Description

The DSM-5 and ICD-11 have proposed significant changes in the assessment and diagnosis of personality disorders, the largest change being a transition from personality disorder categories to assessing personality disorder trait dimensions and level of personality severity.  With this transition, guidelines for treatment are also being articulated and integrated into existing treatment modalities.  This workshop will discuss the newer assessment and classification systems.  It will provide an overview of what a typical patient might look like at various levels of severity.  The workshop will also introduce participants to the construct of malignant self-regard and its origins with the personality disorder literature.  Finally, a case will be presented and discussed in relationship to the new diagnostic and assessment framework.
