title: Looking forward to the new personality disorder classification for DSM-5.
abstract: Comments on S. C. South and N. J. DeYoung's article (see record 2012-01744-001). This scholarly review provides an important perspective regarding how behavior genetic research can be used to inform the revision of personality disorders (PDs) during the transition from DSM-IV to DSM-5. Their review focuses on how well the extant literature can be used to support the June 2011 draft reformulation of the PD chapter in DSM-5. The review illustrates the challenges faced when evaluating a novel multifaceted proposal that has not been anticipated by existing research.
