Abstract

The review paper presents the differences between the ICD-10 and ICD-11 classification of personality disorders and discusses possible implications for clinical practice. Until ICD-10, classification and diagnosis were based on categories, which created problems in daily clinical practice. Many people with personality disorders do not have the characteristics of only one personality disorder. At the same time, the categories made it impossible to define whether the personality disorder was mild, moderate, or severe in terms of its impact on the person‘s life. The ICD-11 provides for a dimensional classification of personality disorders, which means that dimensions are used in terms of the impact on the person‘s life and in terms of individual characteristics that are defined as deviations causing problems. Keywords: personality disorders, classification, ICD-11, diagnosis, clinical work
