About 30% of outpatients meet the criteria of a personality disorder (PD). When PD remains unnoticed or untreated, individuals with co-occurring PD benefit considerably less from disorder-related treatments for axis I disorders than patients without PD. The present study examines the diagnostic efficiency of the German version of the Standardized Assessment of Personality--Abbreviated Scale Self-Rating Version (SAPAS-SR).
