Challenges in diagnosing personality disorders: transitioning from categories to dimensions. Clinical case.

Abstract

This article discusses the features of categorical and dimensional approaches to diagnosing personality disorders. The application of the ICD-10 and ICD-11 classifications is demonstrated using a clinical case of a patient with a personality disorder with mixed dissociative symptoms. The advantages and disadvantages of both approaches are considered, as well as the need to implement validated tools for assessing the severity of personality disorders in clinical practice.
