Disorder Prototypes
• No clear-cut requirements for diagnosing a personality disorder– Disorders can be exhibited in different ways– People can exhibit characteristics of several
disorders at once

match a disorder prototype– Acknowledge the complexity of diagnosis, the
overlap of categories, and the heterogeneity within categories

• Biosocial learning model: the ways people focus on themselves or others, are active or passive, and primarily seek reward or avoid pain

Toward the DSM-V

Toward the DSM-V
• Ratings of 5 maladaptive personality traits– Negative affectivity– Detachment– Antagonism– Disinhibition– Psychoticism

normal personality lie along a continuum32

Toward the DSM-V
• New modes of diagnosis– Assess whether personality functioning is seriously
impaired– Assess whether a personality disorder is present– Assess degree of each of the maladaptive traits
33© 2013 W. W. Norton & Company, Inc.
![Page 34: PSY 239 401 CHAPTER 18 SLIDES](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062703/5550df15b4c905387d8b4617/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Personality and Disorder
• Pathologizing behaviors– Do all bad people have personality disorders?– Should we refrain from punishing socially
undesirable, illegal, or immoral behavior because people suffer from antisocial personality disorder?
– Describing behavior as the result of mental illness is too easy

Personality and Disorder
• Mental health– Pathologizing tells us almost nothing about the
nature of mental health– Improving mental health requires an
understanding of normal personality

![Page 36: PSY 239 401 CHAPTER 18 SLIDES](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062703/5550df15b4c905387d8b4617/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Personality and Disorder
• Labeling– The DSM labels are misleading– Can limit understanding– A label is not an explanation– Labels can be useful and are necessary
36© 2013 W. W. Norton & Company, Inc.
![Page 37: PSY 239 401 CHAPTER 18 SLIDES](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062703/5550df15b4c905387d8b4617/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Normal and Abnormal
• There is not a sharp dividing line.• Having a mild degree of a few characteristics
does not imply having a disorder.• Disorders may be thought of as exaggerated
versions of traits that are advantageous when in the normal range.– Vigilant, wary, a survivor: paranoid– Strong, willful, self-reliant: antisocial– Sensitive, quiet, a homebody: avoidant

Think About It
• It is generally good to be tolerant of individual differences and to accept people as they are. Is this wise in the case of someone with a personality disorder? Does this depend on which disorder the person has?
• What are the characteristics of a healthy personality?
