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

TL;DR: Examination of the five-factor model of personality disorder scales in the prediction of health behaviors, heath perceptions, and inflammatory biomarkers across two timepoints in a large, representative community sample of older adults indicates that the FFMPD scales explain a moderate amount of variance in the physical health variables across time.

TL;DR: Three measures of BDD showed substantial convergent validity correlations and could be reliably cumulated to obtain the BDD Cumulative Index (BDDCI), and depressivity, anhedonia, perseveration, separation insecurity, and cognitive and perceptual dysregulation were core components of the dysfunctional personality profile associated with BDD.

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.
