Interpersonal dysfunction contributes to significant disability in the schizophrenia spectrum. Schizotypal Personality Disorder (SPD) is a schizophrenia-related personality demonstrating social cognitive impairment in the absence of frank psychosis. Past research indicates that cognitive dysfunction or schizotypy may account for social cognitive dysfunction in this population. We tested SPD subjects and healthy controls on the Empathic Accuracy (EA) paradigm and the Reading of the Mind in the Eyes Test (RMET), assessing the impact of EA on social support. We also explored whether EA differences could be explained by intelligence, working memory, trait empathy, or attachment avoidance. SPD subjects did not differ from controls in RMET, but demonstrated lower EA during negative valence videos, associated with lower social support. Dynamic, multimodal EA paradigms may be more effective at capturing interpersonal dysfunction than static image tasks such as RMET. Schizotypal severity, trait empathy, and cognitive dysfunction did not account for empathic dysfunction in SPD, although attachment avoidance is related to empathic differences. Empathic dysfunction for negative affect contributes to decreased social support in the schizophrenia spectrum. Future research may shed further light on potential links between attachment avoidance, empathic dysfunction, and social support. 相似文献

Despite advances in the management of patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder, some remain refractory to treatment. The authors retrospectively examined characteristics of 43 treatment-resistant obsessive-compulsive patients and found that those with concomitant schizotypal personality disorder had an extremely high rate of treatment failure. Of the 29 treated nonschizotypal patients, 26 (90%) improved at least moderately; only one of 14 (7%) schizotypal patients improved. In addition, the number of schizotypal features in each patient was strongly negatively correlated with treatment outcome. 相似文献

The establishment of the new diagnostic category, Schizotypal Personality Disorder (SPD), has stimulated biological studies of patients with this disorder. Such studies offer the potential of better understanding the diagnosis and treatment of SPD as well as more clearly defining the boundaries of the schizophrenic disorders. SPD has been studied in the clinical setting, in family studies of schizophrenia, and in the biological high-risk paradigm. In most cases, biological variables associated with schizophrenia have been evaluated. Decreased activities of plasma amine oxidase and platelet monoamine oxidase have been associated with SPD in the families of schizophrenics and in "biological high-risk" studies. Smooth pursuit eye movement (SPEM) impairment has also been associated with SPD in a "biological high-risk" study of college students. Inferior backward masking performance has been demonstrated in SPD patients in the clinical setting. Other studies using psychophysiological measures have been applied to subjects with psychological characteristics similar to DSM-III SPD and found biological abnormalities similar to those reported in schizophrenia. These studies are consistent with the possibility that some individuals with SPD may share common psychobiological abnormalities with schizophrenic individuals and may sharpen our understanding of SPD and its relationship to schizophrenia. 相似文献

The authors examined the symptoms of 35 patients with schizotypal personality disorder. In contrast to the suggestion, based on studies of nonclinical, familial samples, that patients with schizotypal disorder are best characterized by the negative symptoms of social isolation and impaired functioning, they found that the positive symptoms of odd communication, ideas of reference, magical thinking, and illusions were equally valid discriminators of their clinically based group of patients. The findings argue against the idea that schizotypal personality disorder be redefined in the revision of DSM-III (DSM-III-R) to emphasize negative symptoms and suggest that clinical samples of schizotypal patients may differ from familial samples. 相似文献

Schizotypal personality disorder is the prototype of the schizophrenia-related personality disorders and has been demonstrated
to have phenomenologic, biologic, treatment, and outcome characteristics similar to those of schizophrenic patients. These
studies suggest that patients with schizotypal personality disorder, like schizophrenic patients, show cognitive impairment,
but the impairment is more focal and involves primarily working memory, verbal learning, and sustained attention rather than
generalized intellectual deficits. Schizotypal patients, like schizophrenic patients show reductions in temporal lobe volume,
but seem to be spared the frontal volume reductions found in some studies of schizophrenic patients and in our laboratory.
Better frontal “buffering” may prevent the more severe cognitive and social deterioration associated with schizophrenia. Furthermore,
schizotypal patients appear to show less susceptibility to psychotic symptoms, in part perhaps because of better buffered
subcortical dopaminergic activity as suggested by recent data from a SPECT/amphetamine paradigm, glucose metabolic study,
and structural studies of basal ganglia. These findings are discussed in terms of a model of schizotypal personality disorder
where schizotypal patients have better capacity for compensatory buffering in lateral and subcortical brain regions, protecting
them from the more severe symptoms of chronic schizophrenia. 相似文献

Schizotypal patients were found to have a significantly higher mean plasma HVA concentration than normal comparison subjects. Furthermore, plasma HVA concentration positively correlated with "psychotic-like" schizotypal symptoms. These results implicate dopaminergic mechanisms modulating the psychotic-like symptoms of schizotypal personality disorder. 相似文献

Studies of the five-factor model of personality in schizotypal personality disorder (SPD) have produced inconsistent results, particularly with respect to openness. In the present study, the NEO-FFI was used to measure five-factor personality dimensions in 28 community volunteers with SPD and 24 psychiatrically healthy individuals. Standard multivariate statistical analyses were used to evaluate personality differences as a function of diagnosis and gender. Individuals with SPD had significantly higher levels of neuroticism and significantly lower levels of extraversion, agreeableness and conscientiousness than those without SPD. Female, but not male, SPD subjects had significantly higher openness levels than their healthy counterparts, and this gender-specific group difference persisted when SPD symptom severity was statistically controlled. These findings suggest that gender-associated differences in openness may account for prior inconsistent findings regarding this dimension, and they further underscore the importance of examining gender effects in future studies of SPD. 相似文献

It has recently been proposed that reduced stimulation of prefrontal cortex DI receptors secondary to hypoactivity of mesocortical
dopamine (DA) projections may explain the cognitive impairments experienced by patients with schizophrenia and the schizophrenia
spectrum. Findings from studies done during the past two decades suggest that schizotypal personality disorder (SPD), the
prototypic disorder of the schizophrenia spectrum, is associated with cognitive deficits and social deterioration that are
qualitatively similar, although less severe, to those observed in schizophrenia. It generally is acknowledged that the psychotic
symptoms of schizophrenia are associated with hyperactivity of mesolimbic DA projections resulting in excessive stimulation
of striatal D2 receptors. In contrast with schizophrenia, dopaminergic interventions improved cognitive function in SPD without
worsening psychotic-like symptoms, raising the possibility that patients with SPD are protected against increases in subcortical
dopaminergic activity associated with psychosis. However, mounting evidence suggests that alterations in other neurotransmitter
systems (eg, glutamate, γ-aminobutyric acid, opioid, serotonergic) may be involved in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia.
This over view focuses on common DA-related neurobiological vulnerabilities shared by schizophrenia and the schizophrenia
spectrum, in addition to factors that protect SPD from the overt psychotic symptoms and more severe social and cognitive deficits
experienced by patients with chronic schizophrenia. 相似文献

Past research has revealed that schizophrenia is associated with voluntary movement abnormalities, as well as higher rates of involuntary movements. On instrumental motor tasks, patients manifest reduced motor stability, excessive force and more contralateral motor overflow (movement in the non-responding hand). In the present study, an instrumental motor task (manual response forced-choice task) was administered to a group of adults with schizotypal personality disorder (SPD) in order to determine whether they show motor deficits similar to those observed in schizophrenia. As predicted, the schizotypal subjects were excessive and more variable in motor force, compared to healthy controls and other personality-disordered subjects. Additionally, the force and variability of the motor responses were positively correlated with ratings of both positive and negative SPD symptoms. Finally, motor overflow and negative symptoms were associated with higher salivary cortisol levels. The pattern of findings is consistent with previous reports linking motor abnormalities and heightened cortisol with schizotypal personality disorder. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: Schizophrenia spectrum subjects have cognitive deficits in a variety of domains. Schizotypal personality disordered (SPD) subjects do not have many of the confounds seen in schizophrenic patients, but may have the same pattern of cognitive deficits in attention and executive functioning. HYPOTHESIS: We hypothesized that SPD subjects would have impairments on measures of attention, abstract reasoning, cognitive inhibition, working memory and verbal recognition memory when compared to normal subjects, and that these deficits would be intermediate to those observed in schizophrenic patients. METHOD: SPD subjects (N=20) were compared to age-, gender- and education-matched schizophrenic patients (N=20) and normal comparison subjects (N=20) on a battery of cognitive measures. RESULTS: The data were analyzed using standard statistical methods, including effect sizes. Using a conservative alpha level of 0.01, schizophrenic patients had deficits on many of these measures compared to normal subjects. Although the SPD subjects did not significantly differ from normal comparison subjects at the p < 0.01 level, there were trends (p < 0.019-0.028) toward impairment on measures of working memory and general intellectual functioning. On further effect size analyses, SPD subjects performed intermediate to normals and schizophrenic patients on measures of attention, abstract reasoning, cognitive inhibition, verbal working memory, recognition memory, and general intellectual functioning, with moderate to large effect sizes separating groups. CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest that SPD subjects have possible widespread cognitive deficits that are of lesser magnitude than those observed in schizophrenic patients. 相似文献

Schizotypal personality disorder, a diagnosis defined partially in terms of a genetic relatedness to schizophrenia, has begun to receive extensive investigative study. While the exact etiologic relationship between schizotypal personality disorder and schizophrenia remains to be determined, three models have been considered: (1) the two may be distinct disorders, (2) they may be essentially identical disorders but expressed with different degrees of severity, or (3) they may be related disorders with a partially overlapping etiology that might account for the many similarities yet the lack of psychosis or severe deficits in schizotypal individuals. Some of the recent research in the structural and functional neuroanatomy, neurochemistry, cognitive function, and pharmacology of schizotypal personality disorder is reviewed with citation of the most recent findings from our laboratory and others. Both schizotypal and schizophrenic subjects appear to show abnormalities in temporal lobe volume, but schizotypal subjects do not appear to show the volumetric decreases in frontal cortex that schizophrenic patients evidence. Abnormalities in thalamic nuclei parallel these findings-the pulvinar, which projects to temporal association and sensory cortices, is reduced in both disorders, but the mediodorsal nucleus, which projects extensively to the frontal cortex, is reduced in schizophrenic patients but not in schizotypal patients. Functional imaging studies suggest that there may be abnormalities in frontal activation in both disorders, but that schizotypal individuals can recruit alternative regions to accomplish tasks requiring frontal lobe activation that may help compensate. Imaging studies of the subcortex including FDG/PET imaging of metabolic activity during a verbal learning task, SPECT imaging studies which measure binding of IBZM and its displacement following amphetamine administration, and plasma HVA determinations following 2-deoxyglucose administration all suggest the possibility of relatively reduced dopaminergic subcortical activity in schizotypal individuals compared to schizophrenic patients. Cognitive function is also impaired in the areas of working memory, verbal learning, and attention in schizotypal patients, as in schizophrenic patients, and they may be particularly susceptible to cognitive tasks with high context dependence, as in schizophrenia. Preliminary trials of catecholaminergic agents suggest that these agents may be able to improve these impaired cognitive functions. 相似文献

Evidence of long-standing social difficulties has been well documented in persons with schizophrenia. These deficits are often so rudimentary that a person with schizophrenia may never have developed the skills necessary to present as socially competent. Given the cognitive, biological, and neuroanatomical links between schizophrenia and schizotypal personality disorder (SPD), a study of social skills in persons with SPD may reveal a behavioral link. This study examined persons with SPD and their ability to label emotions in a recognition task, to display socially competent behaviors in a social role-play task, and to select appropriate behaviors from a multiple choice measure of social behavior. Results indicated that the performance of persons with SPD was similar to previously published findings in persons with schizophrenia. In terms of emotion recognition, the SPD group's ability to label positive emotions was significantly worse than their ability to label other emotions. Persons with SPD performed significantly worse than matched control participants on a social role-play task. However, the groups were equivalent in their ability to select socially appropriate behavior from a multiple choice measure. These results suggest that persons with SPD display social skills which mirror those previously reported in persons with schizophrenia. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: This study examined whether early or late processes in semantic networks were abnormal in women with a diagnosis of schizotypal personality disorder. The N400 component of the EEG event-related potentials was used as a probe of semantic processes. METHOD: Word pairs were presented with short and long stimulus-onset asynchronies to investigate, respectively, early and late semantic processes in 16 women with schizotypal personality disorder and 15 normal female comparison subjects. Event-related potentials were recorded in response to the last words in a pair. RESULTS: With the short stimulus-onset asynchrony, the N400 amplitude was less negative in the schizotypal personality disorder group than in the normal comparison group. No group differences were found with the long stimulus-onset asynchrony. CONCLUSIONS: The finding of a less negative than normal N400 amplitude with the short stimulus-onset asynchrony in women with schizotypal personality disorder supports the hypothesis that persons with this disorder evince an overactivation of semantic networks. The absence of group differences with the long stimulus-onset asynchrony, which is primarily sensitive to processes involved in context integration, suggests that in this group of schizotypal personality disorder subjects, additional demands on working memory may be necessary to bring out the semantic dysfunction. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: Patients affected by schizophrenia show deficits in both visual perception and working memory. The authors tested early-stage vision and working memory in subjects with schizotypal personality disorder, which has been biologically associated with schizophrenia. METHOD: Eleven subjects who met DSM-III-R criteria for schizotypal personality disorder and 12 normal comparison subjects were evaluated. Performance thresholds were obtained for tests of visual discrimination and working memory. Both form and trajectory processing were evaluated for each task. RESULTS: Subjects with schizotypal personality disorder showed intact discrimination of form and trajectory but were impaired on working memory tasks. CONCLUSIONS: These data suggest that subjects with schizotypal personality disorder, unlike patients affected by schizophrenia, have relatively intact visual perception. Subjects with schizotypal personality disorder do show specific deficits on tasks of comparable difficulty when working memory demands are imposed. Schizotypal personality disorder may be associated with a more specific visual processing deficit than schizophrenia, possibly reflecting disruption of frontal lobe systems subserving visual working memory operations. 相似文献

The frequency of DSM-III and DSM-III-R schizotypal personality disorder (SPD) symptoms and diagnosis was explored in 39 inpatients classified as borderline by the Diagnostic Interview for Borderlines (DIB) and 19 inpatient major depressive disorder (MDD) controls. Most SPD symptoms in all groups, except the nondepressed borderlines, derived from social-interpersonal items. By DSM-III, 24 borderlines (62%) but only six controls (32%) had cognitive-perceptual SPD symptoms (P = .03), whereas by DSM-III-R only 14 borderlines (36%) and seven controls (37%) had such symptoms. Of the 24 borderlines showing cognitive-perceptual symptoms, 16 also had MDD, a significant difference from the non-MDD borderlines (P = .04). This difference disappears in DSM-III-R. The results suggest that some SPD symptoms in borderlines may be related to a concurrent affective episode. 相似文献

Adolescents meeting diagnostic criteria for schizotypal personality disorder (SPD) are presumed to be at risk for developing schizophrenia in adulthood, making them an important group for exploring the developmental trajectory of the disease. Deficits in executive functioning have been documented in schizophrenia patients and adults with SPD. The present study examined executive functions in adolescents with SPD. It was predicted that the SPD group would score below comparison groups (normals and adolescents with other disorders) on measures of executive function, and that those with greater 'negative' signs of SPD would show more pronounced performance deficits. Analyses revealed that the performance of the SPD subjects was impaired relative to the other groups on the modified Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (MCST), but not on the Tower of London or the Controlled Oral Word Association Test. Consistent with prediction, regression analyses indicated that MCST deficits were associated with greater negative signs of SPD, but not positive signs. 相似文献

This study examined the similarities and differences in the communication deficits of 13 schizotypal and 12 schizophrenic children matched by age and IQ. Like schizophrenic children, schizotypal children underutilize some discourse devices necessary for coherent speech and overutilize others. Schizotypal children, however, appear to display a more restricted range of discourse deficits than schizophrenic children. In addition, their discourse deficits do not appear to be associated with clinical measures of loose associations. The clinical implications and the potential use of discourse measures to differentiate schizophrenic and schizotypal children are discussed. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Cognitive processing deficits have been identified as an abnormality that schizotypal personality disorder (SPD) individuals share with schizophrenic patients. It has been hypothesized that impaired working memory may be a critical component of several of the more complex cognitive deficits found in schizophrenia spectrum patients. METHOD: 18 DSM-III-R SPD patients, and 17 normal comparison subjects were compared on a pen and paper visuospatial working memory task. Moreover, we identified a second psychiatric comparison group comprised of nine patients with other, non-odd cluster personality disorder diagnoses who met no more than one of the SPD criteria and were also tested on the same task. Each person was given 14 immediate recall trials and 10 trials using a 10 s delay. RESULTS: SPD patients performed significantly worse than normal control subjects on the working memory task. SPD patients also performed significantly worse compared to the non-schizophrenia-related personality disorder psychiatric comparison group. CONCLUSIONS: Like schizophrenic patients, SPD patients demonstrate working memory impairment compared to normal controls. This impairment may be specific to the schizophrenia-related personality disorders. 相似文献
