About this title

Synopsis

The Structured Clinical Interview for the DSM-5 Alternative Model for Personality Disorders (SCID-5-AMPD) meets a timely need. The Alternative Model for Personality Disorders in DSM-5 has ushered in a consensus and an upswing in research that has shifted from a categorical diagnosis of personality disorders toward a dimensional approach. Before now, no interview-based procedure has been available for applying the Alternative Model.

Expertly designed, the SCID-5-AMPD is a semistructured diagnostic interview that guides clear assessment of the defining DSM-5 Alternative Model components. The modular format of the SCID-5-AMPD allows the researcher or clinician to focus on those aspects of the Alternative Model of most interest. Each component is available individually or in customized sets:

- The User's Guide for the SCID-5-AMPD is essential for the effective use of any SCID-5-AMPD module. It provides instructions for each module and completed samples of all modules in entirety, with corresponding sample patient cases and commentary. - Module I is devoted to the dimensional assessment of self and interpersonal functioning using the Level of Personality Functioning Scale. It provides both a global functioning score and an innovative, detailed assessment of each domain of functioning.- Module II focuses on the dimensional assessment of the five pathological personality trait domains in the Alternative Model and their corresponding 25 trait facets. It provides an assessment of the balance of these specific pathological traits within an individual. - Module III is a comprehensive assessment of each of the six specific personality disorders of the Alternative Model, as well as Personality Disorder--Trait-Specified. It also includes a global assessment of the level of personality functioning.

Trained clinicians with a basic knowledge of the concepts of personality and personality psychopathology will benefit from the myriad applications and insights offered by the SCID-5-AMPD.
