The present chapter aims at providing an overview of the current state of the art as to the conceptualization, diagnosis, epidemiology, etiological correlates, and treatment of personality disorders (PDs). The two DSM-5 models for PDs (i.e., the traditional categorical model listed in DSM-5 Section II and the Alternative Model of PD proposed in DSM-5 Section III) are reviewed and the scientific rationale for moving from a categorical model to an empirically based dimensional model of PDs are presented. Key aspects and basic principles of PD treatment are summarized. Finally, the chapter offers three clinical vignettes to help the reader familiarizing with the clinical presentation of PDs.

Abstract
The present chapter aims at providing an overview of the current state of the art as to the conceptualization, diagnosis, epidemiology, etiological correlates, and treatment of personality disorders (PDs). The two DSM-5 models for PDs (i.e., the traditional categorical model listed in DSM-5 Section II and the Alternative Model of PD proposed in DSM-5 Section III) are reviewed and the scientific rationale for moving from a categorical model to an empirically based dimensional model of PDs are presented. Key aspects and basic principles of PD treatment are summarized. Finally, the chapter offers three clinical vignettes to help the reader familiarizing with the clinical presentation of PDs.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
