  • Clinical Psychology
  • Personality Psychology

Background:

  • Chronic authority conflicts in young men are associated with significant psychological distress.
  • Understanding the prevalence and types of personality disorders (PDs) is crucial for effective treatment.
  • The passive-aggressive personality disorder (PAPD) diagnosis remains controversial yet clinically relevant.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the prevalence of personality disorders (PDs) in young men with chronic authority conflicts.
  • To compare PD prevalence in this group with clinical and normal control groups.
  • To examine the specific types of PDs over-represented in young men with chronic authority conflicts.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized the Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory-I (MCMI-I) for assessment.

  • Compared a group of young men with chronic authority conflicts to clinical and normal control groups.
  • Analyzed the prevalence rates of various PDs within these groups.

    • Main Results:

    • Personality disorders (PDs) were diagnosed in 62% of young men with chronic authority conflicts, versus 39% in acute conflict controls and 11% in normal controls.
    • Passive-aggressive PD was significantly over-represented in the chronic authority conflict group.
    • Antisocial PD was notably under-represented in the chronic authority conflict group.

    Conclusions:

    • Young men with chronic authority conflicts exhibit a high prevalence of PDs, with a notable over-representation of passive-aggressive PD.
    • The findings support the clinical utility of the passive-aggressive PD diagnosis, despite its controversial status.
    • The high prevalence of passive-aggressive PD in this population presents challenges for psychotherapeutic outcomes.
