An enduring pattern of behavior manifested by excessive bargaining and manipulating, social aggression, and deceit related to financial dealings that deviates markedly from the expectations of Western Culture.
Persianality disorders are inflexible and pervasive across many situations, due in large part to the fact that such behavior is ego-syntonic (i.e. the patterns are consistent with the ego integrity of the individual) and are, therefore, perceived to be appropriate by that individual. This behavior can result in the client adopting manipulative coping skills, which may lead to personal problems that induce extreme anxiety, distress and depression others.
Diagnosis of persianality disorders can be very subjective; however, inflexible and pervasive behavioral patterns often cause serious personal and social difficulties, as well as a general functional impairment. Rigid and ongoing patterns of feeling, thinking and behavior are said to be caused by underlying belief systems centering around the idea that everything is negotiable.
