Are personality disorders (PDs) associated with emotional neglect? Draijer (2003) developed a dimensional model of trauma-related disorders and PD. The first dimension consists of the severity of the trauma endured. The second dimension consists of emotional neglect, which is assumed to be related primarily to personality pathology. In this article, we investigate whether an association between retrospective reports of emotional neglect and the presence and severity of PD exists. A sample of 150 patients was systematically assessed. Results indicate that there is little evidence to support a link between emotional neglect and problematic personality functioning at the disorder level; however, there might be a link between emotional neglect and problematic personality functioning in a dimensional way. Findings indicate a relationship between lack of parental warmth and problematic personality functioning, supporting the existence of the emotional neglect-axis of the proposed model in a dimensional framework of viewing personality pathology.

情绪忽视-人格障碍方法：量化与创伤有关的人格障碍的维度经诊断模型。

人格障碍（PD）是否与情绪疏忽相关？Draijer（2003）建立了创伤相关疾病和PD的尺寸模型。第一维包括所承受的创伤的严重程度。第二个维度包括情感上的疏忽，这被认为主要与人格病理有关。在本文中，我们调查了情绪忽视的回顾性报告与PD的存在和严重性之间是否存在关联。系统评估了150名患者的样本。结果表明，很少有证据支持情绪疏忽与有问题的人格功能在疾病水平上的联系。然而，情感上的疏忽与有问题的人格在维度上起作用之间可能存在联系。
