taxonomy. Participation is voluntary.

Which Taxonomic Organization for Mental and Behavioral Science?

Like a Biological Organization? Like a Periodic Table?

The term “Diagnosis” is derived from Greek - meaning a distinguishing, to perceive, to know thoroughly.

What is Missing?

In 1854, after a major outbreak of cholera struck London, John Snow, a physician, linked the outbreak to contaminated water from this hand pump

on Broadwick Street. He removed the handle and stopped the epidemic.

Reasons for a mental health taxonomy

• Ethical and humanistic dilemmas with diagnosing personality

• Nosologies: Different ways to characterize disease

• Different nosologies for different folks• Risk managements issues• Need for a personality-based taxonomy that

informs psychological treatments

Start with a good diagnostic formulation

“Once I have a good feel for the person, the work is going well, I stop thinking diagnostically and simply immerse myself in the unique relationship that unfolds between me and the client…one can throw away the book and savor individual uniqueness.”

Nancy McWilliams (2011) Psychoanalytic Diagnosis: Understanding Personality Structure in the Clinical Process, Second Edition.

Main Reasons for Diagnosing

1. Its usefulness for treatment planning. “Understanding character styles help the therapist be more careful with boundaries with a histrionic patient, more pursuant of the flat affect with the obsessional person, and more tolerant of silence with a schizoid client.”

2. Its implications for prognosis. “Realistic goals protect patients from demoralization and therapists from burnout.”

Why Diagnose?3. Its value in enabling the therapist to convey empathy. Once one knows that a depressed patient also has aBorderline, rather neurotic level personality structure, thetherapist will not be surprised if during the second year oftreatment she makes a suicide gesture. Or, once a borderline client starts to have hope of real

change, that he often panics and flirts with suicide in an effort to protect himself from traumatic disappointment.

Why Diagnose?

4. Its role in reducing the probability that certain easily-frightened people will flee from treatment: It is helpful for the therapist to communicate to hypomanic or counter-dependent patients an understanding of how hard it may be for them to stay in therapy.

Why Diagnose?

5. Its value in risk management: Often therapists mistakenly used a presenting symptom as the only diagnosis and missed the borderline level of personality or psychopathic personality and got into trouble.

6. Its value in process and outcome research.

Ethical Standard in rendering diagnostic opinionsBy Dr. Stephen Behnke, APA Ethics Director

• A good starting point is to reflect upon our values as psychologists and to consider the significance of rendering a diagnosis.

• Principle A, Beneficence and Nonmaleficence, exhorts

psychologists "to benefit those with whom they work and take care to do no harm.”

• Promoting welfare and safeguarding from harm are thus values

central to our profession. Rendering a diagnosis has direct relevance to each.

Diagnoses, record reviews and the new Ethics Code, Ethical Standard 9.01 guides psychologists in rendering diagnostic opinions.By Dr. Stephen Behnke, APA Ethics Director January 2005, Vol 36, No.1

Rendering Diagnoses

“In few areas of practice does a psychologist exercise greater authority and influence than to render a diagnosis, for in so doing the psychologist comes to know and convey information that may profoundly affect that individual's life.”

Implications of a Diagnosis: Clinical, Personal and Social

“In the clinical context, a diagnosis reveals the nature of an illness. A correct diagnosis provides a basis for effective treatment. An incorrect diagnosis may delay or impede effective treatment or even

exacerbate a situation by inviting inappropriate treatment. A diagnosis has personal significance insofar as it can become central to

how a person experiences him- or herself. While a correct diagnosis of a severe disorder can be enormously

difficult to integrate into one's sense of self, an incorrect diagnosis can be crippling.

A diagnosis is also a label to which others respond and thus has profound social implications. Social judgments are made in response to a diagnosis of mental illness, and diagnoses can play an important role in awarding entitlements and determining placement.

Throw Away Occam’s Razor (law of parsimony)

•Clinicians should follow the general rule of recording as many diagnoses as are necessary to cover the clinical picture.

•Hickam's Dictum: "Patients can have as many diseases as they damn well please." John Hickam, MD.

•When recording more than one diagnosis, it is usually best to give the main diagnosis, and to label any others as subsidiary or additional diagnoses.

Risk Factors in Litigious Patients

Borderline Personality OrganizationPsychopathic traits

History of acting out

“I have often served as an expert witness in malpractice cases where psychologists had missed the psychopathic or borderline traits in patients.

The DSM classifies antisocial and borderline personality disorders by precise and narrow symptoms. This is often misleading. Psychopathy can be a complex personality pattern that combines with or is obscured by other personality patterns, and borderline can be viewed as an entire level of personality organization that can be applied to the various personality disorders.”

Gordon, R.M., (2007) PDM Valuable in Identifying High-Risk Patients. The National Psychologist, 16, 6, November/December, page 4.

Which Diagnostic Taxonomy Should We Use?

• DSM-5?• ICD-10?• PDM?

• The DSM-5 May 2013.• Research started in 1999.• The DSM makes the American Psychiatric

Association over $5 million a year, historically adding up to over $100 million.

DSM-5 Moves from Multi-axial system to a similar ICD-10 System

Main DSM-5 Categories • Neurodevelopmental Disorders• Schizophrenia Spectrum and Other Psychotic Disorders• Bipolar and Related Disorders• Depressive Disorders• Anxiety Disorders• Obsessive-Compulsive and Related Disorders• Trauma and Stressor Related Disorders• Dissociative Disorders• Somatic Symptom Disorders• Feeding and Eating Disorders• Elimination Disorders• Sleep-Wake Disorders• Sexual Dysfunctions• Gender Dysphoria• Disruptive, Impulse Control, and Conduct Disorders• Substance Use and Addictive Disorders• Neurocognitive Disorders• Personality Disorders• Paraphilic Disorders• Other Disorders

DSM-5 has major reliability problems• Only 5 diagnoses achieved kappa levels of

agreement between 0.60-0.79. • The nine DSM-5 disorders in the kappa range of

0.40-0.59 previously would have been considered just plain poor, but DSM-5 puffs these up as "good.”

• Then DSM-5 calls “acceptable” 6 disorders that achieved unacceptable reliabilities with kappas of 0.20-0.39.

• Major Depressive Disorder and Generalized Anxiety Disorder were among those that achieved the unacceptable kappas in 0.20-0.39 range.

Originally proposed only 6 personality disorders and a complex trait system

The six specific types are as follows:• T 00 Borderline Personality Disorder• T 01 Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder• T 02 Avoidant Personality Disorder• T 03 Schizotypal Personality Disorder• T 04 Antisocial Personality Disorder (Dyssocial

Personality Disorder)• T 05 Narcissistic Personality Disorder• T 06 Personality Disorder Trait Specified

DSM5: T 04 Antisocial Personality Disorder

A. Significant impairments in personality functioning manifest by:1. Impairments in self functioning (a or b):

a. Identity: Ego-centrism; self-esteem derived from personal gain, power, or pleasure.

b. Self-direction: Goal-setting based on personal gratification; absence of prosocial internal standards associated with failure to conform to lawful or culturally normative ethical behavior.

2. Impairments in interpersonal functioning (a or b):a. Empathy: Lack of concern for feelings, needs, or suffering of

others; lack of remorse after hurting or mistreating another.b. Intimacy: Incapacity for mutually intimate relationships, as

exploitation is a primary means of relating to others, including by deceit and coercion; use of dominance or intimidation to control others.

B. Pathological personality traits in the following domains:1. Antagonism, characterized by:

a. Manipulativeness b. Deceitfulness c. Callousness d. Hostility

Why Will DSM-5 Cost $199 a Copy?By Allen Frances, M.D. 1/24/13 Huffington Post

DSM-5 has just announced its price -- an incredible $199 • First, APA has sunk more than $25 million into DSM-5 and wants

to recoup as much of its investment as it can. • DSM-IV cost one fifth as much -- just $5 million -- of which half

came from external grants.• APA is probably counting on having captive buyers who are forced

to pay its price, however exorbitant it may be. • DSM-5 boycotts are sprouting up all over the place• The codes clinicians need for insurance purposes are available for

free on the internet• DSM-5 is so clunkily written, no teacher will ever want to assign it

to students• People are not likely to rush out to buy a ridiculously expensive

DSM-5 that has already been discredited as unsafe and scientifically unsound.

DSM-5 Is Guide Not Bible—Ignore Its Ten Worst ChangesBy Allen J. Frances, M.D. Psychology Today Dec 2 2012

• More than fifty mental health professional associations petitioned for an outside review of DSM-5 to provide an independent judgment of its supporting evidence and to evaluate the balance between its risks and benefits. Professional journals, the press, and the public also weighed in - expressing widespread astonishment about decisions that sometimes seemed not only to lack scientific support but also to defy common sense.

• Fortunately, some of its most egregiously risky and unsupportable proposals were eventually dropped under great external pressure (most notably 'psychosis risk', mixed anxiety/depression, internet and sex addiction, rape as a mental disorder, 'hebephilia', cumbersome personality ratings, and sharply lowered thresholds for many existing disorders).

1) Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder will turn temper tantrums into a mental disorder.

2) Normal grief will become Major Depressive Disorder. 3) The everyday forgetting characteristic of old age will now be misdiagnosed as Minor Neurocognitive Disorder. 4) DSM 5 will likely trigger a fad of Adult Attention Deficit Disorder leading to widespread misuse of stimulant drugs for performance enhancement and recreation and contributing to the already large illegal secondary market in diverted prescription drugs. 5) Excessive eating 12 times in 3 months is no longer just a manifestation of gluttony but it is a psychiatric illness called Binge Eating Disorder.

6) The changes in the DSM-5 definition of Autism will result in lowered rates - perhaps by 50% according to outside research groups.

7) First time substance abusers will be lumped in definitionally in with hard core addicts despite their very different treatment needs and prognosis and the stigma this will cause. 8) Behavioral Addictions that eventually can spread to make a mental disorder of everything we like to do a lot. Watch out for careless overdiagnosis of internet and sex addiction and the development of lucrative treatment programs to exploit these new markets. 9) DSM-5 obscures the already fuzzy boundary been Generalized Anxiety Disorder and the worries of everyday life. 10) DSM-5 has opened the gate even further to the already existing problem of misdiagnosis of PTSD in forensic settings.

Attacks on DSM5

Neurodevelopmental Disorders

Intellectual Disability (Intellectual Developmental Disorder)• Diagnostic criteria for intellectual disability (intellectual

developmental disorder) emphasize the need for an assessment of both cognitive capacity (IQ) and adaptive functioning.

• Severity is determined by adaptive functioning rather than IQ score. Moreover, a federal statue in the United States (Public Law 111-256, Rosa’s Law) replaces the term “mental retardation” with intellectual disability.

• The term intellectual developmental disorder was placed in parentheses to reflect the ICD-11 (to be released in 2015).

Intellectual Disability (Intellectual Developmental Disorder)

• DSM-IV criteria had required an IQ score of 70 as the cutoff for diagnosis; the new criteria recommend IQ testing and describe “deficits in adaptive functioning that result in failure to meet developmental and sociocultural standards for personal independence and social responsibility.”

• The new criteria also include severity measures for mild, moderate, severe, and profound intellectual disability.

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

• Consolidation of DSM-IV criteria for autism, Asperger’s, childhood disintegrative disorder, and pervasive developmental disorder-not otherwise specific (PDD-NOS)—into one diagnostic category called autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

• The new criteria describe two principal symptoms: “deficits in social communication and social interaction” and “restrictive and repetitive behavior patterns”

Communication Disorders

The DSM-5 communication disorders include:• language disorder • speech sound disorder • childhood-onset fluency disorder (a new name

for stuttering)• social (pragmatic) communication disorder, a

new condition for persistent difficulties in the social uses of verbal and nonverbal communication.

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder

• The same 18 symptoms are used as in DSM-IV• the onset criterion has been changed from “symptoms

that caused impairment were present before age 7 years” to “several inattentive or hyperactive-impulsive symptoms were present prior to age 12”;

• subtypes have been replaced with presentation specifiers that map directly to the prior subtypes;

• a comorbid diagnosis with autism spectrum disorder is now allowed;

• a symptom threshold change has been made for adults with the cutoff for ADHD of five symptoms, instead of six required for younger persons,

Specific Learning Disorder

• Specific learning disorder combines the DSM-IV diagnoses of reading disorder, mathematics disorder, disorder of written expression, and learning disorder not otherwise specified. Because learning deficits in the areas of reading, written expression, and mathematics commonly occur together, coded specifiers for the deficit types in each area are included.

Schizophrenia Spectrum and Other Psychotic Disorders

• Schizophrenia• Elimination of the special attribution of bizarre

delusions and Schneiderian first-rank auditory hallucinations (e.g., two or more voices conversing).

• The second change is the addition of a requirement in Criterion A that the individual must have at least one of these three symptoms: delusions, hallucinations, and disorganized speech. At least one of these core “positive symptoms” is necessary for a reliable diagnosis of schizophrenia

Schizophrenia subtypes

• The DSM-IV subtypes of schizophrenia (i.e., paranoid, disorganized, catatonic, undifferentiated, and residual types) are eliminated due to their limited diagnostic stability, low reliability, and poor validity.

• Instead, a dimensional approach to rating severity for the core symptoms of schizophrenia.

Schizoaffective Disorder

• The primary change to schizoaffective disorder is the requirement that a major mood episode be present for a majority of the disorder’s total duration after Criterion A has been met.

• It makes schizoaffective disorder a longitudinal instead of a cross-sectional diagnosis—more comparable to schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and major depressive disorder, which are bridged by this condition.

Delusional Disorder

• Criterion A for delusional disorder no longer has the requirement that the delusions must be nonbizarre. A specifier for bizarre type delusions provides continuity with DSM-IV. The demarcation of delusional disorder from psychotic variants of obsessive-compulsive disorder and body dysmorphic disorder is explicitly noted with a new exclusion criterion, which states that the symptoms must not be better explained by conditions such as obsessive-compulsive or body dysmorphic disorder with absent insight/delusional beliefs.

Catatonia

• In DSM-5, catatonia may be diagnosed as a specifier for depressive, bipolar, and psychotic disorders

Bipolar and Related DisordersBipolar Disorders• Criterion A for manic and hypomanic episodes now includes an emphasis on

changes in activity and energy as well as mood. The DSM-IV diagnosis of bipolar I disorder, mixed episode, requiring that the individual simultaneously meet full criteria for both mania and major depressive episode, has been removed. Instead, a new specifier, “with mixed features,” has been added that can be applied to episodes of mania or hypomania when depressive features are present, and to episodes of depression in the context of major depressive disorder or bipolar disorder when features of mania/hypomania are present.

Other Specified Bipolar and Related Disorder• categorization for individuals with a past history of a major depressive disorder who

meet all criteria for hypomania except the duration criterion (i.e., at least 4 consecutive days). A second condition constituting an other specified bipolar and related disorder is that too few symptoms of hypomania are present to meet criteria for the full bipolar II syndrome, although the duration is sufficient at 4 or more days.

Anxious Distress Specifier• Added is a specifier for anxious distress. This specifier is intended to identify

patients with anxiety symptoms that are not part of the bipolar diagnostic criteria.

Depressive Disorders

• DSM-5 contains several new depressive disorders, including disruptive mood dysregulation disorder and premenstrual dysphoric disorder.

• To address concerns about potential overdiagnosis and overtreatment of bipolar disorder in children, a new diagnosis, disruptive mood dysregulation disorder, is included for children up to age 18 years who exhibit persistent irritability and frequent episodes of extreme behavioral dyscontrol.

• Finally, DSM-5 conceptualizes chronic forms of depression in a somewhat modified way. What was referred to as dysthymia in DSM-IV now falls under the category of persistent depressive disorder, which includes both chronic major depressive disorder and the previous dysthymic disorder.

Bereavement

• In DSM-IV, there was an exclusion criterion for a major depressive episode that was applied to depressive symptoms lasting less than 2 months following the death of a loved one (i.e., the bereavement exclusion). This exclusion is omitted in DSM-5. 1, to remove the implication that bereavement typically lasts only 2 months when both physicians and grief counselors recognize that the duration is more commonly 1–2 years. 2, bereavement is recognized as a severe psychosocial stressor that can precipitate a major depressive episode in a vulnerable individual, and an increased risk for persistent complex bereavement disorder, which is now in Conditions for Further Study in DSM-5 Section III. 3, bereavement-related major depression is most likely to occur in individuals with past personal and family histories of major depressive episodes. It is genetically influenced and is associated with similar personality characteristics, patterns of comorbidity, and risks of chronicity and/or recurrence as non–bereavement-related major depressive episodes

Anxiety Disorders

• The DSM-5 chapter on anxiety disorder no longer includes obsessive-compulsive disorder (which is included with the obsessive-compulsive and related disorders) or posttraumatic stress disorder and acute stress disorder (which is included with the trauma- and stressor-related disorders). However, the sequential order of these chapters in DSM-5 reflects the close relationships among them.

PTSD• The 3 clusters of DSM-IV symptoms will be divided

into 4 clusters in DSM-5: intrusion symptoms, avoidance symptoms, arousal/reactivity symptoms and negative mood and cognitions.

• Criterion A2 (requiring fear, helplessness or horror happen right after the trauma) will be removed.

• The diagnosis is proposed to move from the class of anxiety disorders into a new class of "trauma and stressor-related disorders."

• PTSD assessment measures, such as the CAPS and the PCL, are being revised by the National Center for PTSD to be made available upon the release of DSM-5.

Somatic Symptom and Related Disorders

The DSM-5 classification reduces the number of these disorders and subcategories. Diagnoses of somatization disorder, hypochondriasis, pain disorder, and undifferentiated somatoform disorder have been removed.

Parental Alienation Syndrome

• Parent-child relational problem "may include negative attributions of the other's intentions, hostility toward or scapegoating of the other, and unwarranted feelings of estrangement."

• Child psychological abuse "non-accidental verbal or symbolic acts by a child's parent or caregiver that result, or have reasonable potential to result, in significant psychological harm to the child.”

The International Classification of Diseases (ICD)

• The ICD is currently the most widely used statistical classification system for diseases in the world.

• This is in fact the official diagnostic system for mental disorders in the US.

• The ICD-10 was developed in 1992. • ICD-11 is currently being researched and

should be ready in 2015.

ICD History• The first international conference to revise the International

Classification of Causes of Death convened in 1900; with revisions occurring every ten-years thereafter.

• In 1948, the World Health Organization (WHO) assumed responsibility for preparing and publishing the revisions to the ICD every ten-years. WHO sponsored the seventh and eighth revisions in 1957 and 1968, respectively. It later become clear that the established ten-year interval between revisions was too short.

• The America Psychiatric Association has long lobbied against the use of the ICD (but due to federal law is forced to work with the ICD).

ICD is Required by HIPAA

• The deadline for the United States to begin using Clinical Modification ICD-10-Clinical Modification (CM) is currently October 1, 2014.

• The deadline was previously October 1, 2011. The transition to ICD-10 is required for everyone covered by the Health Insurance Portability Accountability Act (HIPAA), Medicare and Medicaid.

ICD-10 MENTAL AND BEHAVIOURAL DISORDERS consists of 10 main groups:

F0: Due to known physiological conditions F1: Due to use of psychoactive substances F2: Schizophrenia, schizotypal and delusional disorders F3: Mood [affective] disorders F4: Anxiety, dissociative, stress-related and somatoform

disorders F5: Behavioural syndromes associated with physiological

disturbances and physical factors F6: Disorders of personality and behaviour in adult persons F7: Intellectual disabilities F8: Pervasive and specific developmental disorders F9: Behavioural and emotional disorders with onset usually

occurring in childhood and adolescence In addition, a group of "unspecified mental disorders".

ICD-10 and Borderline

• “After initial hesitation, a brief description of borderline personality disorder (F60.31) was finally included as a subcategory of emotionally unstable personality disorder (F60.3), again in the hope of stimulating investigations.”

• The Borderline was added back into ICD-10

• F60.3 Emotionally unstable personality disorder marked tendency to act impulsively without consideration of the

consequences, together with affective instability. The ability to plan ahead may be minimal, and outbursts of intense anger may often lead to violence or "behavioral explosions";

• F60.30 Impulsive typeemotional instability and lack of impulse control, Outbursts of violence or threatening behavior are common, particularly in response to criticism by others.

• Includes: explosive and aggressive personality (disorder) Excludes: dissocial personality disorder (F60.2)

• F60.31 Borderline typethe patient's own self-image, aims, and internal preferences (including sexual) are often unclear or disturbed. There are usually chronic feelings of emptiness; intense and unstable relationships may cause repeated emotional crises and may be associated with excessive efforts to avoid abandonment and a series of suicidal threats or acts of self-harm (although these may occur without obvious precipitants).

• Includes: borderline personality (disorder)

ICD-11 Survey Overview

• 2155 global psychologists participated in the WHO and International Union of Psychological Sciences (IUPsyS)

• Recruited through 23 IUPsyS member national psychological associations in 23 countries

• 10 low and middle-income countries

• Administered in 5 languages (English, Spanish, French, German, Turkish)

• Parallel to survey conducted by WHO and World Psychiatric Association (WPA) of 4887 psychiatrists in 44 countries

ICD-11 2015

• ICD-11 will draw on research about how clinicians conceptualize mental disorders in hopes of creating a more intuitive and psychological classification system.

• ICD-11 will be available for free on the Internet (ICD-9 and 10 apps are free).

DSM-5 Schizotypal Personality Disorder

The only two non-US members of the DSM-5 Personality Disorders Work group (Roel Verheul and John Livesley) resigned in April 2012:

“First, the proposed classification is unnecessarily complex, incoherent, and inconsistent. … Second, the proposal displays a truly stunning disregard for evidence.

The current proposal represents the worst possible outcome: it displays almost total discontinuity with DSM-IV while failing to improve validity and clinical utility of the classification.”

A diagnostic framework that attempts to characterize the whole person--the depth

as well as the surface of emotional, cognitive, and social functioning; from

healthy to disturbed in a mixed categorical -dimensional system

The New York Times Book ReviewFor Therapy, a New Guide With a Touch of

Personality January 24, 2006 By BENEDICT CAREY

• The encyclopedia of mental disorders known as the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual is built on a principle that many therapists find simplistic: that people's symptoms are the most reliable way to classify their mental troubles.

The New York Times Book Review• The most striking proposal in the new manual

is its insistence that personality be evaluated first, and symptoms considered secondary.

• The first section of the book describes 14 different personality patterns. It also restores others that were dropped from recent editions of the DSM, like sadistic, masochistic and passive-aggressive personality patterns.

• "The DSM is a taxonomy of diseases or disorders of function. Ours is a taxonomy of people,“ the new manual declares.

• Improvements in the diagnosis and treatment of mental disorders that will permit a fuller understanding of the functioning of the mind and brain and their development.

• The PDM is based on current neuroscience, treatment outcome research, and other empirical investigations. Research on brain development and the maturation of mental processes suggests that patterns of emotional, social, and behavioral functioning involve many areas working together rather than in isolation.

Research Support

• Blatt, (this volume), Norcross (2002), Wampold (2001) have concluded that the nature of the psychotherapeutic relationship, reflecting interconnected aspects of mind and brain operating together in an interpersonal context, predicts outcome more robustly than any specific treatment approach per se. Westen, Novotny, and Thompson-Brenner (2004 and this volume) have presented evidence that treatments that focus on isolated symptoms or behaviors (rather than personality, emotional, and interpersonal patterns ) are not effective in sustaining even narrowly defined changes.

Psychodynamic Theory as a Complex Adaptive System- interaction, interdependence and diversity of constructs (temperament, affects, cognitions, development, traumas, defenses, fantasies, attachments), emergences (symptoms), tails (one event can move the entire central tendency) and tipping points (break downs).

Reactions to the PDM

• The PDM was introduced to 192 psychologists in a

several ethics and MMPI-2 workshops

• (65 Psychodynamic, 76 CBT and 51 Other)

• Over all the psychologists gave the PDM a 90%

favorable rating.

• Gordon, R.M. (2009). Reactions to the Psychodynamic Diagnostic Manual (PDM) by Psychodynamic, CBT and Other Non- Psychodynamic Psychologists. Issues in Psychoanalytic Psychology, 31,1, 55-62.

From Earliest Findings: Personality Organization is a Main Factor in Treatment Choice

1930 Fenichel, 1936 Jones, 1937 Alexander all reported substantial benefits with

psychoanalysis with the great majority of the neurotic patients, but found much lower improvement percentages in those diagnosed psychotic.

Kernberg (1983) stated that Borderline patients do

best with a special kind of psychoanalytic psychotherapy.

To the most recent: “The impact of level of personality organization on treatment response: a

systematic review.” (2012) • “Higher initial levels of PO are moderately to strongly

associated with better treatment outcome. • Level of PO may interact with the type of intervention

(i.e., interpretive versus supportive) in predicting treatment outcome...”

PDC’s Taxonomy: From Larger to Smaller Units

Clinical Example Using the PDC“Bana” is a 28 year old woman from Syria. Her husband was killed in the war and she has no children. Her brother was able to get her to the US this year. 1. Level of Personality Organization- is 7 (Neurotic Level). Her capacity scores are mainly in the 6-9 range. Her lowest rating is in Affect Tolerance (5) which may be due to her PTSD. She is a good candidate for PDT.2. Personality Patterns or Disorders- mainly Hysterical/Inhibited type at the Moderate level of severity (6) with some obsessional and dependent features.3. Mental Functioning- most of the 9 capacities are in the high range. She has a masters in education, her marriage was good, she has average self esteem, she can go from inhibited to overly excited expression of affect, her favored defenses are repression and intellectualization, she has a warm relationship with her mother and both sets of grandparents, her father was killed when she was a child, good level of differentiation and integration, very insightful and excellent moral reasoning. 4. Manifest Symptoms- ICD-10: (F43.1) Post-traumatic stress disorder5. Cultural, Contextual Issues- recent death of husband, war trauma, loss of father, leaving much of her family and friends behind, immigration fears and guilt.

Testing Dimensional and CategoricalQualities of Personality Organization

• Hysteria scale and Schizophrenia scale correlate .01 with male sample and .15 with female sample.

They are independent representations of very different character structures.

• The Ego Strength scale measures responsiveness to psychotherapy. I found that the Es scale significantly increased (p<.001, Cohen’s d = .80) after an average of 3 years of PDT for 55 borderline patients (Gordon, 2001).

Testing Dimensional and CategoricalQualities of Personality Organization with 3 Scales

Psychotic Borderline Neurotic30

MMPI-2 Hysteria-Hy, Schizophrenia-Sc, and Ego Strength-Es Scales within the Psychotic, Borderline, and Neurotic Categories of the

Personality Organization ScalePsychotic (ratings 1-3, n = 13), Borderline (4-6, n = 52), and Neurotic (7-10, n = 33).

Psychotic: Sc >> Hy>> Es; Borderline: (Sc ~ Hy) >> Es; Neurotic: (Sc ~ Hy) > Es all in the average to moderate range.

Example of a Psychotic Level Personality: Schizotypal

• In ICD-10, Schizotypal disorder is classified as a clinical disorder associated with schizophrenia rather than a personality disorder as with DSM-IV and 5.

• It is not in the PDM.

Personality Organization Dimension: Summary

1. Practitioners want a parsimonious taxonomy that informs psychotherapy and management issues.

2. Practitioners consider personality organization a very important dimension in understanding their patients.

3. Research supports that personality organization predicts response to treatment and is sensitive to type of treatment (supportive vs. interpretive).

4. Research supports a psychotic level personality organization.

Psychodynamic Diagnostic Prototypes (PDP)

Francesco Gazzillo, PhDDepartment of Dynamic and Clinical Psychology

«Sapienza» University of Rome

PDP narrative description

P105.1 Intermediate Manifestation: Sadomasochistic Personality Disorders

Some individuals alternate between sadistic and sadomasochistic attitudes and behaviors (Kernberg, 1988). Patients with this psychology are much more emotionally alive and capable of attachment than those with primary psychopathic, narcissistic, or sadistic personality structures. Their relationships, however, are intense and explosive. Sometimes they let themselves be dominated to an extreme extent, and sometimes they viciously attack the person to whom they previously capitulated. They tend to see themselves as victims of others’ aggression whose only choices are to surrender their will entirely or to fight back belligerently. The “help-rejecting complainer” described by Frank and his colleagues (Frank, Margolin, Nash, Stone, Varon & Ascher, 1952) is one version of this psychology. In psychotherapy, such patients tend to alternate between attacking the therapist and feeling insulted and demeaned by him or her. Because sadomasochistic personality disorder is found at the borderline level of severity, treatment considerations include those for borderline patients generally.

countertransference issues4. How theoretical orientation affects value of

various taxa (PO, PD, MF, Symptoms, Context) 5. Which PD are commonly found at which level

of PO.

1. Level of Personality Structure

Please rate each capacity from 1 to 10; ratings range from Most Disturbed (1) to Most Healthy (10). 1. Identity: ability to view self in complex, stable, and accurate ways 2. Object Relations: ability to maintain intimate, stable, and satisfying relationships 3. Affect Tolerance: ability to experience the full range of age-expected affects4. Affect Regulation: ability to regulate impulses and affects with flexibility in

using defenses or coping strategies 5. Superego Integration: ability to use a consistent and mature moral sensibility 6. Reality Testing: ability to appreciate conventional notions of what is realistic 7. Ego Resilience: ability to respond to stress resourcefully and to recover

from painful events without undue difficulty

1. Level of Personality Structure- Rating Healthy Personality- characterized by 9-10 scores, life problems never get out of hand and enough flexibility to accommodate to challenging realities.

Neurotic Level- characterized by mainly 6-8 scores, rigidity and limited range of defenses and coping mechanisms, basically a good sense of identity, healthy intimacies, good reality testing, fair resiliency, fair affect tolerance and regulation, favors repression.

Borderline Level- characterized by mainly 3-5 scores, recurrent relational problems, difficulty with affect tolerance and regulation, poor impulse control, poor sense of identity, poor resiliency, favors primitive defenses such as denial, splitting and projective identification.

Psychotic Level- characterized by mainly 1-2 scores, delusional thinking, sometimes hallucinations, poor reality testing and mood regulation, extreme difficulty functioning in work and relationships. Overall Personality StructureBased on the 7 ratings above, rate person’s overall personality structure from 1 (Psychotic) to 10 (Healthy)

2. Personality Patterns or Disorders- Scoring

Review the P axis in the PDM for the

personality patterns most descriptive of your client (use the PDP).

Begin by checking off as many descriptors that apply. Then decide on the most dominant personality patterns or disorders, and the level of severity (1-10).

PDM Categories:

SchizoidParanoidPsychopathic (antisocial); Subtypes - passive/parasitic or aggressiveNarcissistic; Subtypes - arrogant/entitled or depressed/depleted;Sadistic (and intermediate manifestation, sadomasochistic)Masochistic (self-defeating); Subtypes - moral masochistic or relational masochisticDepressive; Subtypes - introjective or anaclitic; Converse manifestation - hypomanicSomatizingDependent (and passive-aggressive versions of dependent); Converse manifestation -

3. Mental Functioning

1. Capacity for Attention, Memory, Learning, and Intelligence 2. Capacity for Relationships and Intimacy (including depth, range, and consistency) 3. Quality of Internal Experience (level of confidence and self-regard) 4. Affective Comprehension, Expression, and Communication 5. Level of Defensive or Coping Patterns 1-2: Psychotic level (e.g., delusional projection, psychotic denial, psychotic distortion) 3-5: Borderline level (e.g., splitting, projective identification, idealization/devaluation,

denial, acting out) 6-8: Neurotic level (e.g., repression, reaction formation, rationalization,

displacement, undoing) 9-10: Healthy level (e.g., anticipation, sublimation, altruism, and humor)6. Capacity to Form Internal Representations (sense of self and others are realistic and

guiding)7. Capacity for Differentiation and Integration (self, others, time, internal experiences

and external reality are all well distinguished) 8. Self-Observing Capacity (psychological mindedness) 9. Realistic sense of Morality

4. ICD or DSM SYMPTOMS

Symptoms are considered in the context of: 1. level of personality structure, 2. personality pattern or disorder 3. mental functioning.

Here you may use the symptoms that may be the focus of the chief complaint and necessary for third party reimbursement.

5. Cultural, Contextual, and Other Relevant Considerations

This is a qualitative section where the practitioner may write how cultural or contextual factors contribute to symptoms.

Parents in Child Custody Evaluation

L+K-F GI

Figure 1: Mean T scores and standard deviations of parents' MMPI-2s from 158 court ordered child custody evaluations. T50 is an average score and T65 is high and clinically significant. L+K-F indicates splitting defenses and the Goldberg Index (L+Pa+Sc)-(Hy+Pt) indicates a borderline level of functioning and the favoring of primitive defenses such a projective identification. Parents who alienate their children from the other parent project their bad self onto the other parent and then treat that parent accordingly.
