Abstract
Personality disorders (PD) occur frequently and show high remission rates in the long term, while psychosocial recovery remains unsuccessful in a substantial proportion of cases. In ICD-11 the traditional view that PDs have a high stability is abandoned. Instead, the minimum duration is 2 years. The diagnostic process differentiates between three degrees of severity (mild, moderate, severe) and five prominent personality trait domains. Optionally, a borderline qualifying factor can be additionally codified. There is sufficient empirical evidence only for the treatment of borderline PD (BPD). Disorder-specific psychotherapy, in particular dialectic behavioral therapy (DBT) and mentalization-based therapy (MBT) have proven to be effective. Therapy modules targeting functional impairments and prominent personality trait domains could close the existing gaps in the disorder-specific treatment of PD.
