It is well known that patients affected by rheumatic diseases may present specific pathological trends in personality structure, as has been extensively reported in literature. Our study was aimed at investigating several aspects of the personality traits of 20 patients with psoriatic arthropathy, compared with a group of 20 patients with rheumatoid arthritis. All patients were evaluated with appropriate rating scales assigned in auto and hetero-administration. The study results point to a personality trait disturbance in psoriatic arthritis patients, which can be clearly differentiated from the anxious habitus and/or reactive-depressive state observed in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.

Abstract
It is well known that patients affected by rheumatic diseases may present specific pathological trends in personality structure, as has been extensively reported in literature. Our study was aimed at investigating several aspects of the personality traits of 20 patients with psoriatic arthropathy, compared with a group of 20 patients with rheumatoid arthritis. All patients were evaluated with appropriate rating scales assigned in auto and hetero-administration. The study results point to a personality trait disturbance in psoriatic arthritis patients, which can be clearly differentiated from the anxious habitus and/or reactive-depressive state observed in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
