Lessons from longitudinal studies for new approaches to the DSM-V: the FFM and FFT

Paul T Costa Jr et al. J Pers Disord. 2005 Oct.

Abstract

After brief comments about each target article, we discuss their significance for the DSM-V, the implications for personality disorders of universal trait developmental trends, and our emerging theoretical model, the Five-Factor Theory, which provides an integrative context for these remarkable findings.
