Introduction: The DSM-5 Alternative Model of Personality Disorders (AMPD) and the ICD-11 classification of personality disorders (PD) are largely commensurate and, when combined, they delineate 6 trait domains: negative affectivity, detachment, antagonism/dissociality, disinhibition, anankastia, and psychoticism. Objective: The present study evaluated the international validity of a brief 36-item patientreport measure that portrays all 6 domains simultaneously including 18 primary subfacets. Methods: We developed and employed a modified version of the Personality Inventory for DSM-5-Brief Form Plus (PID5BF+). A total of 16,327 individuals were included, 2,347 of whom were patients. The expected 6-factor structure of facets was initially investigated in samples from Denmark (n = 584), Germany (n = 1,271), and the USA (n = 605) and subsequently replicated in both patient-and community samples from Italy,

ObjectiveThe objective of this study was to test if the Personality Inventory for DSM‐5 (PID‐5) is an adequate instrument to evaluate psychiatric inpatients' pathological personality traits.MethodsInpatients (n = 130; mean age: 38.5 years; 62.3% female; 63.9% single) answered the PID‐5 after clinical improvement of their psychiatric symptoms. The mean scores of the DSM‐5 personality domains, facets and profiles, and ICD‐11 domain traits were compared with the mean scores of a Brazilian normative sample (n = 656). We investigated the diagnostic performance of the scales to identify individuals with and without psychopathology.ResultsThe final sample included mainly diagnoses of mood disorders. Except for Antagonism and Disinhibition, all DSM‐5 personality domains and most facets as well as almost all DSM‐5 personality disorder profiles (except Narcissist) and ICD‐11 trait domains (except Detachment and Dissociality) of the inpatients presented high differences compared with the normative sample. In general, the PID‐5 scales presented a high negative predictive value and a low positive predictive value to identify individuals with severe psychopathology.DiscussionThis study found high scores of pathological personality traits in a sample of Brazilian psychiatric inpatients. The PID‐5 may be a promising instrument to measure pathological personality traits among psychiatric inpatients. Methodological and sample size limitations may have influenced the results. © 2018 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Introduction: The DSM-5 Alternative Model of Personality Disorders (AMPD) and the ICD-11 Classification of Personality Disorders (PD) are largely commensurate, and when combined, they delineate six trait domains: Negative Affectivity, Detachment, Antagonism/Dissociality, Disinhibition, Anankastia, and Psychoticism. Objective: The present study evaluated the international validity of abrief 36-item patient-report measure that portrays all six domains simultaneously including 18 primary subfacets. Methods: We developed and employed a modified version of the Personality Inventory for DSM-5 – Brief Form Plus (PID5BF+). A total number of 16,327 individuals were included, of which 2,347 were patients. The expected 6-factor structure of facets was initially investigated insamples from Denmark (n = 584), Germany (n = 1,271), and the U.S. (n = 605), and was subsequently replicated in both patient- and community samples from Italy, France, Switzerland, Belgium, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Poland, Czech Republic, U.S., and Brazil. Associations with interview-rated DSM-5 PD categories were also investigated. Results: Findings generally supported the empirical soundness andinternational robustness of the six domains including meaningful associations with familiar interviewratedPD types. Conclusions: The modified PID5BF+ may be employed internationally by clinicians and researchers for brief and reliable assessment of the six combined DSM-5 and ICD-11 domains, including 18 primary subfacets. This six-domain framework may inform a future nosology for DSM-5.1 that is more reasonably aligned with the authoritative ICD-11 codes than the current DSM-5 AMPD model. The 36-item modified PID5BF+ scoring key is provided in supplemental Appendix A.

-The Challenge of Retiring in the Contemporary World. Retirement is experienced differently depending on the professional trajectories, on the ageing process and on personal characteristics. This article analyzes the testimonies of 70 subjects with ages above 45 that spoke about their perspectives and experiences regarding retirement. The results of the study point, on the one hand, towards the impact of retirement upon workers, challenging them to rethink and reorganize their lives. On the other hand, they show that there are different and diverging forms of dealing with retirement, influenced by the nature and conditions of work trajectories, as well as by the way people perceive and experience the ageing process. Keywords: Retirement. Ageing. Work. RESUMO -O Desafio de Aposentar-se no Mundo Contemporâneo.A aposentadoria é vivenciada de diferentes formas dependendo das trajetórias profissionais, do processo de envelhecimento e de características pessoais. O presente artigo analisa os relatos de 70 sujeitos acima de 45 anos que discorrem sobre suas perspectivas e experiências em relação à aposentadoria. Os resultados da pesquisa sinalizam, por um lado, o impacto da aposentadoria sobre os trabalhadores, desafiando-os a repensarem e reorganizarem suas vidas. Por outro lado, demonstram que existem formas diferentes e divergentes de lidar, influenciadas pela natureza e condições das trajetórias laborais, bem como pelo modo como percebem e vivenciam o processo de envelhecimento.

The Emotion Regulation Checklist (ERC) is an instrument for the hetero-evaluation of the level of emotion regulation of children by means of two scales, Emotion Regulation (ER) and Emotional Lability/ Negativity (L/N). ER assesses the expression of emotions, empathy, and emotional self-awareness, while L/N assesses the lack of fl exibility, anger dysregulation, and mood lability. The aim of this study is to perform the translation and cross-cultural adaptation of the ERC and investigate evidence of the validity of its Brazilian version. Two studies are conducted: Study I-Translation and cross-cultural adaptation of ERC for use in Brazil; and Study II-Investigation of evidence of the validity of the ERC. The sample includes 561 informants (parents and teachers) of children aged 3-12 years old. The exploratory factor analysis (EFA) assumptions are adequate, and the two-factor solution (ER and L/N) is shown to be the most adequate, explaining 57% of the variance (L/N α = .77 and ER α = .73). Subscale L/N is positively correlated with measurements of behavioral problems, while subscale ER is positively correlated with measurements of social skills. The present study provides the fi rst evidence of the validity of the ERC for use in the Brazilian context.

A demanda por uma formação profissional com qualidade fomentou o desenvolvimento do Centro de Avaliação Psicológica (CAP) do Instituto de Psicologia da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS). O CAP é uma clínica-escola especializada em avaliação e diagnóstico psicológicos. O presente relato de experiência tem como objetivo apresentar os trabalhos desenvolvidos no CAP, bem como os métodos e práticas empregados no serviço. Com isso, espera-se colaborar com o desenvolvimento da Avaliação Psicológica no Brasil por meio do incentivo de estratégias que qualifiquem a formação de psicólogos na prática da avaliação e diagnóstico psicológico.
