TY  - CHAP
AB  - Personality disorders (PDs) are maladaptive patterns of relating to self and others that have negative consequences for the individual and society at large. While debate continues about the most appropriate system for their classification, poor health and social outcomes experienced by people with these problems highlight their public health importance. Interpersonal problems inherent in PD mean that providing services for people with PD is not straightforward. However, clear links with childhood adversity provide a basis for the development of primary prevention strategies, and an evidence base is beginning to emerge that suggests that many forms of PD are amenable to psychosocial intervention.
