Although mood, behavior, and common developmental                        challenges can appear similar on the surface, they are often driven by                        distinct underlying factors. User's Guide for the Structured                            Clinical Interview for the DSM-5 Alternative Model for Personality                            Disorders, Module I, Adolescent Version (SCID-5-AMPD Module                            I-A) helps clinicians dive under the surface, asking better                        questions that allow for clearer, well-supported conclusions when                        administering and scoring the Module I-A interview for the Level of                        Personality Functioning Scale (LPFS) for adolescents. Introduced in DSM-5,                        the LPFS helps clinicians evaluate whether the personality features of                        Criterion A in the DSM-5 Alternative Model are met[AE2.1].   This guide                        outlines a semistructured interview process that focuses on understanding                        how adolescents function as people in their relationships—with themselves                        and others. Rather than relying on checklists or first impressions,                        providers use a funnel-style evaluation, beginning with broad, open-ended                        questions and narrowing to targeted follow-up questions as needed.   By                        evaluating across the four LPFS domains—Identity, Self-Direction, Empathy,                        and Intimacy—clinicians can better understand how adolescents see                        themselves, set goals, understand others, and form relationships. This                        allows them to see past the adolescent's surface-level reports and better                        interpret their uneven or limited insights—a common challenge when                        evaluating youths—by drawing on real-world examples and observing behavior                        during sessions.   The guide provides structured scoring guidance that                        uses anchors across domains\/subdomains, as well as clinical examples and                        observational guidelines. This helps providers turn their impressions into                        clear ratings that support treatment planning and collaboration with care                        teams. Designed for psychiatrists, psychologists, and other mental                        health care providers, the User's Guide emphasizes clinical judgment and                        practical use, making it a reliable companion to the Module I-A interview                        for assessing personality functioning in adolescents.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57513525608821,"sku":"9798894552002","price":62.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/users-guide-for-the-structured-clinical-interview-for-the-dsm-5%c2%ae-alternative-model-for-personality-disorders-module-i-adolescent-version-scid-5-ampd-module-i-a","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
