Summary

The authors of this commentary aim to expand on particular points covered in the chapter by Evans, Williams and Simms, and discuss other issues that were not covered there. First, they discuss future research directions for, and the potential utility of, multisource assessments of personality pathology. Second, they emphasize the need for aspects of clinical utility within some of the reviewed measures (e.g., norms, validity scales). Third, they discuss the need for further examinations into the feasibility and utility of longitudinal assessments of personality pathology (e.g., dynamics in the context of treatment). Fourth, they describe two recent measures of personality pathology that warrant further validation. Lastly, they emphasize the need for a conceptual and measurement-based consensus regarding the multidimensional nature of personality pathology as a whole.
