"The Personality Inventory for DSM-5 (PID-5) was first released in 2012 as a measure of personality pathology domains and traits as described in the DSM-5 Alternative Model for Personality Disorders. In the ensuing years, interest in it-and research about it-has blossomed, especially because use of the PID-5 in assessment calls for a shift from attempting to match an individual's personal experience to preestablished categories to developing a profile unique to each patient's experiences and behaviors. This concise guide delves into the background of the PID-5 and the clinical and research guidance for its use. Reviewing the growing literature on the PID-5, this volume examines its validity in different populations, its role in different diagnostic systems, and special applications for its use.
