Abstract EN

Personality disorders are the most important topics that have attracted the attention of researchers in the field of psychopathology and psychiatry, in terms of their diagnosis and classification.

The issue of classification is considered a controversial problem that took a large part of discussion, as psychologists and researchers in this field were divided into two categories: a category that supports the classification of personality disorders through a categorical system (groups) and this is the system followed by the Diagnostic Statistical Manual, considering that the disorder is a group of distinct symptoms that differ qualitatively about the normal state.

As for the second category, it supports the dimensional system, that is, according to the dimensions of personality, as they see that it is better to use the dimensional system through which the personality of the individual can be described using features instead of diagnostic patterns.

Clear and qualitative between having or not having the disorder, while the dimensional system indicates a quantitative difference.

Thus, the classification of personality disorders is not a definite matter, which opens the field of research and delves into the classification of this complex pathological category.
