Summary

In acknowledgment of the continued tension between the need to dimensionalize personality pathology in youth, and the reality of a categorical nosology in clinical settings, the goal of the present chapter is to review research on child and adolescent personality pathology from both these perspectives. While the review highlights several differences in constructs, methodology, and clinical implications of the two approaches, it also highlights significant commonalities in conclusions drawn from the traditions underlying categorical versus dimensional approaches. In particular, both categorical and dimensional approaches seem to support the idea that adolescence presents a unique developmental period for the crystallization of personality pathology.
