Book excerpt: The McLean Screening Instrument-BPD is a 10-item, yes/no, self-report patient screening scale. It is used with an undiagnosed population to identify people who need further evaluation for BPD. The scale demonstrates strong sensitivity (the degree to which it correctly identifies patients who do have the disorder), as well as strong specificity (the degree to which it correctly identifies patients who do not have the disorder).

Book excerpt: Purpose: Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a highly prevalent, debilitating, and deadly disorder that is difficult to diagnose. As many as 1 in 10 individuals with BPD successfully commit suicide, thus identifying those with BPD is critically important. In the present study, we assess the predictive validity of the McLean Screening Instrument for Borderline Personality Disorder (MSI-BPD, Zanarini et al., 2003) for detecting BPD. Four indices were examined: positive predictive power (PPP), negative predictive power (NPP), specificity (SPE), and sensitivity (SEN). Methods: Two-hundred and thirty-nine individuals ages 18 to 60 (M= 27.5; S.D. = 10.07)) completed the MSI-BPD and the International Personality Disorder Examination (IPDE; Loranger, 1994). Results: Sixty-three participants (26.4%) met criteria for BPD on the IPDE. The kappa value for an MSI-BPD threshold of 5, 6, or 7 indicated moderate levels of agreement (Fleiss, 1981). The MSI-BPD showed excellent sensitivity with cut-off scores of 5 or 6 and weaker sensitivity with cut-off scores of 7 or 8. In contrast, its specificity increased as the cut-off increased. The positive predictive value ranged from 0.48 (cutoff of 5) to 0.56 (cut-off of 7). However, the negative predictive power was high for all cut-offs. Conclusion: The MSI-BPD can be an effective screening tool for detecting BPD. Our findings are generally consistent with the initial validation study for which a cutoff of 7 was recommended. However, we recommend a cut-off score of 6 as useful in a two-stage process to identify those likely to have BPD. When caseness is particularly important, a cut-off of seven may be preferred.

Edited and written by leading international authorities, many of whom are actively involved with the development of DSM-V and ICD-11, the book integrates biological and psychosocial perspectives. It provides balanced analyses of such issues as the role of social context and culture in psychopathology and the pros and cons of categorical versus dimensional approaches to diagnosis. Cutting-edge diagnostic instruments and research methods are reviewed. Throughout, contributors highlight the implications of current theoretical and empirical advances for understanding real-world clinical problems and developing more effective treatments.

This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Objective: Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is serious and prevalent and is quite heterogeneous. Identifying subtypes of BPD promises useful diagnostic and treatment implications. Although a series of subtyping studies exist, only two have examined BPD subtypes while taking into account BPD severity. We utilize factor mixture modeling (FMM) to identify discrete BPD subtypes, simultaneously considering symptom severity, in a large nonclinical young adult sample. We also consider how identified subtypes may be reflected in individuals reliably diagnosed with BPD. Method: Undergraduate students (N = 20,010; 63.86% female; mean age=18.75, SD = 1.73) and BPD-diagnosed participants (N = 66; 97% female; mean age = 29.74, SD = 10.94) completed a dimensional version of the McLean Screening Instrument for BPD (MSI-BPD). This was condensed to measure the nine DSM BPD criteria on a True/False scale. We conducted FMM to determine classes of individuals characterized by different responses to the MSI-BPD as well as the composition of underlying BPD severity dimensions. Results: The nonclinical sample was comprised of three subtypesAsymptomatic (70%), Impulsive/Externalizing (19%), and Identity Disturbed/Internalizing (11%)falling along a single continuum of increasing BPD severity. In the BPD sample, a single severity dimension best captured BPD symptomatology and no subtypes were identifiable. Conclusions: Our results suggest the importance of both dimensional and categorical conceptualizations of BPD, depending on the sample and level of severity in focus. Impulsive/Externalizing and Identity Disturbed/Internalizing classes suggest different treatment targets for subthreshold BPD and potential etiologically relevant profiles for BPD development. The findings are discussed in terms of their clinical implications regarding diagnosis, treatment, and theoretical conceptualization of BPD.

Book excerpt: It has been almost twenty years since DSM-III created a major shift in psychi atric classification procedures and in diagnostic and treatment practice by introducing the multi-axial system and, for our patients specifically, the Axis II: Personality Disorders. Researchers and clinicians were forced to focus on many issues related to the field of personality and its disorders. This meant an immense impetus for research, both empirical and theoretical. Many recent developments are described in this book, as reviews or as original articles. This book also covers developments in Europe as well as in North America. Important questions still remain unanswered, such as: What is the relationship between the different clusters: A, B, & C? Are we talking about dimensions, categories, or typologies? What can be done for patients who have more than one personality disorder? Is a pro typical approach required? Consequently, is a multiconceptual approach in treatment and research required? The authors contribute to this discus sion and provide guidelines for further thinking in research and treatment planning. For clinicians, it is of major importance to know whether the disorder can be influ enced by treatment, and whether permanent change is really possible. A very impor tant question is whether a person indeed has a personality disorder, and how this diagnosis affects clinical practice.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a comprehensive introduction to the theory and practice of diagnostic classification models (DCMs), which are useful for statistically driven diagnostic decision making. DCMs can be employed in a wide range of disciplines, including educational assessment and clinical psychology. For the first time in a single volume, the authors present the key conceptual underpinnings and methodological foundations for applying these models in practice. Specifically, they discuss a unified approach to DCMs, the mathematical structure of DCMs and their relationship to other latent variable models, and the implementation and estimation of DCMs using Mplus. The book's highly accessible language, real-world applications, numerous examples, and clearly annotated equations will encourage professionals and students to explore the utility and statistical properties of DCMs in their own projects. This book will appeal to professionals in the testing industry; professors and students in educational, school, clinical, and cognitive psychology. It will also serve as a useful text in doctoral-level courses in diagnostic testing, cognitive diagnostic assessment, test validity, diagnostic assessment, advanced educational measurement, psychometrics, and item response theory

Book excerpt: Though schools have become the default mental health providers for children and adolescents, they are poorly equipped to meet the mental health needs of their students. Evidence-Based Practice in School Mental Health differs from other books that address child and adolescent psychopathology by focusing on how to help students with mental disorders in pre-K-12th-grade schools. Chapters address the prevalence of a disorder in school-age populations, appropriate diagnostic criteria, differential diagnosis, comorbid disorders, available rapid assessment instruments, school-based interventions using multi-tiered systems of support, and easy-to-follow suggestions for progress monitoring. Additionally, the text shares detailed suggestions for how school-based clinicians can collaborate with teachers, parents, and community providers to address the needs of youth with mental health problems. Each chapter finishes with extensive web resources and real-life case examples drawn from the author's clinical practice. This book serves as a helpful resource for school-based mental health providers (e.g., school social workers, school psychologists, and school counselors), communities-in-schools coordinators, and MSW students focusing on child and adolescent mental health.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Evidence-Based Treatments for Alcohol and Drug Abuse encompasses the developments in the field over the last decade, blending theory, techniques and clinical flexibility. Research in the past decade has shown that substance abuse and substance dependence are treatable. The field has witnessed the introduction of evidence-based psychological and specific pharmacological treatments. Unfortunately, many of the empirical supported therapies for addictions are still not widely applied by practitioners. The third volume in the Practical Clinical Guidebooks Series (PCG), Evidence-Based Treatments for Alcohol and Drug Abuse, defines the characteristics, classification, and prevalence of substance use disorders, and provides the clinician with practical guidelines applicable across a variety of treatment settings and patient groups. Drawing on the recent research in the field, the authors provide the practicing clinician and student with an up-to-date understanding of the epidemiology, etiology, course and prognosis of substance abuse disorders that would be relevant to clinical practice. In addition to describing phenomenology and etiology, the book provides a comprehensive guide to the assessment and treatment of DSM-IV-TR substance abuse disorders (SUDs), including abuse and dependence of alcohol, stimulants, opiates, hallucinogens, cannabis/marijuana, sedative, and party drugs.

Book excerpt: Eating disorders (EDs) affect at least 11 million people in the United States each year and spread across age, race, ethnicity and socio-economic class. While professional literature on the subject has grown a great deal in the past 30 years, it tends to be exclusively research-based and lacking expert clinical commentary on treatment. This volume focuses on just such commentary, with chapters authored by both expert clinicians and researchers. Core issues such as assessment and diagnosis, the correlation between EDs and weight and nutrition, and medical/psychiatric management are discussed, as are the underrepresented issues of treatment differences based on gender and culture, the applications of neuroscience, EDNOS, comorbid psychiatric disorders and the impact of psychiatric medications. This volume uniquely bridges the gap between theoretical findings and actual practice, borrowing a bench-to-bedside approach from medical research. Includes real-world clinical findings that will improve the level of care readers can provide, consolidated in one place Underrepresented issues such as gender, culture, EDNOS and comorbidity are covered in full Represents outstanding scholarship, with each chapter written by an expert in the topic area

Book excerpt: Awards and Praise for the first edition: Recipient of the 2006 International Association for Relationship Research (IARR) Book Award "This text, as it presently stands, is THE go-to text for stalking researchers. That is my opinion and the opinion of multiple fellow scholars I know in the field. It rarely sits on my shelf, but rather is a constant reference on my desk. I can always count on these authors to have done an extensive review of literature. I thought I was thorough, but they are always providing me with new references." --Dr. H. Colleen Sinclair, Associate Professor of Psychology, Mississippi State University "Cupach and Spitzberg provide the reader with a multidisciplinary framework for understanding the nature and impact of unwanted relationship pursuits. This book is an excellent resource for students and professionals alike who seek to gain knowledge about unwanted relational pursuits and stalking." —Journal of Couple & Relationship Therapy The Dark Side of Relationship Pursuit provides historical and definitional frames for studying unwanted relationship pursuit, and considers the role of the media, law, and social science research in shaping today’s conceptualizations of stalking. The volume integrates research from diverse contributing fields and disciplines, providing a thorough summary and assessment of current knowledge on stalking and obsessive pursuit. Building on the foundation of the award-winning first edition, this revision considers assessment issues, offers an expanded analysis of the meta-analysis data set, and includes coverage of intercultural and international factors. As an increasing number of scholarly disciplines and professional fields study stalking and other forms of obsessive relationship pursuit, this book is a must-have resource for examining interpersonal conflict, social and personal relationships, domestic violence, unrequited love, divorce and relational dissolution, and harassment. It also has much to offer researchers, counselors, and professionals in psychology, counseling, criminal justice, sociology, psychiatry, forensic evaluation, threat assessment, and law enforcement.
