COGNITIVE ANALYTIC THERAPY DEFINITIONS OF PERSONALITY DISORDER Much debate rages around so-called categorical definitions of PD and dimensional definitions. The former are seen as having an either-you-have-it-or-you-don't approach, allocating people to diagnostic categories based on whether or not they display sufficient symptoms of the disorder to warrant inclusion. The latter can be seen as more flexible (and therefore more sensitive at the cost of losing the clarity of categorical approaches.)

Topic Home · Related: Mental Disorders Introduction Staff Personality disorders are pervasive chronic psychological disorders, which can greatly affect a person's life. Having a personality disorder can negatively affect one's work, one's family, and one's social life. Personality disorders exists on a continuum so they can be mild to more severe in terms of how pervasive and to what extent a person exhibits the features of a particular personality disorder. While most people can live pretty normal lives with mild personality disorders (or more simply, personality traits), during times of increased stress or external pressures (work, family, a new relationship, etc.), the symptoms of the personality disorder will gain strength and begin to seriously interfere with their emotional and psychological functioning. Those with a personality disorder possess several distinct psychological features including disturbances in self-image; ability to have successful interpersonal relationships; appropriateness of range of emotion, ways of perceiving themselves, others, and the world; and difficulty possessing proper impulse control. These disturbances come together to create a pervasive pattern of behavior and inner experience that is quite different from the norms of the individual's culture and that often tend to be expressed in behaviors that appear more dramatic than what society considers usual. Therefore, those with a personality disorder often experience conflicts with other people and vice-versa. There are ten different types of personality disorders that exist, which all have various emphases.
