• Resumen

  • The association of somatic illness and personality disorders (PD) has important and potentially negative implications for patients. We compare characteristics and treatment variables of 3032 patients with and without PD in a large sample of consultation-liaison (CL) psychiatry patients.

    2434 patients had a psychiatric disorder other than a PD, 66 a PD only, and 532 a combination of both. The most frequent combination of disorders on Axis I and II was that of a Cluster-B-PD and substance related disorders. CL-patients with PD were significantly younger, living alone more often, showed better general functioning and had a shorter length of stay
