Application of the identity disorder questionnaire AIDA+LoPF in adolescents with affective pathology and schizotypal disorder

Abstract

Introduction

To assess the difference in the personality functioning of adolescents with schizotypal disorder and affective disorders, we used the AIDA + LoPF questionnaires, which are well established as questionnaires for identifying identity disorders in adolescents. We hypothesized that adolescents with affective pathology are much more likely to have identity disorders than adolescents with schizotypal personality disorder. Clinical assessment of diseases was carried out by psychiatrists using ICD-10

Objectives

Adolescents with affective disorders -10 (F31), schizotypal disorder adolescents – 11 (F21). Age 12-18

Methods

AIDA+LoPF questioners by authors K. Goth & K. Schmeck, Russian version by M. Zvereva & S. Voronova & N. Zvereva

Significant scales of the LoPF questionnaire

SCALES LOPF	U-CRITERIA	P

Coherence (Ego-strength)	88,000	0,02
SELF-DIRECTION	89,000	0,01

Conclusions

We have obtained preliminary results that show a difference between the identity disturbance of adolescents with affective pathology and those with schizotypal disorder. Adolescents with affective pathology are much more likely to have various types of identity disorders than adolescents with schizotypal disorder. To clarify this, a larger sample and a wider range of disorders are required
