A personality disorder is a pattern of deviant or abnormal behavior that the person doesn't change even though it causes emotional upsets and trouble with other people at work and in personal relationships. It is not limited to episodes of mental illness, and it is not caused by drug or alcohol use, head injury, or illness. There are about a dozen different behavior patterns classified as personality disorders by DSM-IV. All the personality disorders show up as deviations from normal in one or more of the following:

Personality Disorders Topics [General] [General] Personality disorders: Pervasive, inflexible, and stable personality traits that deviate from cultural norms and cause distress or functional impairment. (See also Dissociative Identity Disorder in Ch. 188.) Personality traits are patterns of thinking, perceiving, reacting, and relating that are relatively stable over time and in various situations. Personality disorders occur when these traits are so rigid and maladaptive that they impair interpersonal or vocational functioning. Personality traits and their potential maladaptive significance are usually evident from early adulthood and persist throughout much of life. Mental coping mechanisms (defenses) are used unconsciously at times by everyone. But in persons with personality disorders, coping mechanisms tend to be immature and maladaptive (see Table 191-1 ). Repetitious confrontation in prolonged psychotherapy or by peer encounters is usually required to make such persons aware of these mechanisms.

Everyone has characteristic patterns of perceiving and relating to other people and events (personality traits). Put another way, people tend to cope with stresses in an individual but repetitive style. For example, some people respond to a troubling situation by seeking someone else's help, whereas others prefer to deal with problems on their own. Some people minimize problems; others exaggerate them. Regardless of their usual style, however, mentally healthy people are likely to try an alternative approach if their first response is ineffective.

NPA Personality Theory Based on Mendelian Genetics Reference to Narcissistic, Obsessive-compulsive Personality and Schizophrenia A. M. Benis, Sc.D., M.D. Summary NPA Personality Theory The NPA theory of personality was developed by the author on the basis of concepts described in a psychoanalytic framework over fifty years ago by Karen Horney. The theory posits three major behavioral traits underlying personality: Narcissism (N), Perfectionism (P) and Aggression (A), leading to the formulation of discrete character types. Each trait is based on a major pleiotropic gene that follows the rules of Mendelian genetics. The mode of transmission of the traits was deduced from archetypal family pedigrees. The traits N and A were found to be high frequency recessive, with P being dominant. The theory has the power to explain aspects of personality that previously had seemed intractable to an analytical approach. In particular, it provides anyone the ability to analyze problems of interpersonal relations on the basis of readily identifiable personality types. Quite unexpectedly, it predicts a relationship between infertility (miscarriage and stillbirth) and the personality types of the parents. It also gives insight into the genetic predisposition to

In addition to psychotic-like symptoms, patients with schizotypal personality disorder also manifest social detachment and other deficit-related symptoms. Initial hypotheses centered around defining similarities between schizotypal personality disorder patients and schizophrenic patients in these domains, whereas more recent studies have pursued more specific correlates (particularly in the psychotic-like and deficit-like symptom complexes) of underlying psychopathologic processes in schizotypal personality disorder to better understand the fundamental pathophysiologic processes of the schizophrenia-related disorders ( ) and (b) the observation of psychotogenic effects of dopamine-releasing agents such as amphetamine when administered over long periods of time. While studies measuring the dopamine metabolite homovanillic acid (HVA) in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in schizophrenic patients and comparing them with controls have been inconsistent (
