Area of Science:

Psychiatry
Speech-Language Pathology

Background:

Previous reports suggest a high prevalence of personality disorders (PD) among individuals who stutter.
The accuracy of these previous findings is questioned due to the self-report measures used.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate the prevalence of personality disorders (PD) in adults seeking stuttering treatment.
To compare findings with previous research using a different self-report measure.

Main Methods:

Fifty adults undergoing stuttering treatment completed the Assessment of the DSM-IV Personality Disorders (ADP-IV) self-report measure.
The ADP-IV has demonstrated good validity in assessing personality disorders.

Main Results:

Only 10% of participants (5 out of 50) met the criteria for one or two personality disorders.
The majority (90%) of participants did not meet criteria for a personality disorder.

Conclusions:

The prevalence of PD in this sample of adults who stutter is comparable to general population rates.
Self-report measures may overestimate the occurrence of PD in individuals who stutter.
Accurate identification of personality dysfunction has implications for stuttering treatment.
