  • Title: Scaled ratings of DSM-III personality disorders.
    Author: Kass F, Skodol AE, Charles E, Spitzer RL, Williams JB.
    Journal: Am J Psychiatry; 1985 May; 142(5):627-30. PubMed ID: 3985201.
    Abstract:
    The authors describe the use of a 4-point rating scale for DSM-III axis II categories in a hospital-based outpatient clinic. Fifty-one percent of the sample met the criteria for one or more DSM-III personality disorders. This increased to 88% when the sample also included patients rated as having "some traits" or "almost meets DSM-III criteria." Frequency distributions were obtained for each of the 11 personality disorders, and a factor analysis was derived that was similar to the groupings described in DSM-III.
