Translator disclaimer

This paper describes the histrionic personality disorder as an adult relationship disorder patterned developmentally on a negative stroking system. It also suggests a here-and-now treatment approach that reinstates a positive stroking system and frees the blocked separation-individuation process, thus allowing the personality to mature and proceed with healthy object relationships.
