This is an interesting article about the change in personality disorder criteria in the DSM V. I'm still not sure what to think about the "dimensional approach" and am willing to keep open minded to both sides of the argument. However, I have to admit that I don't think it's such a bad idea. After all, think about how many patients we see that don't fit a cookie cutter description in the DSM, and yet you know they have an illness that is impairing function.
I'd be curious what others think.
