Bob Krueger, a clinical psychologist from the University of Minnesota; Odilia Laceulle, a developmental psychologist at Utrecht University; and Johannes Zimmerman, a professor of personality psychology from the University of Kassel, dive into the complexities of personality and psychopathology. They discuss the shift from traditional diagnostic models to dimensional approaches like HiTOP. The conversation reveals the interplay of personality traits and mental health, particularly in youth, and critiques outdated methods, advocating for more nuanced, evidence-based evaluations in clinical practice.
