Personality disorders in DSM-III and DSM-III-R: convergence, coverage, and internal consistency
LC Morey
Department of Psychology, Vanderbilt University, Nashville, TN 37240.
Although many sections of DSM-III-R reflect few changes from DSM-III, the
diagnostic criteria for the personality disorders involve more substantial
revisions. This study examined the impact of DSM-III-R revisions in terms
of convergence with DSM-III, the diagnostic coverage of patients with
personality disorders, and the internal consistency of the personality
disorder criteria sets. The results demonstrated a substantial divergence
between DSM-III and DSM-III-R diagnoses, increased coverage accompanied by
a large increase in overlap among personality disorders, and internal
consistency estimates of DSM-III-R criterion sets comparable to those in
DSM-III.
