Title: Early intervention in personality disorders
Abstract: Personality disorders have their onset in adolescence or early adulthood. It is now well-established that these conditions emerge in individuals who have heritable risk factors and who experience disruptions in the attachment process, a critical component of early development that, when successful, sets the stage for healthy, stable personality functioning in adulthood. The importance of early identification of, and intervention for, emerging personality disorders is increasingly recognized. A new dimensional model for personality disorders relies on assessing self and interpersonal functioning, impairment of which during adolescence may signal the early onset of potentially disabling personality disorders.
