DSM-IV and ICD-10 both diagnose personality disorders categorically, yet studies indicate that many patients meet criteria for an excessive number of diagnoses, raising the question of whether personality disorders are discrete conditions or rather distinctions along dimensions of general personality functioning. This collection of papers renews long-standing proposals for a dimensional model of personality disorder, describing alternative models, addressing questions about their clinical application and utility, and suggesting that future research seek to integrate such models within a common hierarchical structure.With contributions by preeminent researchers in the field, Dimensional Models of Personality Disorders is drawn from a conference series convened by APA, WHO, and NIH in order to plan for the fifth edition of the DSM. The Nomenclature Work Group concluded that consideration should be given to basing part or all of DSM-V on dimensions rather than categories, and recommended that a dimensional model for personality disorders should serve as a basis for exploring dimensional approaches in other areas. Accordingly, the volume opens with a presentation of 18 proposals for dimensional models and proceeds with provocative contributions on a number of related issues ranging from hard science to clinical practice. Among the topics addressed are ; Behavioral and molecular genetic research supporting an etiologically informed dimensional classification of personality disorders; The as-yet tenuous associations between dimensional trait measures of personality as contained in the models of Cloninger, Depue, and Siever-Davis, and specific neurobiological measures, as examined in neurotransmitter research; Potential links between childhood and adolescent temperament and personality dimensions and adult personality psychopathology; Studies examining the covariation of personality dimensions across cultures; The continuity of Axis I and Axis II disorders and a proposed hierarchical structure of mental disorders that integrates the psychopathology of Axis I disorders with specific personality traits; The dual challenges of coverage and cutoffs that must be addressed if dimensional models are to be considered viable alternatives to the existing categorical diagnostic system Although the editors acknowledge that concerns are certain to be raised regarding conversion to a dimensional classification - such as the disruption to clinical practice by a radical shift in diagnosing personality disorder - these papers make a strong case for opening the field to alternative ways of enhancing clinical utility and improving the validity of basic classification concepts. Together, they offer stimulating insight into how we approach personality disorders, with the hope of encouraging a new model of diagnosis for DSM-V.

From pioneering scientist-practitioners, this book offers the first comprehensive guide to using the groundbreaking Alternative Model for Personality Disorders (AMPD) in clinical practice. The authors explain how the AMPD weaves together evidence-based assessment of personality functioning and traits to provide a dimensional understanding of the client's needs, strengths, and level of impairment. Vivid case examples illustrate applications in clinical assessment, client feedback, diagnosis, treatment planning, and personalized intervention. The book's final section describes ways to apply the AMPD with specific patterns of personality disorder and with other mental health issues, such as complex trauma and impulse-control problems.

Psychopathy remains one of the least understood personality disorders and one of the most intransigent to therapeutic amelioration. Better understanding of this disorder is not helped by its DSM definition, which specifies diagnostic criteria in terms of concrete antisocial behaviors rather than psychological dynamics. In a concerted effort to remedy this situation, this volume brings together a distinguished array of contributors to provide a comprehensive review of research on psychopathy--its nature, causes, and effects on the individual and society, as well as current management approaches.

This forward-thinking volume grapples with critical questions surrounding the mechanisms underlying mental disorders and the systems used for classifying them. Edited and written by leading international authorities, many of whom are actively involved with the development of DSM-V and ICD-11, the book integrates biological and psychosocial perspectives. It provides balanced analyses of such issues as the role of social context and culture in psychopathology and the pros and cons of categorical versus dimensional approaches to diagnosis. Cutting-edge diagnostic instruments and research methods are reviewed. Throughout, contributors highlight the implications of current theoretical and empirical advances for understanding real-world clinical problems and developing more effective treatments.

Psykopati har i dagligt tal kommit att förknippas med människor som begår kallblodiga och fasansfulla handlingar, som till exempel seriemord, terrorattacker och bedrägerier i miljonklassen. I den här boken söker vi oss bort från alla sensationsskildringar och ger en professionell men samtidigt lättillgänglig introduktion till psykopati – vad är det och vad kan vi göra åt det?Boken är skriven och redigerad av experter på psykopati med anknytning till Skandinavien. Med utgångspunkt i aktuell forskning undersöker författarna centrala frågor om psykopati, som bland annat hur psykopatiska personlighetsdrag yttrar sig och hur denna personlighetsstörning utvecklas. Boken behandlar också praktiska frågor som hur psykopati skiljer sig från andra psykiska störningar, hur man gör en klinisk bedömning och utredning, vilken roll psykopati spelar i juridiska sammanhang och hur man hanterar och behandlar människor med psykopati.Boken vänder sig till studerande och yrkesaktiva inom psykologi, psykiatri, kriminologi, juridik, socialt arbete och kriminalvård, men också till en intresserad allmänhet som vill veta mer om människor med psykopati.
