- Abstract
The diagnosis of personality disorders is still today a permanent source of debates. This happens because from the categorical perspective the pathological traits -- hypersociability, perfectionism -- are encountered also in normal persons, are stable and usually they diminish in intensity in time -- cluster B personality traits -- and also they may be considered abnormal in one culture, but normal or adaptive in another culture. From the dimensional perspective the maladaptive traits -- regarded as facets of the personality dimensions -- highlight or tone down the interindividual differences and have different degrees of severity which start from the adaptive level pertaining to the normal personality and they are found again in the severe maladaptive level that -- exceeding the frame of personality disorders -- are identified with the symptoms of Axis I diseases. Nowadays personality disorders may be regarded as identitary structures that integrate the structuring deficiencies of the Self in interpersonal relationships disorders, the persistent dysfunctionality in the roles of life and the subjective discomfort as bases of adaptive deficit. On the territory between normal personality and Axis disease, between mental normality and abnormality, personality disorders may be rede- fined as nosological structures of a particular complexity and flexibility.
