• Two classifications of PDs – categorical or dimensional.
- Classification: • Categorical classification:
the debate • Presence or absence of a PD.
• PDs are qualitatively distinct from each other, and from normal
personality.
• No assumptions are made about the underlying dimensions or
structure of PDs.
• Dimensional classification:
• Personality manifests on continuous dimensions of traits.
• PDs are quantitively distinct from normal personality.
• PDs manifest as extreme and maladaptive levels of personality
traits.
• DSM-5-TR (March, 2022) still contains categorical classification system, but
