Sex distribution of DSM-III personality disorders in psychiatric outpatients

Sex distribution of DSM-III personality disorders in psychiatric outpatients

J Reich. Am J Psychiatry. 1987 Apr.

Abstract

The author determined the sex distribution of 170 outpatients with a DSM-III diagnosis of personality disorder measured by standardized instruments and compared his findings with DSM-III predictions. They confirmed the prediction of more women diagnosed as having histrionic personality disorder and more men diagnosed as having paranoid, compulsive, and antisocial personality disorders. The predicted excess of women diagnosed as having borderline and dependent personality disorders was not confirmed.
