In reply to Personality disorder as a character issue???, posted by socialdeviantjeff on January 16, 2004, at 3:04:26
Jeff...let me tell you as a Social Worker (one on disability...and mentally ill...but still good at what he does..;-) that there is a whole issue of "labeling" here, and there are many school's of thought (i.e. sociology) that disagree very strongly with it's worth. Psychology is just *one* of many social sciences that have many diverse opinions on the topic. A sociologist would say there is absolutely nothing wrong with your "character', nor is it an issue, but one in which society tries to label and blame everything on *you*, and hence label you "deviant". So...I really wouldn't worry much at all about the issue...as it is only a matter of perception...academic perception at that.
Best,
Jay
