Personality in PDM-2
The Adult Personality section of the Psychodynamic Diagnostic Manual (2nd ed. [PDM-2]; Lingiardi & McWilliams, 2017) reflects the best effort of theorists, researchers, and clinicians to capture clinically relevant personality constellations, from healthy personality styles to highly troubled disorders.
