionic (5.7%) traits, andnopatient showedBorderline
personality traits or disorder.
Conclusions Unexpectedly, the dimensional assessment of adult
ADHD personality reveals a high prevalence of cluster C and cluster
A personality traits and disorders, and a low prevalence of cluster
B personality disorders.

Introduction Personality plays a crucial role in a person’s behav-
ior, emotions and cognitive patterns and shows an important
relationship with several variables such as marital status, men-
tal disorders or parenting models. However, little is known
about the relation between the parental Big Five personality
traits (Neuroticism, Extraversion, Openness, Conscientiousness and
Agreeableness) and children psychopathology regardless of the
diagnostic of their offspring.
Objectives To analyze the correlation between parents’ Big Five
personality traits and their children categorical diagnosis and psy-
chopathology score.
Methods The authors recruited 105 children in the outpatient
unit of the child and adolescent psychiatry department of the
pediatric hospital of Coimbra and their 117 parents. Parents were
assessed using the Portuguese version of Neo Five-Factor Inven-
tory and children psychopathology scores were rated by child and
adolescent psychiatrists using the Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale for
Children.
Results Forty-nine children (46.7%) were male and 56 (53.3%)
were female, with a mean age of 12.5 ±3.2 and 13.6 ± 2.9, respec-
tively. Twenty parents (17.1%) were male and 97 (82.9%) were
female, with a mean age of 45.8 ± 4.1 and 41.2 ±5.4, respectively.
After excluding children diagnosed with Schizophrenia, bipolar
disorder, autism spectrum disorders and intellectual developmen-
tal disorder, Pearson’s correlation coefficients were significant
between: parents’ neuroticism and children Uncooperativeness
(0.211),Manipulativeness (0.238), Hallucinations (0.257), Sleepdif-
ficulties (0.296) and Disorientation (0.204); parents’ agreeableness
and children hostility ( −0.228); and parent’s conscientiousness and
children disorientation (−0.231), all P < 0.05.
Conclusions These preliminary results suggest that parental per-
sonality traits may influence psychopathological outcomes in their
children. Data are still being collected to clarify the nature of this
relationship.
