Summary

This commentary on the chapter from Bach and Presnall-Shvorin (this volume) describes the use of the five-factor model (FFM) in treatment planning. Specifically, Bach and Presnall-Shvorin describe how knowledge of a patient’s personality profile can enhance the therapeutic alliance and assist in the selection of treatment components. Their focus is largely at the facet level of the five broad domains, resulting in a large number of intervention strategies necessary to provide adequate coverage for disorder-based sequelae of the FFM. Using neuroticism as an exemplar, this commentary focuses on how clinicians can streamline treatment by understanding functional processes that explain associations between FFM domains and their downstream disorder manifestations. This may allow for a limited number of treatment elements (i.e., five) that may be applicable to the broad range of psychopathology, perhaps increasing treatment efficiency and increasing the likelihood that empirically supported interventions are routinely employed.
