Personality Disorders
Excerpt
The uncertainties of what version of the personality disorders would appear in DSM-5 complicated preparation of this part of Treatments of Psychiatric Disorders (TPD). Until December 2012, the proposed omission of four personality disorders—schizoid, paranoid, histrionic, and dependent—seemed imminent. Because the proposed changes were disapproved by many clinical and research leaders within the personality disorder (PD) community and were subsequently disapproved by the American Psychiatric Association (APA)–appointed independent research and clinical review committees, the DSM-IV system has been retained. Hence, from that point of view, the current chapters have largely become outgrowths, updates, and revisions of the material found in earlier editions of TPD.
