Abstract
Accurate diagnosis of personality pathology contributes to useful clinical assessment and effective intervention. Earlier work on personality types by Ware (1983), Joines (1986, 1988), and others is expanded upon by the consideration of additional types and additional features within each type. Ten personality disorders are presented and a table summarizes and coordinates information drawn from transactional analysis, the DSM-III-R (American Psychiatric Association, 1987), and psychodynamic clinical theory. The article emphasizes that clinical judgment should be the foremost guide in each specific case, with the guidelines used as part of a complete psychological evaluation and treatment plan.
