 |  Personality Disorders
I'm looking to get a list of personality disorders. I only have a few so far. Narcissism Sociopathic Inferiority complex Superiority complex Napoleon complex Messianic complex God complex If you know of any others please post them and i'll add them to my list. I found this list of positive/negative personality traits for reference Positive and Negative Human Traits Some of them are a matter of balance, selfishness/selflessnes, but overall pretty good. If you know of any other good lists like that, please post them. Last edited by tylersch; 02-01-2007 at 04:35 PM. |

| 7 Deadly Sins
It seems to me that the seven deadly sins would make a good reference for you.
These are things we all need to be careful of because, when we allow them to get out of control, they can each take over our personality and put us out of touch with where we need to be spiritually.

Are you looking for a clinical list or to understand what people consider to be pathological traits. If the latter, it's an interesting question because I expect you could learn a tremendous amount about a person's self-perception from their answer. Mine answer is there is only one: Quote:

I don't care for generic overall labels. I'm looking for specific labels. For example, if you hear about a certain situation, you ask, "what's their problem?" To illustrate: A friend of mine talks down to his mother. What's his problem? What traits can you place on a person like that? |

If you're wanting an official list just check out the DSM-IV: Psych Central - DSM-IV Mental Disorders Index Frotteurism anyone?  Last edited by openeyes; 02-01-2007 at 05:16 AM. |
