Published: January 2023

In the present article, we aim to contribute to further progress in the field of personality disorder (PD) development by highlighting several recent methodological innovations related to (a) the measurement of personality pathology, (b) the modeling of typical features of personality pathology, and (c) the assessment of processes that characterize PD development. For each of those issues, we discuss key points of attention and methodological strategies, illustrated with recent publications in the PD research field as potential resources for future research.

Background: Beyond psychosis prediction, clinical high-risk (CHR-P) symptoms show clinical relevance by their association with functional impairments and psychopathology, including personality pathology. Impaired personality functioning is prioritized in recent dimensional personality disorder models (DSM-5, ICD-11), yet underexplored in CHR-P, as are associations with cognitive biases, which early studies indicate as possibly linking CHR-P-symptoms and personality pathology.

Methods: A community sample ( 444, 17-60 years, 61.

Breed differences in olfactory performance of dogs.

Sci Rep

January 2025

HUN-REN-ELTE Comparative Ethology Research Group, Budapest, Hungary.

Most studies on dogs' olfactory performance focused only on some individuals pre-trained for a task or on specially selected/trained detection dogs. Here, using the Natural Detection Task (NDT) that does not require training, we assessed the effect of several potential factors on the performance of a large sample of dogs (N = 527/tested, 484/analysed). Olfactory success was associated with breeds, but breed groups (selected for olfaction, cooperation, or both) were proven non-relevant, suggesting that breed-specific traits are more influential than functional breed group characteristics.

Department of Psychology, University of Kentucky, Lexington, Kentucky, USA; email:

The personality disorders are said to be at the vanguard in the shift to a dimensional model of classification, as exemplified in the Alternative Model of Personality (AMPD) presented in Section III of the fifth edition of the (DSM-5) for emerging models and in the 11th edition of the (ICD-11). Considered herein are some limitations and challenges. For the DSM-5 AMPD trait model, these include problematic placements, inadequate coverage, perceived complexity, and lack of cutoff points.

Evaluative Research on Psychodynamic Therapy: Foundations and Recent Advances.

J Psychiatr Pract

January 2025

Mental Health Medical Activity Center, Caen Normandy University Hospital, Caen, France.

Psychodynamic therapy (PDT), a technical adaptation of psychoanalysis, is one of the most widely practiced forms of psychotherapy, making evaluative research on it essential. Although research on PDT has been ongoing for several decades, theoretical and practical challenges initially hindered the adoption of evidence-based medicine standards in such research, a shift that has largely taken place over the past 20 years. This article reviews the evolution of evaluative research on PDT for mental disorders in adults, with a focus on those with complex conditions.
