The Dimensions of Personality - John M. Oldham, MD (Recorded)

This presentation will focus on the dimensional nature of personality, emphasizing a continuum model from personality styles to personality disorders. The development of the Alternative Model for DSM-5 Personality Disorders will be described, reviewing the hybrid nature of the model that incorporates two dimensional components: 1) level of impairment in functioning, and 2) pathological personality trait domains and trait facets. The utility of the AMPD for routine clinical use will be discussed.
