“…Patients with internalising disorders (anxiety and depression) scored slightly above the population norm, which may be interpreted as the presence of a current identity crisis. Patients with externalising disorders (ADHD and conduct disorder) did not differ from the school population in their identity development (29). It is in line with the AIDA definition of pathology-related identity development that patients with a personality disorder, especially borderline, show elevated scores, indicating that identity diffusion as defined in the AIDA…”

“…Jung et al (29) examined differences in identity development between adolescents with different psychiatric disorders using the AIDA questionnaire (30,31). Jung et al (29) found that patients with personality disorders, mostly borderline or other B cluster personality disorders scored on all AIDA scales remarkably higher than the healthy norm population, and higher than the other patient groups with internalising or externalising disorders. Patients with internalising disorders (anxiety and depression) scored slightly above the population norm, which may be interpreted as the presence of a current identity crisis.…”

Nesuicidalno samoozljeđivanje (NSSO) je značajan problem mentalnog zdravlja adolescenata. Pretpostavlja se da problemi u formiranju identiteta imaju važnu ulogu u nastanku samoozljeđujućeg ponašanja kod mladih. Ciljevi istraživanja su bili ispitati klinička obilježja u adolescenata s NSSO te istražiti razlike u razvoju identiteta između opće (školske) populacije adolescenata i adolescenata s NSSO. U istraživanju su sudjelovali adolescenti u dobi od 11 do 18 godina oba spola. Kliničku skupinu (n=31) činili su adolescenti prvi puta psihijatrijski hospitalizirani kod kojih je kliničkom procjenom utvrđena prisutnost NSSO unutar 6 mjeseci prije hospitalizacije. Školsku populaciju (n=294) činili su učenici osnovnih i srednjih škola Grada Zagreba. Svi adolescenti su popunjavali upitnik Procjena razvoja identiteta u adolescenciji (AIDA), dok su pacijenti ispunjavali i Inventar namjernog samoozljeđivanja (DSHI). U kliničkoj populaciji adolescenata utvrđena je visoka učestalost i multipli tipovi NSSO. Pacijenti s NSSO su imali značajno više rezultate difuzije identiteta u odnosu na učenike, što upućuje na veće poteškoće u razvoju identiteta kod adolescenata s NSSO. Bolje razumijevanje odnosa između oštećenja u razvoju identiteta i NSSO moglo bi unaprijediti procjenu i liječenje adolescenata s ovim značajnim psihijatrijskim problemom. / Nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) is a significant mental health problem among adolescents. Problems in identity formation have been hypothesised to play an important role in the emergence of self-harming behaviours among adolescents. The aims of the study were to examine clinical characteristics of hospitalized adolescents with NSSI and differences in identity development between inpatients with NSSI and general (school) adolescent population. The participants were adolescents aged 11 to 18 years of both genders. The clinical sample (n=31) included inpatients hospitalized for the first time at the psychiatric ward in whom NSSI was present 6 months before referral as established by clinical assessment. The school sample (n=294) consisted of elementary and high school students from the city of Zagreb. All adolescents completed the Assessment of Identity Development in Adolescence (AIDA), while inpatients with NSSI also completed the Deliberate Self-Harm Inventory (DSHI). A high frequency and multiple types of NSSI were found in the clinical sample. Inpatient adolescents with NSSI had significantly higher scores on Identity Diffusion than students, which indicates greater difficulties in identity development in hospitalized adolescents with NSSI. A better understanding of the relationship between impairment of identity development and NSSI could improve the assessment and treatment of adolescents with this significant psychiatric problem.

Personality disorders can be seen as patterns of maladaptive personality traits that have their onset during childhood or adolescence and that have an impact on the individual throughout the life span. Identity disturbance is seen as the central construct for detecting severe personality pathology-and, most notably, borderline personality disorder-in adults and adolescents. Therefore, in the revision of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition, the construct of "identity" has been integrated as a core diagnostic criterion for personality disorders.One of the most central tasks of normal adolescent development is the consolidation of identity. Crises in the development of identity usually resolve into a normal and consolidated identity with flexible and adaptive functioning. By contrast, identity diffusion is viewed as a lack of integration of the concept of the self and significant others; it is also seen as the basis for subsequent personality pathology, including that of borderline personality disorder, which leads to a broad spectrum of maladaptive and dysfunctional behaviors.To measure identity pathology and its improvement with treatment, we developed a self-report questionnaire entitled Assessment of Identity Development in Adolescence to establish a reliable, valid, and time-efficient inventory to represent a dimensional concept of healthy and impaired personality development. The reliability of this self-report questionnaire is excellent, and the total score differentiated significantly between controls and patients with personality disorders. Adolescent Identity Treatment is a treatment model that focuses on identity pathology as the core characteristic of personality disorders. This model integrates specific techniques for the treatment of adolescent personality pathology on the background of object-relation theories and modified elements of Transference-Focused Psychotherapy. Moreover, psychoeducation, behavior-oriented home plans, and family work support the therapeutic process of the adolescent.

“…En el área infanto adolescente, en el año 2012, se publicó el cuestionario AIDA (Evaluación del Desarrollo de la Identidad en la Adolescencia), este instrumento de alta especificidad ha sido desarrollado para evaluar a menores de edad, entre los 12 y 18 años 30,31 . Según el director de la Clasificación de los Trastornos Mentales y del comportamiento de la Clasificación Internacional de Enfermedades (CIE-11) Geoffrey M. Reed, en la futura edición, el área de los trastornos de personalidad presentará cambios relevantes, con posibles énfasis en la severidad del trastorno y una nueva codificación de los rasgos más prominentes, pretendiendo lograr mejor utilidad clínica 32 .…”

Objectives: The latest edition of DSM-5 proposed the inclusion of the evaluation of the identity as a criteria common to severe personality disorders, this paper will attempt to rescue the doomed interest to this alleged incorporation, for which we will have a brief theoretical review of Identity Criterion of ego as a diagnostic priority item that allows the distinction between Neurotic Organization versus Borderline. This paper deals with the revision of the Criteria of the Self Identity such as a priority diagnosis element.
