“…The Gerontological Personality disorder Scale (GPS 21 ) was used to screen the presence or absence of personality pathology, based on general definitions in the DSM‐Personality Disorders 22 . The GPS consists of both a patient and informant version 23 . Our study used the informant GPS which is divided into two subscales: the HAB scale focuses on habitual behaviour that is assumed to be the expression of a number of personal pathology features and the Biographical information scale, where important recurrent events or decisions in life are measured.…”

Background Although research demonstrated a significant link between premorbid normative personality traits and the severity of behavioural and psychological symptoms in dementia (BPSD) and associated emotional distress of the caregiver, little is known about the relationship of BPSD symptoms and associated distress with maladaptive traits. Method Informants (N = 182) of Dutch nursing home residents with dementia aged 65+, completed the Neuropsychiatric Inventory Questionnaire to assess the severity of BPSD and associated emotional distress. Premorbid maladaptive personality traits were evaluated using informant versions of a brief version of the Personality Inventory for Diagnostic and Statistical manual of Mental Disorders‐5 (PID‐5‐BF), and two age‐specific personality measures, the Informant Personality Questionnaire (HAP), and Gerontological Personality disorder Scale. Relationships between premorbid personality and BPSD were investigated with correlational and ordinal regression analyses. Results BPSD severity and distress were associated with medium sized correlations to Negative Affectivity, Antagonism and indications of personality disorder presence. The emotional distress also correlated with a medium effect with Detachment. Higher scores on maladaptive personality traits increased the odds of higher BPSD severity and distress. Conclusion Results found with age‐specific personality measures were in line with results found with other measures of (mal)adaptive traits. Several maladaptive personality traits had a significant relationship with the BPSD severity and associated emotional distress. We therefore encourage to implement personality assessment within BPSD treatment strategies. This way care becomes more person‐focused and more tailored to the specific needs of patients and caregivers.

INTRODUCTION: In contemporary Indian society, there is now restructuring and reorientation of a women’s role. The importance of studying married and single women has now become more pertinent because of the changing attitudes, increased literacy rate of women, and their involvement in politics and economic development. The present study aimed to understand whether the status of being “married” or “single” influences a woman’s personality.METHODS: The sample consisted of 52 women from New Delhi, India. The NEO-FFI-3 (McCrae & Costa, 2010) was used to measure the five domains of personality: neuroticism (N); extraversion (E); openness to experience (O); agreeableness (A); and conscientiousness (C).FINDINGS: The analysis showed no significant differences in personality between single and married women.CONCLUSION: It was concluded that the status of being married or single was, alone, not enough to differentiate their personalities. However, married women have varying moods and the capability for communicating and interacting with others more effortlessly in comparison to single women. This paves way for the demystification of the notion of marriage and provides avenues for deconstructing the position of marriage as a norm. Social workers should be aware of gender inequalities and bias, including about status of married and single women.

The double ageing evolution in Europe is a tremendous challenge for health care. Older adults with a personality disorder place an additional burden: they have more somatic and psychiatric co-morbidity than those without a personality disorder. Moreover, they experience less quality of life than individuals without personality disorders. This is in sharp contrast to the dearth of empirical research concerning the construct of personality disorders in later life, the very limited amount of available diagnostic tools, criteria of classification systems like DSM not being attuned to the elderly context and the lack of age-neutrality of popular instruments to measure personality disorders. Therefore, in the Netherlands and Belgium a start was made to develop and validate age-specific instruments and to examine the applicability of the alternative dimensional-hybrid DSM-5 classification of personality disorders in older adults. These recent developments and how to apply them for a personalized assessment in older adults will be discussed. Finally, we advise a phased test-based diagnostic approach in which the above-mentioned instruments, combined with measures of adaptive features or more specific tests, can contribute to an assessment optimizing the balance between restricting the load for the older patient and still being sufficiently comprehensive to result in a personalized approach of the diagnostic process.
