Abstract

The authors investigated the relationship between Cloninger's personality dimensions and DSM-III-R personality traits by comparison of scores on the Tridimensional Personality Questionnaire with axis II traits found in structured interviews with 99 patients. Consistent with theoretical predictions, axis II pathology was significantly related to personality dimensions after the effects of axis I disorders were controlled for.
