ICD-11 Personality Disorders

Abstract

ICD-11 Personality Disorders: Assessment and Treatment bring together a fundamentally new framework of personality dysfunction that also applies to mental health issues in a broader sense. In the present volume, international experts provide a helpful overview of the diagnostic framework and demonstrate how it may be utilized in clinical practice, including assessment, treatment planning, psychoeducation, and a range of evidence-based psychotherapy approaches: dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), mentalization-based therapy (MBT), transference-focused therapy (TFP), cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), nidotherapy, intensive short-term dynamic psychotherapy (ISTDP), metacognitive interpersonal therapy (MIT), good psychiatric management (GPM), and schema therapy. The book also covers topics such as identity and agency, grandiosity, social cognition, emotion regulation, dissociation, psychotic-like features, psychopathy, and self-harm. The utility for adolescents, older people, co-occurring addiction, and forensic settings is also elucidated, along with implications for neurosciences, cross-cultural issues, health policy, and lived experience and recovery.
