ABSTRACT

In distinguishing why some patients respond and other do not respond to treatments arraised the clinically very important body of research considering weather patients' personality characteristics might predict outcomes of pharmacotherapeutic treatment. Personality can be a predictor of a psychiatric disorder either owing to their common genetic background or because it enhances exposure of the subject to environmental risk factors. The results of the studies using psychobiological model are reviewed. The studies show that personality temperament dimension Harm Avoidance and character dimension Self-directedness predict outcomes of the pharmacological treatment of depression, but the result for other psychiatric disorders are sparse. The studies are not straightforward in recommendations for treatment choice dependent of personality dimensions.
