Description

This episode looks at the practical assessment of personality. We explore the nuances of psychiatric diagnosis, moving beyond simplistic heuristics with a focus on the DSM-5's Alternative Model for Personality Disorders. Learn about assessing self-functioning (identity, self-direction) and interpersonal functioning, using clinical interviewing, psychosocial history, and even your countertransference as vital tools for a more comprehensive understanding of personality pathology in busy clinical settings.
