Abstract

It is evident that the conceptualization, diagnosis, and classification of personality disorder are shifting toward a dimensional trait model and, more specifically, the five-factor model (FFM) in particular. The purpose of this article is to provide an overview of the FFM of personality disorder. It will begin with a description of this dimensional model of normal and abnormal personality functioning, along with a brief overview of its empirical support. This will be followed by a discussion of its potential advantages, as well as a comparison with Section III of DSM-5 for emerging models and measures.
