TAXONOMY OF PERSONALITY DISORDERS: CONTRASTING THE DSM AND OBJECT RELATIONS APPROACHES
![Page 3: Tfp : Clinical assessment borderlinedisorders.com](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062310/56816688550346895dda3a97/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
1970s: Gunderson and Kernberg• Gunderson (Gunderson & Kolb, 1978): Collected clinical
descriptors manifested in the observable behavior of borderline patients; these would form the criteria for DSM-III (1980)
• Kernberg (1975): focused on the disturbed behaviors and the internal representations of self and others, suggesting these mental representations were identifiable, organized, and driving behavior
• In 1980, we began the investigation of TFP targeted to both the observable behaviors and the internal organization
![Page 4: Tfp : Clinical assessment borderlinedisorders.com](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062310/56816688550346895dda3a97/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Results of the Phenomenological Approach
• Search for the organization behind the 8-9 trait-like criteria in DSM
• Heterogeneity among those who met the criteria for the disorder
• Confused and unclear phenotype disrupts the search for underlying neurobiological factors
![Page 5: Tfp : Clinical assessment borderlinedisorders.com](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062310/56816688550346895dda3a97/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Ideas Behind the Development of DSM-5
• Notable difficulties with DSM-IV: heterogeneity within the PD diagnosis; rampant PD comorbidity; reliability but little validity
• Hyman(2011): • Too much emphasis on categories• Genes and neurobiology don’t result in clear categories• …schizophrenia and bipolar disorder might better be
conceptualized as interactions among continuous dimensions rather than well-bound categories
• Bring personality theory to bare on personality disorder diagnoses

PERSONALITY DISORDERS: A TAXONOMY BASED ON THE OBJECT RELATIONS UNDERSTANDING OF PERSONALITY
![Page 13: Tfp : Clinical assessment borderlinedisorders.com](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062310/56816688550346895dda3a97/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Descriptive Features of Personality Disorder
Personality Disorders in general are distortions of normal personality characterized by:
• Rigidity or loss of flexibility of behavior patterns, resulting in poor adaptation
• Inhibition of normal behaviors• Exaggeration of certain behaviors• Chaotic alternation between inhibitory and impulsive
behavior patterns• Vicious circles develop: abnormal behaviors elicit
abnormal responses
![Page 14: Tfp : Clinical assessment borderlinedisorders.com](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062310/56816688550346895dda3a97/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Consequences of Personality Disorders:
- A reduction in the capacity to adapt to the psychosocial environment and to satisfy internal psychological needs (e.g., self-affirmation, sexuality, and dependency).
- In turn, personality disorders tend to be re-enforced by the pathological responses that patients elicit in their environment.

Borderline Personality Organization: Clinical Implications
• Nonspecific ego weakness• Lack of impulse control, anxiety tolerance
• Disturbed object relations• Difficulties with work and love• Sexual pathology (Two levels: inhibition of all sexual
functioning; chaotic sexuality)• Pathology of moral functioning

• Patients with personality pathology suffer from an internal structure that results in difficulties in work, friendships, and intimate relations
• Treatment structure is essential in the treatment of personality pathology, especially in mid to severe ranges of personality pathology

• The human individual is organized at multiple levels
• Personality is an organization which enables the individual to function
• Personality organization enables the individual to function in the interpersonal sphere
• Treatment choice is guided by personality organization, not simply by symptoms or conflicts (see Kernberg & Caligor, 2004)

Personality Organization
Figure 1Relationship between familiar, prototypic, personality types and structural diagnosis. Severity ranges from mildest, at the top of the page, to extremely severe at the bottom. Arrows indicate range of severity. *We include avoidant personality disorder in deference to the DSM. However, in our clinical experience, patients who have been diagnosed with avoidant personality disorder ultimately prove to have another personality disorder that accounts for avoidant pathology. As a result, we question the existence of avoidant personality as a clinical entity. This is a controversial question deserving further study.

Structural Interview (Kernberg, 1984)
• Focus on the patient’s thinking and functioning in the present time
• Begins with standard questions:• What brings you here?• What are your current difficulties?• What do you expect from treatment?• In general, where are you now?
• Key questions assessing representations of self and others:• Describe yourself as a unique individual• Describe a significant other in detail
• Interviewer’s stance: therapeutic neutrality• Sequential use of clarification, confrontation, beginning
interpretations
