Abstract
Personality disorders are diagnosed when the person's behaviors and experiences are persistent, pervasive, and problematic. Relative to other major mental disorders, personality disorders are highly prevalent in the general population and they seriously compromise the individual's health, interpersonal relationships, and social functioning. High-quality treatment evaluations for personality disorders other than borderline are few, and the evidence currently allows identification of only possibly efficacious treatments. No one psychological treatment has been identified as superior, and there is considerable work to be done in identifying what works best with whom and over what time period. At present, a broad range of cognitive behavior, psychosocial, and psychodynamic therapies should remain on the agenda. Keywords: personality disorders; cognitive behavior therapy; psychosocial therapies; psychodynamic therapies
