Why is an evidence ‐based classification of personality disorder so elusive?
ABSTRACTDespite recent revisions, the classification of personality disorder remains a matter of dispute, and there is little evidence of consistent progress toward an evidence ‐based system. This essay examines four issues impeding taxonomic progress and explores how they might be addressed. First, the phenomenological and aetiological complexity of personality disorder poses a formidable challenge to traditional taxonomic methods. Second, current classifications incorp orate assumptions such as a stringent version of medical model and an essentialist philosophy that are inconsistent with empirical evidence. Third, desp...

Construct validity of Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory ‐2‐Restructured Form scale scores in correctional settings
This study focused on establishing construct validity of the MMPI‐2‐RF in offender samples from a broad personality framework. Two samples of incarcerated men and women completed a battery of broadband personality measures and narrowband measures that capture conceptually related constructs. To examine how MMPI‐2‐RF scale scores and criterion measures converged in a conjoint latent structure, we conducted a series of exploratory structural equation model ling analyses, which revealed factors similar to those of extant hierarchical personality models. At the broadband level, four factors (Positive Activation, Negati...

Elucidating the relationship between borderline personality disorder and intimate partner violence
This study examined the established association between borderline personality disorder (BPD) and intimate partner violence (IPV). More specifically, it compared the DSM ‐5 traditional categorical personality disorder (PD) model with the DSM‐5 Alternative Model of PD (AMPD) operationalizations of BPD in their relative associations with IPV. The effects of gender, as well as the associations between BPD and different forms of IPV were also considered. Additionall y, we investigated the specific BPD‐relevant AMPD personality traits that influence the BPD‐IPV association. The study sample were 250 community‐dwelling...

Scripting the DSM ‐5 Alternative Model for Personality Disorders assessment procedure: A clinically feasible multi‐informant multi‐method approach
We present a case from clinical practice to illustrate a standardized, clinically feasible procedure for assessing personality pathology accordin g to the full AMPD model, using a multi‐method approach. We aim to present a procedure that can guide and inspire clinicians that are going to work with dimensional models as presented in DSM‐5 and ICD‐11. Specifically, we show how questionnaire and interview data from multiple sources (i.e. p atient and family) can be combined. The clinical case also illustrates how Criterion A (i.e. functioning) and B (i.e. traits) are interrelated, suggesting that the joint assessment of...

Service users' experiences of receiving a diagnosis of borderline personality disorder: A systematic review
AbstractThere is ongoing controversy regarding the borderline personality disorder (BPD) diagnosis. Whilst the experiences of people living with BPD have been widely acknowledged, the process of receiving the diagnosis is poorly described. This systematic review aimed to synthesize the existing research exploring people's experiences of receiving a diagnosis of BPD, as well as examining what is considered best practice in the diagnostic delivery process. The findings from 12 qualitative studies were synthesized using thematic analysis, generating two overarching themes: negative and positive experiences of receiving a diag...

Interfacing neural constructs with the Hierarchical Taxonomy of Psychopathology: ‘Why' and ‘how'
AbstractThe Hierarchical Taxonomy of Psychopathology (HiTOP) represents a crucial step forward in the empirical refinement of psychiatric nosology. Although grounded in factor analyses of clinical symptoms and affiliated traits, HiTOP encourages research using measures of other types, including neural ‐system variables, to clarify coherent processes contributing to the hierarchical structure of psychopathology. However, systematic strategies for interfacing HiTOP dimensions with neural‐system variables have not been put forth. We discuss reasons for considering neurobiological systems in rela tion to HiTOP (i.e. ‘why...

Maximizing the applied value of structural models of psychopathology: Introduction to a special issue of Personality and Mental Health
AbstractStructural models of mental illness delineate the major phenotypic dimensions of psychopathology. These evidence ‐based models, such as the Hierarchical Taxonomy of Psychopathology, are poised to supplement—and even supplant—categorical diagnostic systems in research, assessment and treatment arenas. This special issue ofPersonality and Mental Health explores a new wave of research into structural models' utility for theory testing and clinical practice. Can structural approaches advance etiological research by clarifying connections between psychopathology and social, cultural, psychological and biological v...

Social role dysfunction and coping in borderline personality disorder
This study sought to explore these variables via moderated mediation, investigating the mediating influence of coping styles on the association between BPD symptoms and social role dysfunction and if these associations were further moderated by gender. Participants (N = 233) were outpatients attending a programme for personality dysfunction. Participants completed measures of BPD symptoms, coping styles and social role dysfunction. Moderated mediation indicated that for women, emotion‐oriented coping and social diversion‐oriented coping mediated the associ ation between BPD symptoms and social dysfunction. While BPD ...

The moderating role of dissociation in the relation between borderline features and factors of self ‐injury in adolescents
ConclusionHigher levels of dissociation were associated with more engagement with suicidal thoughts but did not necessarily contribute to SIB. Further research into differential patterns of association of self ‐injury in patients with BPD may investigate other models where dissociation may more strongly factor into outcomes. © 2020 John Wiley& Sons, Ltd.

Parameters of reported childhood sexual abuse and assault in adolescents and adults with borderline personality disorder
ConclusionsTaken together, these results suggest that adults with BPD are more likely to report childhood sexual abuse/assault than adolescents with BPD. Additionally, adults report histories of sexual abuse/assault that are more severe than adolescents with BPD, with specific differences observed in timing, frequency, duration and perpetrator. © 2020 John Wiley& Sons, Ltd.

Examining the predictive association of irritability with borderline personality disorder in a clinical sample of female adolescents
ConclusionIrritability is a highly sensitive screening item for BPD in adolescents. The absence of irritability in an adolescent may be an important clinical tool to rule out BPD. © 2020 John Wiley& Sons, Ltd. (Source: Personality and Mental Health)

Support, interventions and outcomes for families/carers of people with borderline personality disorder: A systematic review
AbstractIt is clear from existent literature that families and carers of relatives and friends with borderline personality disorder (BPD) experience high levels of burden. Whilst family interventions are considered vital to improving the outcomes of those with a range of mental health difficulties, there has been limited development of direct interventions for carers of people with BPD, despite a high level of need. This systematic review aimed to appraise and synthesize the existing research evidence for interventions for carers of people with BPD. Ten studies were included that were directly related to six interventions ...
