Yet the exact associations between hypnotic suggestibility and their personality disorder functioning styles remain unclear. Methods: We invited 36 patients with CAPD and 115 healthy volunteers to undergo the Stanford Hypnotic Susceptibility Scale: Form C (SHSS:C) and Parker Personality Measure (PERM). Results: Compared to controls; patients scored higher on PERM paranoid; schizoid; schizotypal; borderline; avoidant; and dependent styles; on the SHSS:C total and \u201cchallenge suggestions\u201d, and the passing rates of \u201chand lowering\u201d, \u201carm rigidity\u201d, \u201cdream\u201d, and \u201carm immobilization\u201d. In patients, \u201cdream\u201d negatively predicted the schizoid; \u201challucinated voice\u201d negatively the schizotypal; \u201cmosquito hallucination\u201d positively the histrionic and dependent; and \u201carm immobilization\u201d negatively the avoidant style. Conclusions: Our results suggested that the insusceptibility to perceptual suggestions from others and the high control over body contribute to the paranoid attitude and interpersonal avoidance in CAPD. These findings help to understand the cause of interpersonal problems in these patients and suggest the trial of hypnotherapy for them.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/brainsci13020182","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,23]],"date-time":"2023-01-23T02:01:02Z","timestamp":1674439262000},"page":"182","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Hypnotizability and Disordered Personality Styles in Cluster A Personality Disorders"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Bingren","family":"Zhang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Clinical Medicine, Hangzhou Normal University, Hangzhou 311121, China"},{"name":"Center for Cognition and Brain Disorders, The Affiliated Hospital, Hangzhou Normal University, Hangzhou 310015, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Bing","family":"Pan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychiatry, Second Affiliated Hospital, School of Medicine, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou 310009, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jueying","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Clinical Medicine, Hangzhou Normal University, Hangzhou 311121, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Junjie","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Clinical Medicine, Hangzhou Normal University, Hangzhou 311121, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Zhenyu","family":"Zhu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Clinical Medicine, Hangzhou Normal University, Hangzhou 311121, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Timo Juhani","family":"Lajunen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, 7034 Trondheim, Norway"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6822-8162","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Wei","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, 7034 Trondheim, Norway"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"American Psychiatric Association (2013).
