We review major categorical and dimensional models of personality pathology, highlighting advantages and disadvantages of these approaches. Several analytic and methodological approaches to the question of the categorical versus dimensional status of constructs are discussed, including taxometric analyses, latent class analyses, and multivariate genetic analyses. Based on our review, we advocate a dimensional approach to classifying personality pathology. There is converging evidence that four major domains of personality are relevant to personality pathology: neuroticism/negative affectivity/emotional dysregulation; extraversion/positive emotionality; dissocial/antagonistic behavior; and constraint/compulsivity/conscientiousness. Finally, we discuss how dimensional approaches might be integrated into the diagnostic system, as well as some of the major issues that must be addressed in order for dimensional approaches to gain wide acceptance.

人格障碍的分类和维度模型。

我们回顾了人格病理学的主要分类和维度模型，重点介绍了这些方法的优缺点。讨论了有关构造物的分类与尺寸状态问题的几种分析方法论方法，包括分类法分析，潜在类别分析和多元遗传分析。根据我们的评论，我们提倡使用维度方法对人格病理进行分类。有越来越多的证据表明，人格的四个主要方面与人格病理有关：神经质/负面情感/情绪失调；人格障碍。外向性/积极情绪；非社会/对抗行为；和约束/强迫/尽责。最后，我们讨论如何将维度方法整合到诊断系统中，
