In my thesis, which I am currently writing, I'm focusing on the links between (risky) sexual behaviour and Kernberg's concept of personality organization.
I have found information about sexual behaviours in patients with neurotic and borderline personality organization. However, when it comes to the psychotic personality organization I have not found any satisfactory information.
Would be grateful for any tips!
I think there is a large qualitative/clinical literature concerning sexuality in people with psychotic disorders, mostly deriving from the psychoanalytic tradition. You'll find a good deal about "chaotic" or "poorly differentiated" sexuality, "polymorphous perversity," and so forth. As is usual with this literature, it is descriptively rich and often accurate, but contains less supporting evidence than one might wish - and of course the causal inferences are invalid.
In PsycINFO, I tried running a search with these parameters: (schizophrenia or psychotic) AND (sexual*) NOT trauma NOT abuse NOT antipsychotic
This yielded 1,769 "hits," including 1,311 journal articles. Limiting the search to English-language sources trimmed the total by about 300 more. Not all of these will be relevant to your work, I'm sure, but it's a starting place. Frankly, it's too many for me to sift through on your behalf while taking a break from my own academic duties. (And of course some of the many articles that do treat of abuse or trauma will also turn out to be relevant.) I wish I could offer an easier solution, but at least you aren't "high and dry."
