Separation Anxiety and Personality Domains in a Dimensional Perspective: A Cross-Sectional Study in a Sample of Adults with Personality Disorders
Our study is the first to highlight the potentially crucial role of adult separation anxiety levels in personality disorders. Unexpectedly, childhood separation anxiety did not predict personality domains. The presence of separation anxiety should be considered a potential developmental obstacle to a healthy transition toward a well-rounded adult personality organization.
