Integration of the and Dimensional Systems for Personality Disorders Into a Unified Taxonomy With Non-overlapping Traits.

The promise of replacing the diagnostic categories of personality disorder with a better-grounded system has been only partially met.

We also need truly independent pathological domains, as they have shown unacceptable overlap so far.
