And a good morning to you, "Mia T"!! Here's to another day of getting and keeping the word out there!!

"Hillary-the-person isn't running."

Sadly, there is no identifiable "person" constituting Hillary! She is, as they say, one sick "puppy"!!!

[Nancee]

"Hillary-the-person answers to no one."

"Hillary-the-person never shows her face. Hillary-the-person never talks. Part of the reason is substance-- or more precisely, the lack of it: The clintons are a truly banal bunch."

Stay tuned for the diagnostic criteria of the Antisocial Personality Disorder!

[Nancee]

There are ten (10) "Personality Disorders" listed in the DSM-IV:

Paranoid Personality Disorder

Schizoid Personality Disorder

Schizotypical Personality Disorder

Antisocial Personality Disorder

Borderline personality Disorder

Histrionic Personality Disorder

Narcissistic Personality Disorder

Avoidant Personality Disorder

Dependent Personality Disorder

Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder

Stay with me on this; more to follow!

In addition to the ten (10) above-noted Personality Disorders, another is listed:

Personality Disorder Not Otherwise Specified: this "is a catagory provided for two situations: 1) the individual's personality pattern meets the general criteria for a Personality Disorder and traits of several different personality Disorders are present, but the criteria for any specific Personality Disorder are not met; or 2) the individual's personality patttern meets the general criteria for a Personality Disorder, but the individual is considered to have a Personality Disorder that is not included in the Classification (e.g., passive-aggressive personality disorder)."

Back later with more!!

The Personality Disorders are grouped into three clusters based on descriptive similarities.

Cluster A: includes: the Paranoid, Schizoid, and Schizotypal personality Disorders. Individuals with these disorders often appear odd or eccentric.

Cluster B: includes: the Antisocial, Borderline, Histrionic, and Narcissistic Personality Disorders. Individuals with these disorders ofter appear dramatic, emotional, or erractic.

Cluster C: includes: the Avoidant, Dependent, and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorders. Individuals with these disorders often appear anxious or fearful.

Obviously, we are going to be focusing on "Cluster B". This is precisely the area of concern where BOTH Hillary and Bill are concerned!

More later!

Going back up to post #140, review the general definition of a Personality Disorder:

"A Personality Disorder is an enduring pattern of inner experience and behavior that deviates markedly from the expectations of the individual's culture, is pervasive and inflexible, has an onset in adolescence or early adulthood, is stable over time, and leads to distress or impairment."

Next we build on this and expand this dfinition!
