An overview of the changes in the DSM-5 in the field of old age psychiatry is provided and the key points for clinical practice and elderly psychiatric care are identified.

Relating DSM-5 section II and section III personality disorder diagnostic classification systems to treatment planning.

The DSM-5 section III personality disorder criterion a in relation to both pathological and general personality traits.

The findings suggest that general and pathological traits functioned in nearly identical ways, as evidenced by the similar relations that they evinced with traditional DSM-5 personality disorder constructs.

An evaluation of DSM-5 Section III personality disorder Criterion A (impairment) in accounting for psychopathology.

Testing the role of Criterion A in the AMPD raised questions about whether the model may need revision moving forward, and multivariate regression analyses suggested that the traits account for substantially more unique variance in DSM-5 Section II PDs than does personality impairment.

Narcissistic personality disorder in DSM-5.

The new model was intended to be the official approach to the diagnosis of personality pathology in DSM-5, but was ultimately placed as an alternative in Section III for further study.

The future of personality disorders in DSM-V?

The findings by Rottman et al. underscore the need for any proposed revision of the approach to personality psychopathology in DSM to proceed with caution and with appropriate deference to its ultimate purposes, to increase clinical utility and thereby improve patient care.

Personality traits and the classification of mental disorders: toward a more complete integration in DSM-5 and an empirical model of psychopathology.

A broad review of the ways in which personality traits have proven useful in the description and conceptualization of personality disorders and other mental disorders, as well as in the prediction of key clinical phenomena is provided.

Can personality disorder experts recognize DSM-IV personality disorders from five-factor model descriptions of patient cases?

The results suggest that personality disorder expertise and familiarity with the Five-Factor Model are insufficient to correctly diagnose personality disorders using FFM profiles, and this insufficiency may prove unlikely to be attenuated with increased clinical familiarity.

Quantitative methods in psychiatric classification: the path forward is clear but complex: commentary on Krueger and Eaton (2010).

Krueger and Eaton have provided a trenchant argument for greater use of dimensional approaches in the classification of personality disorders in future iterations of the psychiatric nomenclature, and their explication of the importance of personality constructs in models of psychopathology more generally is commendably lucid.

Opinions of personality disorder experts regarding the DSM-IV personality disorders classification system.

A clear majority of the PD experts were dissatisfied with the current diagnostic system for PDs and felt that the DSM-IV's categorical system of PD diagnosis should be replaced.

Refining personality disorder diagnosis: integrating science and practice.

Diagnostic criterion sets should be expanded to better address the multiple domains of functioning inherent in the concept of personality and should more explicitly address patients' mental life or inner experience.

DSM axis II: personality disorders or adaptation disorders?

It is put forward an argument that personality disorders are disorders of adaptation, not of personality per se, as extreme personality traits are not ipso facto dysfunctional, and this reflects the real nature of the disorder more accurately.
