Seeking an answer for the psychotic triad personality disorder?

What is the accepted psychotic personality disorder triad? Has it proven to be true in most cases?

There are three physical acts that psychotics are prone to. The key word is PHYSICAL.

Okay, the triad includes the following factors:

Interpersonal

* Glibness/superficial charm
* Egocentricity/Grandiose sense of self-worth
* Pathological lying
* Conning/Manipulative

Affective

* Lack of remorse or guilt
* Callous/Lack of empathy
* Shallow affect
* Failure to accept responsibility for own actions

Lifestyle

* Need for stimulation/Proneness to boredom
* Parasitic lifestyle
* Lack of realistic, long-term goals
* Impulsivity
* Irresponsibility

There is a great deal of correlation between these factors, making the concept empiricaly valid. Interestingly, there is also a four factor model, which mainly divides up lifestyle into antisocial behavior and life style, allowing for the diagnosis of psychopathy even in the absence of criminal acts (it is thought that a great number of psychopaths use their inter-personal skills to their advantage in high-powers careers, and that not will will either (a) break the law, or (b) get caught)

To assess these factors, the Psychopathy Checklist-revised (PCL-R) is the only diagnostic tool, as DSM-IV and ICD-10 do not formally recognise psychopathy as a disorder and instead include it under 'antisocial personality disorder', which is farther reaching than psychopathy: most psychopaths will have antisocial PD, while few people with antisocial PD will be psychotic.

Interestingly, the PCL-R only recognises two factors of psychpathy:

Factor 1: Aggressive narcissism

* Glibness/superficial charm
* Grandiose sense of self-worth
* Pathological lying
* Conning/manipulative
* Lack of remorse or guilt
* Shallow affect
* Callous/lack of empathy
* Failure to accept responsibility for own actions

Factor 2: Socially deviant lifestyle

* Need for stimulation/proneness to boredom
* Parasitic lifestyle
* Weak behavioral controls
* Early behavioral problems
* Lack of realistic, long-term goals
* Impulsivity
* Irresponsibility
* Juvenile delinquency
* Revocation of conditional release

Factor one is highly correlated to narcisistic and histrionic personality disorders and criminality, while factor two correlates with with antisocial personality disorder.

I hope that helps somewhat!

EDIT: Could it be this?
In the pre-DSM-III era, phenelzine was reported to be globally efficacious in treating a subset of patients with pseudoneurotic schizophrenia. This diagnostic categorization describes patients characterized by the triad of pananxiety, panphobias, and chaotic sexuality but without psychosis or major depression.

EDIT: aha, I found it, I know what you mean now! from wikipedia, it's called the 'macdonald triad'

In psychology, there are three major personality traits in children that are said to be warning signs for the tendency to become a serial killer. They were first described by J. M. MacDonald in his article "The Threat to Kill" in the American Journal of Psychiatry.

* Firestarting, invariably just for the thrill of destroying things.
* Cruelty to animals. Many children can be cruel to animals, such as pulling the legs off of spiders, but future serial killers often kill larger animals, like dogs and cats, and frequently for their solitary enjoyment rather than to impress peers.
* Bedwetting beyond the age when children normally grow out of such behaviour.

It should be noted that recently this Triad, developed in 1963, has been called into question by other researchers. They note that many children and teenagers set fires or harm animals for many reasons (boredom, imitation of adult punishment of household pets, exploration of a "tough guy" identity, or even feelings of frustration). It is thus difficult to know whether these variables are in fact relevant to serial murder etiology and, if so, how precisely they matter.

if you know the real problem or cause of fear and anxiety,you may find out the answer to cure the mental illness.ask why?how it happen?what to do to lessen the negative effects psychologically and mentally.
