The Alternative Model of Personality Disorders: Assessment, Convergent and Discriminant Validity, and a Look to the Future

Luis F. García,
Fernando Gutiérrez,
Oscar García
et al.

Abstract: The Alternative Model of Personality Disorders (AMPD) is a dimensional, empirically based diagnostic system developed to overcome the serious limitations of traditional categories. We review the mounting evidence on its convergent and discriminant validity, with an incursion into the less-studied ICD-11 system. In the literature, the AMPD's Pathological Trait Model (Criterion B) shows excellent convergence with normal personality traits, and it could be useful as an organizing framework for mental disorders.

“…Since the publication of these models, an argument has emerged that these two criteria are redundant, that the first does not add anything to the second, and the second, being better empirically established, should serve as the primary basis for PD diagnosis (García et al, 2024). However, although you can reconfigure the variance in PD types using dimensional trait models, there is nothing specific about the association of PDs and personality traits.…”

“…Individuals who do not develop normatively are more likely to have difficulties adapting that manifest as problems in identity, self-direction, empathy, and intimacy. The strengths of this model are its conceptual distinction from traits and its foundation in a popular clinical perspective (Sharp & Wall, 2021); its weaknesses are that many people do not ascribe to this perspective and that it has been challenging to empirically demarcate personality functioning from personality traits or to use personality functioning to distinguish PDs from other kinds of disorders (García et al, 2024).…”
