The ICD-11 classification of personality disorders: a European perspective on challenges and opportunities
AbstractThe 11th revision of the World Health Organization (WHO) International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11) includes a fundamentally new approach to Personality Disorders (PD).

However, she exhausted multiple other pharmacologic therapies and was open to trying whatever was available to improve her quality of life.

Cluster analysis of personality traits in psychiatric patients with borderline personality disorder
ConclusionsOur findings support hybrid models for diagnosing BPD by showing that clusters differed in terms of both severity (lower and higher psychopathology) and personality traits/style (internalizing and externalizing). Assessment of personality traits may be a feasible way to differentiate between clusters. In the future, this knowledge might be used to personalize treatment.
