- ohyeshedid 7y agoThat would be at odds with the book you drew your conclusion from.
- ErotemeObelus 7y agoThe DSM-V pretends they're personality disorders instead of personality types...because they want to be politically correct. But the truth is that they're personality types because they're always ego-syntonic. If they were disorders they would be ego-dystonic.
- ohyeshedid 7y agoDSM-5: Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of _Mental Disorders_, 5th Edition. They are personality disorders; trying to insert some kind of bias against political correctness isn't going to change that, nor does it support anything you're trying to say. "If they were disorders they would be ego-dystonic." I'm not sure you understand the concepts of disorders, or you're on some conspiracy trip; either way I'm not interested in debating someones opinion versus current scientific understanding.
