The time has come for dimensional personality disorder diagnosis

“…In contrast, there is a vast body of empirical literature supporting dimensional models of personality disorder that are closely aligned with the proposed model , in addition to the emerging body of work on the specific dimensions proposed for ICD‐11 . The ICD‐11 proposal has two elements.…”

Toward a firmer foundation for ICD‐11: On the conceptualization and assessment of personality pathology

“…Tyrer et al 's (2016) results point to another unacknowledged area of complexity in personality pathology research: Certain PDs can be maladaptive in some contexts but adaptive in others. Tyrer et al .…”

“…The complexity of personality pathology is reflected in the results from the present studies. First, Tyrer et al (2016) examined the impact of temporary and persistent personality disorder on anxiety and depressive symptoms in 162 former outpatients followed over 12 years, finding that patients with persistent personality disorder (defined as clinically significant personality pathology documented on two occasions 2 years apart) showed higher levels of depression and anxiety than patients with temporary personality disorder (clinically significant personality pathology found on one testing but not the other).…”

Outpatient psychodynamic group psychotherapy – outcomes related to personality disorder, severity, age and gender

“…Several studies have emphasized the large variability of long‐term course among PD‐patients and linked heterogeneity to PD‐type/cluster and severity (Durbin & Klein, ; Hallquist & Lenzenweger, ; Kvarstein & Karterud, ; Seivewright, Tyrer, & Johnson, ; Tyrer, Tyrer, Yang, & Guo, ). Age‐related variability has also been observed in large longitudinal studies of PD (Johnson et al ., ) and in a naturalistic study of group psychotherapy (Lorentzen, Bogwald, & Hoglend, ).…”
