Abstract
The authors examined the internal consistency and factorial structure of behavioral criteria for assessing personality disorders. Most sets of criteria were internally consistent, but items relating to different disorders showed substantial intercorrelations. Factor analysis identified specific traits rather than actual disorders.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
