An Object Relations Model Perspective on the Alternative Model for Personality Disorders (DSM-5)
Year: 2020
Type: article
Abstract: The Alternative Model of DSM-5 combines dimensional ratings of self-functioning, interpersonal functioning, and traits with categorical classification. The object relations model has a long tradition pre-dating the Alternative Model and, in part, has been incorporated into the Alternative Model. The object relations model provides a theoretical background (generally missing in the Alternative Model) that enhances the clinical assessment of personality pathology and its relationship to treatment planning.
