Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between childhood trauma and adulthood pathological personality in depressive patients. In particular, this study was an examination of how the subtypes of childhood trauma (abuse and neglect) affect pathological personality. Childhood abuse and neglect were evaluated using the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ), and pathological personality was evaluated using the PSY-5 dimensional scale. A total of 269 depressive patients completed the questionnaires. Childhood abuse was significantly correlated with all five pathological personality traits, while childhood neglect was significantly correlated with psychoticism, disconstraint, negative emotionality/neuroticism, and introversion/low positive emotion. After controlling for demographic variables (gender and age) and depressive symptoms, the results of a hierarchical multiple regression analysis showed that both childhood abuse and childhood neglect significantly predicted a pathological personality in adulthood. In detail, childhood abuse affected psychoticism, whereas childhood neglect affected introversion/low positive emotion. The clinical implications and limitations of our findings were also discussed.
