The development of psychological disorders, which are characterized by deviant, maladaptive, and personally distressing behaviors, has been explored through several theoretical approaches.
Biological approach
The biological approach posits that internal, organic factors are the primary causes of such disorders. This perspective emphasizes brain structure and function, genetic predispositions, and neurotransmitter imbalances. For example, schizophrenia has been associated with both genetic...

Area of Science:

  • Psychiatry
  • Psychology
  • Mental Health

Background:

  • The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th Edition (DSM-5) includes both categorical personality disorders (PD) in Section II and an alternative dimensional model (AMPD) in Section III.
  • Previous research has not directly compared the explanatory power of these two models regarding psychosocial functioning.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th Edition (DSM-5) categorical personality disorders (PD) model with the alternative dimensional model of PD (AMPD) in explaining psychosocial functioning.
  • To assess the predictive utility of AMPD's core components (Criterion A and B) for psychosocial difficulties.

Main Methods:

  • A study involving 600 psychiatric outpatients and community residents at risk for PD pathology.
  • Comparison of the associations between the DSM-5 Section II categorical PD diagnoses and the AMPD with concurrent psychosocial functioning levels.
  • Analysis of incremental predictions from AMPD Criterion A (personality functioning impairment) and Criterion B (pathological traits).

Main Results:

  • The fully dimensional AMPD demonstrated stronger associations with psychosocial difficulties and explained a greater proportion of their variance compared to the categorical Section II PD model.
  • AMPD Criterion A and Criterion B incrementally predicted psychosocial functioning, showing roughly equal contributions with some unique predictive variance.
  • The six categorical PD diagnoses within the AMPD did not show stronger associations with psychosocial functioning compared to their corresponding Section II PD diagnoses.

Conclusions:

  • The alternative dimensional model of personality disorders (AMPD) shows greater utility in explaining psychosocial functioning compared to the current DSM-5 categorical system.
  • Findings support the continued development and potential integration of dimensional approaches in future personality disorder conceptualizations.
  • Direct comparative studies of diagnostic models are crucial for advancing the understanding and classification of personality disorders.
