Note: Chapter 19 of the textbook (Larsen, Buss, King, & Ensley, 2020) is entitled Disorders of Personality.

Finally, there are expressions (e.g., “borderlines”) and language used in the chapter that are outdated and widely recognized as inappropriate by individuals and organizations who work with people with personality disorders.
