Project description
 

Relying on an age-specific dimensional model of maladaptive traits, the current research starts from a developmental perspecitve on personality disorders and focuses on the development of personality pathology across time and the relation with the fenotypic structure of childhood DSM-IV disorders. Finally, the validity of the model is explored in its relation with existing models of personality and personality pathology.
