Plate tectonics in the classification of personality disorder: shifting to a dimensional model.
TLDR
It may be time to consider a shift to a dimensional classification of personality disorder that would help address the failures of the existing diagnostic categories as well as contribute to an integration of the psychiatric diagnostic manual with psychology's research on general personality structure.Abstract:
The diagnostic categories of the American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders were developed in the spirit of a traditional medical model that considers mental disorders to be qualitatively distinct conditions (see, e.g., American Psychiatric Association, 2000). Work is now beginning on the fifth edition of this influential diagnostic manual. It is perhaps time to consider a fundamental shift in how psychopathology is conceptualized and diagnosed. More specifically, it may be time to consider a shift to a dimensional classification of personality disorder that would help address the failures of the existing diagnostic categories as well as contribute to an integration of the psychiatric diagnostic manual with psychology's research on general personality structure.read more

The incremental utility of maladaptive self and identity functioning over general functioning for borderline personality disorder features in adolescents.
TL;DR: In this article , a measure of maladaptive self and identity function was administered alongside measures of general psychiatric impairment, peer problems, life satisfaction, and academic functioning in 2 samples of adolescents: a community-dwelling sample (n = 379; Mage = 14.70, SD = 1.74) and a sample of clinically-referred adolescents (n= 74; Mage= 15.05, SD= 1.47).

Depressive Personality Disorder: A Comparison of Three Self-Report Measures
TL;DR: The authors test the incremental validity of the DPD scores in relation to psychological functioning and suggest that this is not specific to DPD, however, as the official PDs also manifested limited incremental validity.

Understanding the Relationship Between Complicated Grief Symptoms and Patterns of Personality Disorders in a Substance Users' Sample: A Network Analysis Approach.
TL;DR: It is found that complicated grief is largely independent of patterns of personality disorders with the exception of depressive and paranoid, and has implications for assessment and appropriate treatment of complicated grief symptoms and substance use disorder.

Thought control strategies as predictors of borderline personality disorder and suicide risk.
TL;DR: The findings represent a first step towards examining thought control strategies as possible predictors of BPD symptoms and suicide that can inform clinical interventions designed to increase or decrease utilization of these specific strategies.

Connecting quantitatively derived personality-psychopathology models and neuroscience
TL;DR: In a special issue of Personality Neuroscience, authors took up the challenge of reconceptualizing personality and psychopathology in terms of connected and interrelated dimensions, and they considered the utility of pursuing neuroscientific inquiry from a more integrative perspective as mentioned in this paper.

Construct validity in psychological tests.

TL;DR: The present interpretation of construct validity is not "official" and deals with some areas where the Committee would probably not be unanimous, but the present writers are solely responsible for this attempt to explain the concept and elaborate its implications.
