abstract="OBJECTIVE: This article starts with the finding that some patients with an Axis I disorder who appear personality disordered when acutely ill may represent a distinct clinical subgroup. It examines the clinical correlates of this &quot;stress induced&quot; personality disorder group. <br><br>METHODS: A group of male psychiatric outpatients (N = 165) was divided into three groups: The group with life-long personality disorders, &quot;trait personality disorder [trait PD])&quot; group (n = 24); the group with personality symptoms under the stress of an Axis I disorder, &quot;stress-induced PD&quot; or &quot;state PD&quot; group (n = 63); and a group that had no personality disorders, &quot;no-PD&quot; group (n = 78). These three groups were compared on personality variables by direct comparison and logistic regression. <br><br>RESULTS: Logistic regression showed a reasonable differentiation between the trait and state group. The variables of &quot;reacts criticism,&quot; &quot;suicide&quot; and &quot;needs approval&quot; predicted the trait group while the variable &quot;ashamed&quot; predicted the state group. Logistic regression also showed reasonable differentiation between the state and no-PD groups. &quot;Restricted expression of affect&quot; predicted the no-PD group, while the variables of &quot;acts childishly,&quot; &quot;suicide&quot;, &quot;sensitive to criticism,&quot; &quot;acts emotionally,&quot; &quot;feelings change,&quot; and &quot;fearful&quot; predicted the state group. The evidence seems to indicate the previously identified state group can be differentiated from its theoretical near neighbors using clinical criteria.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
