Psychoanalytische en psychiatrische diagnostiek bij persoonlijkheidsstoornissen

Tijdschrift voor Psychoanalyse

Partager sur

A theoretical frame of reference for the psychoanalytical diagnosis for personality disorders is described, making it possible to place personality disorders on a spectrum between neurosis and psychosis. The application of this frame of reference to the descriptive categories of the DSM-IV Axis II achieves a double goal. From a psychoanalytical point of view, the different external appearances of a similar intrapsychic functioning become clear. From a psychiatric point of view, the description of the psychodynamic functioning behind the different DSM-IV Axis II categories adds depth to the descriptive approach.
