Personality

These individuals display a pervasive pattern of social and interpersonal deficits marked by discomfort with and reduced capacity for close relationships, and are socially withdrawn and anxious, similar to persons with schizoid personality. The hallmark of schizotypal personality disorder is the presence of eccentricities of behavior and cognitive or perceptual distortions in the absence of frank psychotic symptoms, beginning by early adulthood and present in a variety of contexts. The prevalence of schizotypal personality disorder ranges from 0.6 percent to 4.6 percent in community settings, and 0–1.9 percent in clinical populations. It is equally common among men and women.

L. There are a number of features in this additional information that are suggestive of schizotypal personality disorder: magical thinking, vague speech, peculiar appearance and probable excessive social anxiety. A psychotic disorder would need to be ruled out, but it appears that these difficulties are longstanding and part of the patient’s personality structure. Schizotypal personality disorder has a prevalence of about 3% in the general population and patients, as in borderline personality disorder, can have brief psychotic episodes, especially during times of stress.

False. It was suggested by Kretschmer. Furthermore, it is schizotypal personality disorder that is believed to be related to schizophrenia. In ICD-10 it has been included in the schizophrenia chapter and is now called schizotypal disorder. (10: p.167)

According to DSM-5, Schizophrenia spectrum and other psychotic disorders include schizophrenia, other psychotic disorders, and schizotypal (personality) disorder. They are defined by abnormalities in one or more of the following five domains: delusions, hallucinations, disorganized thinking (speech), grossly disorganized or abnormal motor behavior (including catatonia), and negative symptoms. Although criteria and text for schizotypal personality disorder can be found in the “Personality Disorders” chapter of DSM-5, since this disorder is considered part of the schizophrenia spectrum of disorders, and is labeled in this section of ICD-9 and ICD-10 as a schizotypal disorder, it is listed in the chapter “Schizophrenia spectrum and other psychotic disorders” and discussed in detail in the DSM-5 “Personality Disorders” chapter.

The small psychiatric sample and the fact that we did not explore the diagnostic criteria for schizotypal personality disorder are limitations in this study. On the other hand, each patient was carefully assessed face-to-face by senior psychiatrists for several hours, reflecting gold standard for diagnostic work-up. Our psychiatric group scored 80% above the non-psychiatric group, which shows that the groups are clearly separable, although scores overlap. A third limitation is our control group, composed of a convenient sample attending a course on mental health. However, by using this sample we had almost no missing data; participants agreed to fill out the SPQ-B anonymously on the lecturer’s request. A fourth limitation is the fact that the SPQ-B items were extracted from the original full version of the SPQ in the patient group and the test-retest sample. Further, we could not conduct test on invariance between samples due to the small patient sample. Lastly, possible effects of social desirability influence on scores was not assessed, but as most of the participants filled out the SPQ-B anonymously, this should not affect the results.

Schizotypal Personality Questionnaire-Brief (SPQ-B; Raine & Benishay, 1995): It measures the DSM-defined schizotypal personality disorder. This measure was translated into Serbian specifically for the present study given that a local version was not available following the back-translation procedure. The questionnaire consists of 22 items, with three subscales – cognitive-perceptual deficits (e.g., Are you sometimes sure that other people can tell what you are thinking?; eight items), interpersonal deficits (e.g., People sometimes find me aloof and distant; eight items), and disorganization (e.g., I am an odd, unusual person; six items). Items were rated by using a 5-point scale (from 1 = strongly disagree to 5 = strongly agree).
