Abstract

Adolescence is a crucial period for developing certain personality traits that shape a person's behavior throughout life. Each person has a unique set of positive and negative traits that build a person's personality, which remains relatively stable and permanent. It has been a matter of controversy for the last many decades that personality disorders cannot be diagnosed before 18 years, considering the evolving personalities of these young people. However, recent personality assessment models and a growing body of research have proven the existence of personality pathology during adolescence. Hence, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM 5) considers the developmental perspective of personality pathology and emphasizes the presence of maladaptive personality traits during adolescence. The primary purpose of the present chapter is to discuss the recent models of personality assessment and how these models can be applied to adolescents.
