I don't understand their thinking. If they are planning to change the system to a dimensional approach, which I think overall is not a bad idea, why leave the five remaining personality disorders in the DSM? If not, why not keep all that are clinically relevant? Using the input of clinicians, not academicians, as a guide. I'm fine with ditching all the personality disorders, considering them characteristic ways of coping, and looking at the underlying biological causes. But this approach is beyond my comprehension.
