Personality Disorders:Video Playlist and DSM Description


Image source - http://unitycounsellingservice.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/RDHTTVOV12_P111.jpg
Note the link of the video playlist below was uploaded in 2009, before the DSM 5 publication. So largely what is being discussed are those of  DSM4-TR.

 


Personality Disorders & DSM 4

Personality disorders are a class of mental disorders characterized by enduring maladaptive patterns of behavior, cognition and inner experience, exhibited across many contexts and deviating markedly from those accepted by the individual's culture. These patterns develop early, are inflexible and are associated with significant distress or disability.[1] The definitions may vary some according to other sources.[2][3]

Official criteria for diagnosing personality disorders are listed in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, published by the American Psychiatric Association, and in the mental and behavioral disorders section of the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, published by the World Health Organization. The DSM-5 published in 2013 now lists personality disorders in exactly the same way as other mental disorders, rather than on a separate 'axis' as previously.[4]

The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (currently the DSM-5) provides a definition of a General personality disorder that stress such disorders are an enduring and inflexible pattern of long duration that lead to significant distress or impairment and are not due to use of substances or another medical condition. DSM-5 lists ten personality disorders, grouped into three clusters. The DSM-5 also contains three diagnoses for personality patterns that do not match these ten disorders, but nevertheless exhibit characteristics of a personality disorder.[18]

Cluster A (odd disorders)

Cluster B (dramatic, emotional or erratic disorders)

Cluster C (anxious or fearful disorders)

Other personality disorders

  • Personality change due to another medical condition – is a personality disturbance due to the direct effects of a medical condition
  • Other specified personality disorder – symptoms characteristic of a personality disorder but fails to meet the criteria for a specific disorder, with the reason given
  • Personality disorder not otherwise specified


Signs and symptoms

In the workplace

Depending on the diagnosis, severity and individual, and the job itself, personality disorders can be associated with difficulty coping with work or the workplace - potentially leading to problems with others by interfering with interpersonal relationships. Indirect effects also play a role; for example, impaired educational progress or complications outside of work, such as substance abuse and co-morbid mental diseases, can plague sufferers. However, personality disorders can also bring about above-average work abilities by increasing competitive drive or causing the sufferer to exploit his or her co-workers.[41][42]
In 2005, psychologists Belinda Board and Katarina Fritzon at the University of Surrey, UK, interviewed and gave personality tests to high-level British executives and compared their profiles with those of criminal psychiatric patients at Broadmoor Hospital in the UK. They found that three out of eleven personality disorders were actually more common in executives than in the disturbed criminals:
According to leading leadership academic Manfred F.R. Kets de Vries, it seems almost inevitable these days that there will be some personality disorders in a senior management team.[44]

Relationship with other mental disorders

The disorders in each of the three clusters may share some underlying common vulnerability factors involving cognition, affect and impulse control, and behavioral maintenance or inhibition, respectively, and may have a spectrum relationship to certain syndromal mental disorders:[45]

Diagnosis

The DSM-IV lists General diagnostic criteria for a personality disorder, which must be met in addition to the specific criteria for a particular named personality disorder. This requires that there be (to paraphrase):[46]
  • An enduring pattern of psychological experience and behavior that differs prominently from cultural expectations, as shown in two or more of: cognition (i.e. perceiving and interpreting the self, other people or events); affect (i.e. the range, intensity, lability, and appropriateness of emotional response); interpersonal functioning; or impulse control.
  • The pattern must appear inflexible and pervasive across a wide range of situations, and lead to clinically significant distress or impairment in important areas of functioning.
  • The pattern must be stable and long-lasting, have started as early as at least adolescence or early adulthood.
  • The pattern must not be better accounted for as a manifestation of another mental disorder, or to the direct physiological effects of a substance (e.g. drug or medication) or a general medical condition (e.g. head trauma).
The ICD-10 'clinical descriptions and diagnostic guidelines' introduces its specific personality disorder diagnoses with some general guideline criteria that are similar. To quote:[47]
  • Markedly disharmonious attitudes and behavior, generally involving several areas of functioning; e.g. affectivity, arousal, impulse control, ways of perceiving and thinking, and style of relating to others;
  • The abnormal behavior pattern is enduring, of long standing, and not limited to episodes of mental illness;
  • The abnormal behavior pattern is pervasive and clearly maladaptive to a broad range of personal and social situations;
  • The above manifestations always appear during childhood or adolescence and continue into adulthood;
  • The disorder leads to considerable personal distress but this may only become apparent late in its course;
  • The disorder is usually, but not invariably, associated with significant problems in occupational and social performance.
The ICD adds: "For different cultures it may be necessary to develop specific sets of criteria with regard to social norms, rules and obligations."

Personality Disorders & DSM 5

Personality disorders are associated with ways of thinking and feeling about oneself and others that
significantly and adversely affect how an individual functions in many aspects of life. They fall within
10 distinct types: paranoid personality disorder, schizoid personality disorder, schizotypal personality
disorder, antisocial personality disorder, borderline personality disorder, histrionic personality, narcissistic personality disorder, avoidant personality disorder, dependent personality disorder and obsessive-compulsive personality disorder.

DSM-5 moves from the multiaxial system to a new assessment that removes the arbitrary boundaries
between personality disorders and other mental disorders. A hybrid model that included evaluation of impairments in personality functioning (how an individual typically experiences himself or herself as well as others) plus five broad areas of pathological personality traits. Although this hybrid proposal was not accepted for DSM-5’s main manual, it is included in Section III for further study. Using this alternate methodology, clinicians would assess personality and diagnose a personality disorder based on an individual’s particular difficulties in personality functioning and on specific patterns of those pathological traits.

The hybrid methodology retains six personality disorder types:
• Borderline Personality Disorder
• Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder
• Avoidant Personality Disorder
• Schizotypal Personality Disorder
• Antisocial Personality Disorder
• Narcissistic Personality Disorder

Each type is defined by a specific pattern of impairments and traits. This approach also includes a diagnosis of Personality Disorder—Trait Specified (PD-TS) that could be made when a Personality Disorder is
considered present, but the criteria for a specific personality disorder are not fully met. For this diagnosis,
the clinician would note the severity of impairment in personality functioning and the problematic
personality trait(s). This hybrid dimensional-categorical model and its components seek to address existing issues with the categorical approach to personality disorders.

Symptom, Diagnosis and Dysfunction


symptom (from Greek σύμπτωμα, "accident, misfortune, that which befalls",[1] from συμπίπτω, "I befall", from συν- "together, with" and πίπτω, "I fall") is a departure from normal function or feeling which is noticed by a patient, indicating the presence of disease or abnormality. A symptom is subjective,[2] observed by the patient,[3] and cannot be measured directly,[4] whereas a sign is objectively observable. For example, paresthesia is a symptom (only the person experiencing it can directly observe their own tingling feeling), whereas erythema is a sign (anyone can confirm that the skin is redder than usual). Symptoms and signs are often nonspecific, but often combinations of them are at least suggestive of certain diagnoses.

Types of Symptoms 

1) Chronic, relapsing or remitting,  asymptomatic. 

2) Constitutional or general symptoms are those that are related to the systemic effects of a disease (e.g., fever, malaise, anorexia, and weight loss). They affect the entire body rather than a specific organ or location.

3) The terms "chief complaint", "presenting symptom", "iatrotropic symptom", or "presenting complaint" are used to describe the initial concern which brings a patient to a doctor. The symptom that ultimately leads to a diagnosis is called a "cardinal symptom".

4) Non-specific symptoms are those self-reported symptoms that do not indicate a specific disease process or involve an isolated body system. For example, fatigue is a feature of many acute and chronic medical conditions, whether physical or mental, and may be either a primary or secondary symptom. Fatigue is also a normal, healthy condition when experienced after exertion or at the end of a day.

5) Positive symptoms are symptoms that most individuals do not normally experience but are present in the disorder. It reflects an excess or distortion of normal functions (i.e., experiences and behaviours that have been added to a person’s normal way of functioning.[8] Examples are hallucinations, delusions, and bizarre behavior.[5]

6) Negative symptoms are functions that are normally found in healthy persons, but that are diminished or not present in affected persons. Thus, it is something that has disappeared from a person’s normal way of functioning.[8] Examples are social withdrawal, apathy, inability to experience pleasure and defects in attention control.[6]


Symptom versus Sign

A symptom can more simply be defined as any feature which is noticed by the patient. A sign is noticed by other people. It is not necessarily the nature of the sign or symptom which defines it, but who observes it.

A feature might be a sign or a symptom, or both, depending on the observer(s). For example, a skin rash may be noticed by either a healthcare professional as a sign, or by the patient as a symptom. When it is noticed by both, then the feature is both a sign and a symptom.

Some features, such as pain, can only be symptoms, because they cannot be directly observed by other people. Other features can only be signs, such as a blood cell count measured in a medical laboratory.



DIAGNOSIS

Diagnosis is the process of identifying a disorder by examining its signs and symptoms, an identification of a disorder by such a process (Oxford Dictionary of Psychology, 2009).

A diagnosis is a label to a set of symptoms that tend to occur with one another (Hoeksema).  

The diagnosis of a psychological disorder requires evaluation by a trained mental‐health professional and usually an interview, administration of a variety of personality tests (and in some cases, neuropsychological tests), and gathering of background (including medical) information about the individual. The mental‐health professional arrives at a diagnosis by comparing this information to that in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), which uses a system devised by the American Psychiatric Association to classify psychological disorders (http://www.cliffsnotes.com/sciences/psychology/psychology/abnormal-psychology/diagnosis-of-psychological-disorders).


DYSFUNCTION

Dysfunction means abnormality or deviation from the norms of social behavior in a way regarded as maladaptive or impaired. 

It is a deficit in the ability to perform tasks. It is often a result of effects of symptoms but there is not always a direct correlation (Cara and MacRae, 2005).

DSM5 Diagnostic Criteria and Coding

Image source - http://www.psychiatry.org/Image%20Library/Publications/DSM-5_3D.gif

From the list below there are 20 Diagnostic Criteria under the new DSM5 (2013). Which among the list would likely be included in the licensure exam? For us at TR Review we based our consideration from the Course Specifications provided by CHED which includes the following:


  • Disorders usually first diagnosed in infancy, childhood or adolescence                             
  • Cognitive Disorders                                                                                                      
  • Substance-related Disorders                                                                                                     
  • Schizophrenia and other Psychotic Disorders                                                                               
  • Mood Disorders                                                                                                                        
  • Anxiety Disorders                                                                                                                     
  • Dissociative Disorders                                                                                                              
  • Personality Disorders


Note:  we are not saying these will be the only topics (criteria) that  will be covered, but we suggest to give emphasis in your review. As future Psychometrician would you think these criteria will be useful? We think they are. 

But please do not limit yourself in learning only these criteria but also learn the rest of the criteria: the nuances, similarities and relatedness of some with the other criteria. We included in the description of each criteria a summary from wikipedia - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DSM-5

Diagnostic Criteria Coding






Important notes on the new DSM5:

To increase the utility to the clinician, the new version replaces the NOS (not otherwise specified) categories with two options: 

1) other specified disorder  - allows the clinician to specify the reason that the criteria for a specific disorder are not met

2) unspecified disorder - allows the clinician the option to forgo specification.

DSM-5 has discarded the multiaxial system of diagnosis (formerly Axis I, Axis II, Axis III), listing all disorders in Section II. It has replaced Axis IV with significant psychosocial and contextual features and dropped Axis V (Global Assessment of Functioning, known as GAF). The World Health Organization's (WHO) Disability Assessment Schedule is added to Section III (Emerging measures and models) under Assessment Measures, as a suggested, but not required, method to assess functioning.[3]
