Abstract

This article provides a literature review on Personality Disorders (PD), focusing on diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. The analysis spans studies from the last ten years, highlighting the transition to a dimensional approach in diagnostic criteria and the diversity of effective therapeutic strategies, including cognitive-behavioral and dialectical-behavioral therapies. The clinical complexity of PDs, the frequent presence of comorbidities, and therapeutic challenges are discussed. Future perspectives in PD research are explored, emphasizing the need for innovative therapeutic strategies and an enhanced understanding of neurobiological foundations. The review aims to contribute to more holistic clinical practices and inform future research in the field.
