Study supports alternative model for personality disorders in upcoming DSM-5

May 10, 2013 ? A new "alternative model" included in the upcoming Fifth Edition of the American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM -5) lines up well with the current approach to diagnosis of personality disorder, according to a study in the May Journal of Psychiatric Practice.

The findings lend support to the new "hybrid" model, which combines the "core" dimensions of personality disorder with various maladaptive personality traits found in individual patients, according to the report by Leslie C. Morey, PhD, of Texas A & M University and Andrew E. Skodol, MD, of the University of Arizona College of Medicine and Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons.

Hybrid Model Compares Well with DSM-IV Diagnosis of Personality Disorders

Experts working on the long-awaited DSM-5 -- to be published later this month -- recommended substantial revisions to the section on personality disorders. Specifically, they proposed a "hybrid categorical-dimensional model" including not only "core impairments in personality functioning" but also various combinations of "pathological personality traits" associated with these conditions. Goals of the proposal included:

  • Reducing overlap among personality disorder diagnoses
  • Reducing heterogeneity among patients receiving the same diagnosis
  • Eliminating arbitrary diagnostic thresholds with little or no research basis
  • Addressing the widespread use of the vague "personality disorder not otherwise specified" diagnosis
  • Providing diagnostic thresholds that are related to level of impairment in a meaningful way

Although the proposal was endorsed by the DSM-5 Task Force, it was decided that the hybrid model required more research support before being fully adopted. Therefore, the hybrid model will be referred to as an "alternative model" and placed in Section III of the DSM-5, which contains concepts for which further research is needed. Meanwhile, the main body of the DSM-5 will retain the DSM-IV criteria for personality disorders.

A key concern was whether the new model would lead to discrepancies between DSM-IV and DSM-5 definitions of the same disorder -- especially for diagnoses such as borderline, antisocial, and schizotypal personality disorders for which a substantial body of research literature exists. "It is important to evaluate whether thresholds can be established that provide solid continuity between DSM-IV and proposed DSM-5 definitions," Drs Morey and Skodol write.

Their study included a national sample of 337 patients, who were diagnosed under both systems by clinicians familiar with their cases. The results showed appreciable correspondence between the DSM-IV diagnosis of personality disorders and the hybrid categorical-dimensional diagnostic model proposed for DSM-5. The two models agreed well for various subtypes, including borderline, avoidant, obsessive-compulsive, antisocial, narcissistic, and schizotypal personality disorders.

"[T]raditional DSM-IV categories of personality disorder can be rendered in terms of core impairments in personality functioning and pathological personality traits with high fidelity," Drs Morey and Skodol conclude. They believe their findings "should allay fears that translating PDs into personality functioning and trait terms will be disruptive to clinical practice or research."

The researchers add, "[T]he definition of all personality disorders in terms of core impairments in personality functioning and pathological personality traits identifies personality pathology with high sensitivity and specificity and utility for treatment planning and prognosis." If their results are borne out by future studies using other methods and samples, Drs Morey and Skodol believe their findings support adopting the new categorical-dimensional model for clinical diagnosis.

What You Do not Know About Organic Search Engine Optimization ...

Unfortunately, that reality has led to a lot of fly-by-night search engine optimization companies who are promising the moon and the stars for search engine ranking results that they can?t possible?

With virtually 85% of World wide web users accessing search engines to find items and services, according to a leading Arizona Search engine optimisation Firm, web sites that do not have a organic search engine optimization program that gets them a Prime 10 search engine ranking are missing out on a lot of business.

Sadly, that fact has led to a lot of fly-by-night search engine optimization businesses who are promising the moon and the stars for search engine ranking outcomes that they can not feasible receive.
advertisers
These on the web marketing and advertising rip-off artists offer so-referred to as search engine optimization ?packages? that are based upon faulty logic and dishonest practices that typically finish up obtaining their client?s internet sites banned for life by any respectable search engine.

It is feasible to obtain a Top 10 search engine ranking, but never ?overnight?, making use of what is identified as all-natural search engine optimization.

On the web advertising and marketing companies that supply organic search engine optimization services use a combination of established, legal strategies that support a net internet site rank higher in the natural or ?organic? search engine listings that are generated by search engine spiders that ?crawl? a internet internet site seeking for keyword-wealthy content and properly formatted pages.

When organic search engine optimization guidelines are followed, the net web site progressively increases its rank and appears larger in the Search Engine Result Pages (SERPs). The end result is usually a Best ten ranking that the internet site received naturally and without having paying thousands of dollars to acquire essential word placement.

Natural search engine optimization solutions are the only Search engine optimization choices that won?t get a net web site banned for making use of dirty tricks, and they are the only Seo services you ought to contemplate if you want to stay in the sales game for the lengthy run.

Of course, search engine optimization is only half the battle. All the traffic in the planet will not do you any very good if some of it doesn?t convert to sales.

But honestly, the sales conversion procedure is a lot easier to fine-tune than search engine optimization is unless you know specifically what you are undertaking.

Web web site owners are cautioned against attempting to perform natural search engine optimization techniques themselves, because all it requires is a single or two small errors to result in your internet site to fall to the bottom of the listings. And that will price you far more income than you saved by carrying out search engine optimization oneself.
