Von der hinteren Coverseite

The Personality Inventory for DSM-5 (PID-5) was first released in 2012 as a measure of personality pathology domains and traits as described in the DSM-5 Alternative Model for Personality Disorders. In the ensuing years, interest in it—and research about it—has blossomed, especially because use of the PID-5 in assessment calls for a shift from attempting to match an individual's personal experience to preestablished categories to developing a profile unique to each patient's experiences and behaviors.

This concise book delves into the background of the PID-5 and the clinical and research guidance for its use. After reviewing the growing literature on the PID-5, the authors examine its validity in different populations, its role in different diagnostic systems, and special applications for its use. The appendix features norms for selected PID-5 scores and outlines their differences.

Of particular use for both clinical psychologists and research psychiatrists, Understanding the Personality Inventory for DSM-5 (PID-5) is an indispensable resource for all those interested in an individualized approach to the management and treatment of personality pathologies.
