Summary

The author provides a summary of the commentaries provided by Bornstein (this volume) and Chmielewski and Truilo (this volume), highlighting areas of agreement and cordial disagreement. Broadly speaking, Bornstein sees progress and is optimistic about the direction of change with respect to categorical assessment of PDs, favoring an approach that combines categories and dimensions. In contrast, Chmielewski and Truilo are dissatisfied by the current state of diagnostic assessment of PDs. The author takes the perspective that while there is room for improvement, there has been significant progress in how PDs are conceptualized and assessed.Collaborative research that integrates different perspectives and methodologies is needed to continue to advance the field.
