Abstract

Little is known about the course of personality disorders across the life span. A major problem is that the current DSM nosology for personality disorders does not account for age‐associated changes in behaviour and interpersonal functioning. This editorial will discuss the main diagnostic bottlenecks when applying the current DSM‐IV‐TR Axis II criteria to older adults. Subsequently, suggestions will be given for future research and the development of a geriatric sub‐classification. Copyright Β© 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
