Personality pathology is conceptualized, in part, as impairments in self and interpersonal functioning. Although most of the research has focused on adult samples, fewer have looked at this relationship in adolescent samples. This paper investigates the relationship between clinician‐rated personality prototypes, the Shedler–Westen Assessment Procedure‐Prototype Matching Adolescent Version (SWAP‐A‐P) derived from the SWAP‐II‐A, and a measure of self and interpersonal functioning, the Social Cognition and Object Relation Scale‐Global Rating (SCORS‐G). Clinicians rated 66 adolescents hospitalized at a safety net teaching hospital in the northeast. The patient's individual and group therapist rated the patients at discharge using the SWAP‐A‐P and the SCORS‐G at discharge blind to each other's ratings. Results showed that more severe personality pathology was linked with more impairments in self and interpersonal functioning.
