Abstract

Objective: Avoidant personality disorder (APD) is highly comorbid with social phobia (SP), particularly the specific subtype of SP, generalized SP (GSP). Patients with SP and APD have greater social impairment and depressive comorbidity; thus, we investigated the extent of the effect of APD on the psychopathology of GSP.Method: Twenty-four patients diagnosed with SP according to DSM-IV criteria, were asked to complete the Structural Clinical Interview for Diagnosis of Axis II disorders (SCID-II). Responses to the questions were analyzed for APD comorbidity. The study sample was then divided into two groups as follows: GSP patients with APD and GSP patients without APD. The patient groups were compared, using various self-report measures regarding demographic characteristics. GSP patients with APD reported significantly higher levels of depression than GSP patients without APD.Results: GSP patients with APD also reported significantly greater social fear and avoidance than the patients with GSP alone. No significant differences were found between two groups regarding hopelessness, alexityhmia, anxiety, and functional impairment.Conclusions: When occurring with GSP, APD increased the degree of psychopathology; however, this did not result in greater functional impairment.

Özet

Amaç: Kaçıngan Kişilik Bozukluğu (KKB), sosyal fobinin (SF) özel bir alttipi olan genelleşmiş sosyal fobi (GSF) ile yüksek ölçüde birlikte görülür. KKB ve GSFsi olan hastalar daha yüksek oranda sosyal bozukluk ve depresyonla birliktelik sergilerler. Bu nedenle GSF psikopatolojisinde KKBnun etkilerini araştırdık.Yöntem: DSM IV kriterlerine göre SF tanısı konan 24 hastaya, Eksen II bozuklukları tanısı için Yapılandırılmış Klinik Görüşmesi Türkçe Versiyonu (SCID II) uygulandı. Sorulara verilen yanıtlar, KKB birlikteliği açısından analiz edildi. Çalışma örneklem grubu, KKB olan ve olmayan GSFli hastalar olarak iki ayrı gruba bölündü. Her iki grup, demografik özellikleri belirleyen kendilik-bildirimli ölçekler kullanılarak karşılaştırıldı.Bulgular: KKB birlikteliği olan GSF hastaları, KKB birlikteliği olmayan GSF hastalarından anlamlı olarak daha yüksek oranda depresyon bildirdiler. KKB birlikteliği olan GSF hastaları yalnızca GSFsi olan hastalara oranla anlamlı oranda daha yüksek sosyal korku ve kaçınma davranışı bildirdiler. Umutsuzluk, aleksitimi, anksiyete ve işlevsel bozukluk açısından iki grup arasında anlamlı bir fark bulunmadı.Sonuçlar: KKB, GSF ile birlikte olduğu zaman psikopatolojinin derecesini arttırmasına karşın yine de bu durum daha fazla işlevsel bozuklukla sonuçlanmıyordu.
