Zagreb Clinicians Seminar Notes and Summary (PDF LINK in Description)

The field of personality disorders is at an impasse, reflected in the competing diagnostic models in the DSM 5-TR (the categorical lists of diagnostic criteria imported verbatim from the DSM-IV-TR vs. the dimensional, descriptive alternative models, relegated to the appendices). We need to reconceive of cluster B personality disorders as posttraumatic dissociative conditions involving self-states (subpersonalities with pseudoidentities).
This seems to be the most clinically rigorous way to rid ourselves of excessive comorbidities and polythetic diagnoses. Recasting cluster B personality disorders as post-traumatic conditions which involve dissociation goes a long way towards resolving these outstanding conundrums and provides for hitherto absent efficacious treatment modalities.

Thank you so much for this condensed, comprehensive recap, Sam. It is valuable and helpful as are all of your videos and seminars. I did watch this seminar in it’s entirety, but it is great to have a succinct version of all of this information. I have learned immensely from you and I am very grateful for you. Have a very better New Year-as good as it will be, or as good as you make it-sincerely!🥰

If an individual transitions from NPD to BPD, are her introjects released in the process? Are external objects converted into introjects again and recaptured when the individual switches back?

[@samvaknin]

NPD is always the dominant structure.

Thank you

Way too many traits on this video resonate with me. I should definitely seek help 😢

[@RickyPayaso]

@samvaknin Dear Professor Vaknin Does NPD always only start in one way ? Is it always absolute ? or is there some level of degree ? Is there a degree of false self or strength of the false self. And thank you. You have led me to some degree of acceptance (of my own responsibility) and hope...Although my questions above, might lead you to think, im deluding myself.

Thank you Sir The first minute of your lecture here answered the question regarding whether it's absolute(it's like pregnancy, either you have it or you don't but the traits can be different) kzbin.info/www/bejne/pXmunqN3f8qHpJYsi=EzTW3ftf4GhYn3HJ
