“…Although new to the DSM’s framework for diagnosing PD, these broad dimensions are rooted in the scientific literature associated with the Big-Five/Five-Factor Model of personality (Krueger, Eaton et al, 2011; Widiger & Simonsen, 2005) and are recognizable as maladaptive variants of these normative traits (Wright et al, in press). Additionally, they build upon prior successful attempts to operationalize maladaptive variants of these dimensions, such as the Personality Psychopathology-5 (Arnau, Handel, & Archer, 2005; Harkness, Finn, McNulty, & Shields, in press; Harkness & McNulty, 1994; Harkness, McNulty, & Ben-Porath, 1995; Quilty & Bagby, 2007; Wygant, Sellbom, Graham, & Schenk, 2006). …”

The proposed changes to the personality disorder section of the DSM-5 places an increased focus on interpersonal impairment as one of the defining features of personality psychopathology. In addition, a proposed trait model has been offered to provide a means of capturing phenotypic variation on the expression of personality disorder. In this study, we subject the proposed DSM-5 traits to interpersonal analysis using the Inventory of Interpersonal Problems – Circumplex scales via the structural summary method for circumplex data. DSM-5 traits were consistently associated with generalized interpersonal dysfunction suggesting that they are maladaptive in nature, the majority of traits demonstrated discriminant validity with prototypical and differentiated interpersonal problem profiles, and conformed well to a priori hypothesized associations. These results are discussed in the context of the DSM-5 proposal and contemporary interpersonal theory, with a particular focus on potential areas for expansion of the DSM-5 trait model.

Assessing DSM-5 Section III Personality Traits and Disorders With the MMPI-2-RF

An alternative model for diagnosing personality disorders (PDs) appears in DSM-5 Section III. This model includes a set of dimensional personality traits, which along with impairment in personality functioning can be configured to represent one of six PDs. Although specific assessment instruments for these personality traits have already been developed (e.g., the Personality Inventory for DSM-5 [PID-5]), clinicians will likely continue to use omnibus measures of psychopathology that are familiar to them to inform diagnostic decision making. One such measure, the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2-Restructured Form (MMPI-2-RF), will likely remain in the test armamentarium of many practitioners and be employed to assess the DSM-5 dimensional traits. In the current investigation, we examined the associations between MMPI-2-RF scale scores and the PID-5 trait scores and DSM-5 Section III PDs in a combined sample of university students (n = 668) from the United States and Canada. Our results indicated that the MMPI-2-RF scale scores mostly converge with PID-5 dimensional traits as well as the Section III PDs in a conceptually expected manner. As such, we conclude that the MMPI-2-RF is a potentially useful instrument in assessing personality psychopathology as conceptualized in DSM-5 Section III.

“…More research is needed to test their utility, for example, because the internal consistency of some facets is unacceptably low (Graham 2006). In this regard, Quilty and Bagby (2007) found that the reliability and discriminability of the subscales were mostly inadequate. In terms of forensic application, Ben-Porath (2006) described his research showing relevant empirical correlates of the PSY-5 scales in a pretrial forensic assessment sample (Petroskey et al 2003).…”

The present paper explores personality disorder from a biopsychosocial and developmental perspective, in particular, while considering forensic applications. It reviews criticisms of the current approach to classification, especially about its categorical in nature. Then, the paper focuses on the Five-Factor Model of personality dimensions and the attempts to relate it to understanding and assessing personality disorder (Costa and Widiger 2002). Developmental research is revealing that from early in life, temperament and personality seem to conform to a fivefactor structure akin to the Big Five, although there are exceptions. Next, the paper examines the biopsychosocial model of personality and considers how personality disorder in the healthcare context affects treatment, relations with providers, and so on. Lastly, the paper examines Young's (1997) stage model of development in relation to the Big Five and shows how the manner in which it deals with the development of the self may facilitate understanding of personality development and its disturbance. Recommendations and implications are considered.
