DeFife, Ph.D., Department of Psychology, Emory University Bekh Bradley, Ph.D., and Department of Psychiatry, Emory University, Atlanta Veterans Administration Hospital Mark J. Hilsenroth, Ph.D. Derner Institute of Advanced Psychological Studies, Adelphi University Abstract Several studies suggest that a prototype matching approach yields diagnoses of comparable validity to the more complex diagnostic algorithms outlined in DSM-IV. Furthermore, clinicians prefer prototype diagnosis of personality disorders (PDs) to the current categorical diagnostic system or alternative dimensional methods. An important extension of this work is to investigate the degree to which clinicians are able to make prototype diagnoses reliably.
