Abstract

This article focuses on the relationship between adverse childhood experiences and personality traits in individuals diagnosed with Functional Neurological Symptom Disorder (FND). A retrospective analysis of 21 patients, primarily female and white, examined correlations between scores on the Adverse Childhood Experiences Scale (ACES) and personality disorder composites derived from the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory, 3rd Edition (MMPI-3), specifically borderline, histrionic, avoidant, and dependent personality disorders. Significant positive correlations were found between emotional abuse and unsupportive environments in childhood and all four personality disorder composites. The findings suggest that ACES may help identify FND patients at risk for developing personality disorders and inform treatment approaches targeting maladaptive attachment styles.
