The adolescent has a very unstable and incoherent picture of herself (I have no idea who I am, I only go to school and wait for the next day), her identity is severely disturbed (no capacity to be alone, suggestible, no differentiation from others without feeling alone, self- description is empty and only related to what her boyfriend or mother does, no perspective).

If not, is a Personality Disorder - Trait Specified (PD-TS) present? Please enable it to take advantage of the complete set of features! For the use of such definition in an adolescent population one has to be quite critical about this low threshold, because the counterpart of a low beta-error is a high alpha-error, or in clinical terms: with such a low threshold there is a substantial chance to give a diagnosis of personality disorder to an adolescent that doesnt have the disorder (false positive).

If neither a specific PD type nor PD-TS is present, evaluate the trait domains and/or the trait facets, if these are relevant and helpful in the case conceptualization. Pathological personality traits are assessed in five broad domains which are divided into 25 trait facets. Borderline Personal Disord Emot Dysregul.

The impairments in personality functioning and the individuals personality trait expression are relatively stable across time, with onsets that can be traced back to at least adolescence or early adulthood. However, as is described in the alternative DSM-5 classification, identity diffusion is not only a core symptom of Borderline Personality Disorder, but is one of the central features of all personality disorders. As an example the trait-based description of the borderline personality disorder is given here: Pathological personality traits in the following domains: Emotional lability: Unstable emotional experiences and frequent mood changes; emotions that are easily aroused, intense, and/or out of proportion to events and circumstances.

With the new Levels of Personality Functioning Scale (Table1) five levels of impairment can be differentiated on a continuum of severity ranging from no impairment (level 0) to extreme impairment (level 4). His basic assumption is that due to innate predispositions to aggression and/or adverse childhood experiences, internalized aspects of the self and significant others are not integrated into whole (integrated positive and negative) internal images (representations) of the self and significant others [19]. In 1998, shortly before the fall of the wall in Berlin, they left the GDR.

Part of During the development of the current revision of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) [8], that has been published in May 2013, there was discussion to change the classification of personality disorders (PD) from that in the DSM-IV-TR. The DSM-5 Personality and Personality Disorders Work Group formulated a hybrid dimensional/categorical model that represented personality disorders as combinations of core impairments in personality functioning with specific configurations of problematic personality traits.

All proposed changes, including the new trait-specific methodology, were moved to a separate area of the DSM-5 Section III titled Alternative DSM-5 Model for Personality Disorders (8), where proposals were placed that require further research. Along with the higher acceptance of PD diagnoses in adolescents in the last decade there is substantial progress of specific psychotherapies for adolescents by adapting approaches that had been developed for adult populations. If so, rate the level of impairment in self and interpersonal functioning on the Levels of Personality Functioning Scale. This was after a history of suicidal ideation since primary school, when she left little notes all over the flat in which she wrote, I do not want to live anymore. The major focus of the proposed revision was on the introduction of a dimensional model to the assessment and understanding of personality disorders, parallel to the dimensional models of normal personality that are widely accepted. Already before publication DSM-5 in general has been under severe debate as it is judged as the bible of psychiatry that defines the boundary between normality and mental illness [40]. Identity crisis is a period of lack of correspondence between the view of the adolescent by his immediate environment derived from the past, in contrast to the adolescents relatively rapid changing self-experience that, at least transitorily, no longer corresponds to others view of him or her [35]. At this time, it was also reported that he had an obsession with food and eating. The new psychotherapeutic approach Adolescent Identity Treatment (AIT); [15, 39] has been developed to place identity pathology in the focus of treatment.

The Article processing charge (APC) of this manuscript has been funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG). While the definition in section II refers to clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning ([8]; p. 646), the authors of the alternative model in section III define as main general criterion (A) moderate or greater impairment in personality (self/interpersonal) functioning ([8]; p. 761).

Clinically, this state of identity diffusion leads to severe difficulties in describing oneself and others as well as problems in developing a sense of self with attitudes, interests, and life goals that are stable and reliable over time. Therefore it will be essential to use the new system with prudence in order to not to enlarge the definition of pathology to such an extent that is neither acceptable for society in general, nor helpful for clinical diagnosis -especially for those who are at the edge between personality pathology and an extreme personal style that should be accepted as part of human nature.

In addition, the diagnosis of PD can only be made if pathological personality traits are present in at least one of five broad domains: negative affectivity, detachment, antagonism, disinhibition vs. compulsivity, and psychoticism. I have very contradictory feelings about myself [34]. The changes that were intended to be made in the personality disorders diagnoses in comparison to DSM-IV were remarkable and covered many areas. We will now illustrate the relevance of the diagnostic criterion of identity pathology by means of two case vignettes of adolescent patients that are classified according to DSM-5. As can be seen in the clinical description, this boy has significant impairments in the areas of self (problems in identity integration, integrity of self-concept and self-directedness) and interpersonal (problems in empathy, intimacy and cooperativeness, and a lack of complexity and integration of representations of others). For example, within the domain of disinhibition vs. compulsivity the particular pattern of facets, including irresponsibility (e.g. If a PD is present and a detailed personality profile is desired and would be helpful in the case conceptualization, evaluate the trait facets.
