Abstract

ICD-11 Personality Disorder: The Indispensable Turn to Narrative Identity.

Highlights

Specialty section: This article was submitted to Psychopathology, a section of the journal Frontiers in Psychiatry
A recent systematic review [see [10]] based on the last decade’s studies on personality disorders (PD) and narrative identity indicates that a disturbed autobiographical reasoning in people manifesting PD could play a key role in inducing a more incoherent temporal sense of self [i.e., chronological, cultural, causal, and thematic; [8]]
Narrative Identity as a Marker of Self-Function in ICD-11 In ICD-11, aspects of self-function are evaluated on a severity scale when conceptualizing and diagnosing PD
