AB  - BACKGROUND: In his psychodynamic theory of personality development, Blatt 
      distinguishes between an anaclitic and an introjective cluster of psychological 
      disorders. Whereas, in the past, research in this area has focused mainly on 
      depression, nowadays more and more attention is being given to the relevance of 
      this distinction for the theoretical conceptualisation and treatment of 
      personality disorders (PD). AIM: To examine the association between dsm-iv pd 
      characteristics and the anaclitic and introjective personality dimensions. 
      METHOD: We conducted a cross-sectional study (n = 48) embedded in a five-year 
      follow-up study after psychodynamic treatment for PD. We used multiple 
      linear-regression analysis to investigate the relationship between pd 
      characteristics (scid-ii Personality Questionnaire) and the anaclitic and 
      introjective personality dimensions (Depressive Experiences Questionnaire), while 
      controlling for the severity of the depression (Beck Depression Inventory) and 
      for the introjective and anaclitic dimension, respectively. RESULTS: There was 
      evidence for a positive relationship between the anaclitic dimension and 
      dependent and borderline pd characteristics on the one hand and between the 
      introjective dimension and avoidant, obsessive-compulsive, passive-aggressive, 
      depressive, paranoid, schizotypal and narcissistic PD characteristics on the 
      other hand. CONCLUSION: Results are consistent with and provide important 
      empirical support for Blatt's assumptions concerning an anaclitic and an 
      introjective cluster of personality pathology.
