This Research Topic is the second volume of the 'Community Series in ICD-11 Personality Disorders: Utility and Implications of the New Model'. Please see the first volume
here.
The World Health Organization’s (WHO) Eleventh Edition of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11) provides a paradigm shift in the conceptualization and classification of personality disorder (PD). It is important to note that this ICD-11 approach must be used for coding purposes across all WHO member countries. Interestingly, the ICD-11 includes a fundamentally new way of diagnosing PD, consisting of a dimensional model, which classifies PDs in terms of (a) an overall level of severity of personality dysfunction (i.e., mild, moderate, and severe) and (b) across five broad trait domains of negative affectivity, detachment, dissociality, disinhibition, and anankastia. Notably, the ICD-11 PD model substantially aligns with the extensively evaluated Alternative Model of Personality Disorders (AMPD) in DSM-5 Section III, and the utility of the AMPD model is therefore expected to be generalizable and applicable to the ICD-11 PD model. In addition, a couple of new measures and algorithms are now provided to operationalize ICD-11 PD features, including various instruments for overall self/other functioning along with trait instruments such as the PiCD, FFiCD, PID5BF+, and an ICD-11 algorithm for the original PID-5.
The goal of this Research Topic is to examine, evaluate, or discuss the different clinical or scientific aspects of the new ICD-11 personality disorder classification based on the aforementioned instruments, correspondences with the AMPD model, or other relevant frameworks of personality functioning and traits. Thus, contributors may also take advantage of existing AMPD data (i.e., LPFS and PID-5 data) and ideally use algorithms for ICD-11 trait domain specifiers.
The SASPD has previously been introduced as a screening measure for the initial ICD-11 PD proposal. However, this measure is no longer relevant for the finally approved ICD-11 PD classification, and it will therefore not be taken into consideration for the present Research Topic.
