One measure that has been developed to measure Criterion A impairment is the Level of Personality Functioning Scale\u2013Brief Form 2.0 (LPFS-BF 2.0), a brief, self-report questionnaire. The present study investigated the psychometric properties, factor structure, and change across brief treatment of the LPFS-BF 2.0 in a large, naturalistic psychiatric sample. Patients (\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">N<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u2009820) completed the LPFS-BF 2.0 alongside psychiatric measures at admission and discharge at a brief, intensive partial hospital program. The LPFS-BF 2.0 demonstrated good internal consistency and convergent validity. Confirmatory factor analysis generally supported a two-factor structure, with modifications improving fit. As hypothesized, LPFS-BF 2.0 total and subscores did not change significantly from pre-to post-treatment. Altogether, we present the largest psychometric evaluation of the LPFS-BF 2.0 in a transdiagnostic partial hospital sample serving patients with acute needs, with and without personality disorders. Our findings provide incremental support for the reliability, convergent validity, and clinical utility of the LPFS-BF 2.0 as a brief screening tool in transdiagnostic psychiatric settings.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/10731911261488739","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,8]],"date-time":"2026-10-08T03:39:03Z","timestamp":1791430743000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["The Psychometric Properties and Sensitivity to Change of the Level of Personality Functioning Scale\u2013Brief Form 2.0 in a Large Naturalistic Psychiatric Sample"],"prefix":"10.1177","author":[{"given":"Aayushi N.","family":"Sangani","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"McLean Hospital, Belmont, MA, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Julia L.","family":"Nolan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"McLean Hospital, Belmont, MA, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sophie","family":"Paolizzi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"McLean Hospital, Belmont, MA, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kailyn","family":"Fan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"McLean Hospital, Belmont, MA, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Courtney","family":"Beard","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"McLean Hospital, Belmont, MA, USA"},{"name":"Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7168-4241","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jenna M.","family":"Traynor","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"McLean Hospital, Belmont, MA, USA"},{"name":"Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_4_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1176\/appi.books.9780890425596"},{"key":"e_1_3_4_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Babyak M.
