Personality Psychopathology Research

Personality psychopathology research studies how personality traits and patterns can become maladaptive, leading to mental health issues such as personality disorders. It explores how individual differences in traits like impulsivity, emotional regulation, and interpersonal behavior contribute to psychological difficulties. The research aims to better understand the causes, development, and maintenance of these disorders, ultimately informing diagnosis, treatment, and prevention strategies. It combines insights from psychology, psychiatry, and neuroscience to improve mental health outcomes for individuals with complex personality-related challenges.
