Abstract:
The introduction of the ICD-11 ( International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems , 11th ed.) fundamentally changes the diagnostics of personality disorders. The following problems have resulted in the need to depart from the traditional typological notion of personality disorders: the categorical concept of personality disorders as defined by the ICD-10 ( International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems , 10th ed.) favors the stigmatization of those affected. This has contributed to an underuse of the diagnosis in clinical practice. In turn, when the diagnosis is assigned the prevalence of the personality disorder “not specified” is (too) high or there are high comorbidities between different personality disorders. This casts doubt on the reliability of personality disorders. In addition, follow-up treatment studies with promising results have challenged the justification of the time stability as required by the ICD-10. This article outlines the background for the revision of the conception of personality disorders in order to illustrate the current diagnostic procedure according to the ICD-11. The new conceptions on therapy planning and prognosis are then presented and the implications for forensic psychiatric assessment of criminal liability are discussed.
