AB  - BACKGROUND/AIMS: There is growing evidence that the validity of diagnostic 
      methods for personality disorders (PD) may be insufficient. Although the ICD-10 
      classification system is widely used, there is little data concerning its 
      validity for diagnosing PD. METHODS: To examine convergent and discriminant 
      validity of ICD-10 PD, corresponding dimensions were calculated using the 
      Inventory of Clinical Personality Accentuations (self-rating) and the 
      International Personality Disorder Examination ICD-10 module (interview and 
      screening questionnaire). These were administered to 42 psychiatric patients. A 
      multitrait-multimethod analysis of the 2 self-administered questionnaires and the 
      structured interview was conducted. RESULTS: Correspondence between methods is 
      significant at the level of 0.01 for the schizoid, borderline, anankastic, 
      anxious and dependent PD dimensions. The investigation of discriminant validity 
      within and between instruments reveals several strong relationships between 
      different PD dimensions. CONCLUSION: Convergent validity can be considered 
      sufficient for 5 of the 9 examined PD dimensions. Non-convergence must partly be 
      interpreted as caused by poor discriminant validity inherent in the ICD-10 
      classification. Conceptualization of PD as completely distinguishable entities 
      may not reflect the clinical reality of a partial overlap between personality 
      disorders.
