Over the next several months, we will phase out some popular OSF features. These changes do not affect current public content, which remains safe and accessible.

You don’t have to be psychodynamic to care about better diagnosis. My new post asks why DSM-6 is chasing solutions the PDM-3 has already worked out: capacities over symptoms, severity over labels, and formulations that actually help treatment. kimberlyjgilbert.substack.com/p/designing-...

They argue that PF can't both capture what PDs share and distinguish PD from other disorders, but that only holds if PF is a statistical summary. If it's a developmental capacity, being specific in origin and broad in consequence isn't a contradiction. That's how development works.

This was a great read. One disanalogy: classifying an animal doesn't change the animal, but diagnosing a person reshapes their property profile — self-concept, behavior, social role, treatment all shift. The atlas is reactive: superimposing structure changes the landscape you're mapping.

Antagonism is a coherent factor between persons. Within persons it splits: hostile aggression on one side, entitlement fused with insecurity on the other. Why? I think the divergence tells us something specific about timescale and process. New post: kimberlyjgilbert.substack.com/p/the-conver...

A lot of arguments about “personality functioning” are actually arguments about three different things: • a developmental construct • the DSM-5 LPF • the questionnaires used to measure it The field keeps using the same phrase for all three. New post: kimberlyjgilbert.substack.com/p/the-constr...

Energy was the most predictable affective state here and negative affect was the hardest. If passive sensing is better at tracking energy and activation than valence, maybe the path to clinical utility runs through fatigue monitoring rather than mood tracking 🤔

This is great. The hardest version of this problem isn't choosing between process and product. It's that you often can't tell which one you're looking at until after you've skipped it. Sitting with messy data feels like a bottleneck, but it might be where your understanding quietly takes shape.

The trope “I’m an introverted extravert” is a great illustration of a) the inherently contextual nature of personality and b) limits of even our best trait models.

Fascinating work. The next step here might be AMPD Criterion A. Identity and self-direction are narrative-structural constructs that self-report struggles to capture. This is the method that could finally scale personological assessment of personality functioning from unconstrained text.

The interpersonal situation framework describes a dynamic, unfolding context where perception, construal, affect, motivation, and behavior cycle between self and other. It also describes every open mic I ever did. Here, I map CIIT onto my experience. 🔗 kimberlyjgilbert.substack.com/p/what-three...

This is excellent. The most interesting result isn’t that AP outperforms PP, but that the treatments seem to operate on different time horizons. When change unfolds over years, follow-up length stops being a methodological detail and becomes the result.
