- Personality organization, emotion regulation, and symptom distressPublication . Barreto, João Francisco; Matos, Paula MenaEvidence suggests that the severity of personality difficulties, regardless of their type, may be the most important determinant of current and future dysfunction (Hopwood et al., 2011). Otto F. Kernberg’s model of personality organization (PO) describes severity of personality disturbance as a continuum from normal-neurotic functioning, through borderline, to psychotic personality, along which the predominance of primitive defenses and the concomitant identity disturbance augments, with reality testing compromised in the psychotic pole (e.g., Kernberg & Caligor, 2005). The increasing influence of primitive, intense emotions lacking integration often manifest in affect dysregulation and behavioral correlates such as anger expression and impulsive self-destructive behaviors (Clarkin, Yeomans, & Kernberg, 2006). Still, there is little research into the paths through which PO affects symptoms, in which emotion (dys)regulation must play an important role.
