Summary

The International Classification of Diseases-11 (ICD-11) will shift from categorical personality disorder diagnoses to a dimensional model. This new approach uses severity levels and trait domains for a more nuanced understanding.

Area of Science:

  • Psychiatry
  • Mental Health Classification
  • Diagnostic Systems

Background:

  • The current ICD-10 classification for personality disorders is based on distinct diagnostic categories.
  • The World Health Organization (WHO) has led a significant revision process for personality disorder conceptualization.
  • Existing categorical systems may not fully capture the complexity and spectrum of personality pathology.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline the transition from the ICD-10 categorical system to the dimensional approach in ICD-11 for personality disorders.
  • To describe the proposed dimensional framework involving severity levels and trait domains.
  • To detail revisions made to the ICD-11 personality disorder framework by international societies.

Main Methods:

  • Review of the WHO-led development process for ICD-11 personality disorder classification.

  • Analysis of the shift from polythetic criteria lists to a dimensional model.
  • Examination of revised drafts incorporating operationalized severity levels and trait domains.

    • Main Results:

    • The ICD-11 will replace the categorical classification of personality disorders with a dimensional model.
    • This new model differentiates three severity levels and five trait domains for personality disorders.
    • Revised drafts operationalize severity levels by detailing functional impairments and symptom presentations.

    Conclusions:

    • The ICD-11 represents a fundamental change in conceptualizing personality disorders, moving towards a dimensional framework.
    • The revised dimensional approach offers a more systematic and comprehensive assessment of personality pathology.
    • This evolution aims to improve diagnostic accuracy and clinical utility in understanding personality disorders.
