Yes, all the ten personality disorders are still in the DSM-5 though I like their new idea that they also included about a new model for diagnosing PD's, I found the latter to be far more accurate. I think it does people with PD's a disservice to only focus on behaviors, as that often can lead to a misdiagnosis. The new idea they proposed for diagnosing PD's is not just focused on behavior but also internal experiences and motivations, which I found to be refreshing.
