The Iowa Personality Disorder Screen: development and preliminary validation of a brief screening interview.

The Iowa Personality Disorder Screen (IPDS) is described--a mini-structured interview which can be completed in less than 5 minutes and shows promise as a quick personality disorder screen for use in research settings or standard clinical interviews. Expand
Reliability and validity of the Borderline Evaluation of Severity Over Time (BEST): a self-rated scale to measure severity and change in persons with borderline personality disorder.
TLDR
The Borderline Evaluation of Severity Over Time (BEST) was developed to rate the thoughts, emotions, and behaviors typical of BPD and concludes that the new scale is both reliable and valid in measuring severity and change in persons with BPD. Expand
A test of the tridimensional personality theory: Association with diagnosis and platelet imipramine binding in obsessive-compulsive disorder
TLDR
Despite a theoretical link between the harm avoidance dimension and serotonin-mediated neuropathways, it is failed to find an association between this dimension and platelet imipramine binding in either OCD cases or controls. Expand
Attitudes Toward Borderline Personality Disorder: A Survey of 706 Mental Health Clinicians
TLDR
Overall, caring attitudes, empathy, and treatment optimism were all higher among care providers who had cared for a greater number of BPD patients in the past 12 months, and hold important implications for clinician education and coordination of care for patients with BPD. Expand
