    Area of Science:

    • Psychiatry
    • Psychology
    • Mental Health

    Background:

    • Paranoid personality disorder (PPD) is classified under DSM-IV's

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the psychometric properties of Paranoid Personality Disorder (PPD).
    • To evaluate the existing evidence for PPD's reliability and validity.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review of psychometric properties of PPD.
    • Analysis of data from personality disorder study groups.

    Main Results:

    • There is limited published evidence supporting the reliability and validity of PPD.
    • Researchers have shown minimal interest in studying PPD, potentially due to recruitment challenges or better explanations within other disorders.

    Conclusions:

    • The empirical evidence for PPD as an independent diagnosis is scarce.
    • It is suggested to remove PPD from future DSM editions.
    • Trait-paranoia should be coded using a dimensional approach.
