I just reread that article/interview from my last post, and it seems the relevance of personality disorders may be more influential than I first realized.It will be interesting to see if the DSM is changed to reflect the growing clinical and researcher consensus about addressing the relevance of PDs.
"Now, most clinicians and researchers in personality disorders are saying it is time to move PDs to Axis I."
also from article:
So what do you think is likely to happen in DSM-V?
Its likely that personality disorders will be on Axis I. Moving disorders form Axis II to Axis I has happened before. When we went from DSM-III to III-R, the autism community wanted autism to be on Axis I, and so it was moved. Then, when
we went from DSM III-R to DSM-IV, the learning disorders community wanted learning disorders to go to Axis I, and we made that change. But the mental retardation community still liked the idea that MR was special, and they wanted it to stay on Axis II. Now, most clinicians and researchers in personality disorders are saying it is time to move PDs to Axis I.
