Do you have an "alternate model for personality disorders" post for HPD? If not, would you be able to make one? I'm really glad to have a resource like this since I've been questioning a few PDs, and HPD is one that's been on my radar for a while!
the alternate models come from the DSM, and it doesn't include HPD - it would be diagnosed as PD-TS (Trait Specified) in this model.
if i had to guess at a HPD alternate model:
like all alternate model PDs, it would include impairments in identity, self-direction, empathy & intimacy.
HPD's examples might look like:
identity: unclear boundaries between self & others, unstable self-image & self-esteem, inability to regulate emotions
self-direction: incoherent short & long-term goals, unstable internal standards of social behaviour
empathy: difficulties understanding others' experiences, and their effects on others
intimacy: unstable connection (and desire for) with others, unbalanced mutuality in connections
in the Five Factor Model part, HPD might also be described as being high in Negative Affectivity (e.g. mood instability & intensity, insecurity, etc.) and Disinhibition (e.g. impulsivity, risk taking, etc.)
you could also check out the ICD-11's personality disorder diagnosis (just one disorder with various traits)
