Abstract
The historical background to classification of personality is briefly reviewed. A more detailed comparative account is given of the ICD 9 (1978) and the DSM III (1980) typological classifications of personality disorders. Their value in court reporting is discussed. A critical evaluation is made of personality typology. The conclusion is that in spite of certain defects they are a useful method of transmitting information and of making prognostications in forensic psychiatry.Keywords
