Types of personality disorders

Imagine the member of a DSM subcommittee. They and their colleagues have been asked to evaluate the 10 types of personality disorders’ organizational system. These types of personality disorders are currently categorized in three “clusters.”: Odd disorders (Cluster A), dramatic, emotional, or erratic (Cluster B), and anxious or fearful (Cluster C).

Consider each of the 10 personality disorders and determine whether one should agree with the current organizational system or think they should perhaps be reorganized. If one agrees with the current organizational system, explain why with facts and logic. If one thinks these 10 personality disorders should be reorganized, present a new classification system with facts and logic.
