Excerpt
DSM-5 (American Psychiatric Association 2013) describes three Cluster C personality disorders (see Boxes Table, Table, and Table): avoidant personality disorder (AvPD), dependent personality disorder (DPD), and obsessive-compulsive personality disorder (OCPD). These personality disorders generally have less impairment than Cluster A and B personality disorders. Arguably, two personality disorder types, depressive and passive-aggressive, described in DSM-IV-TR (American Psychiatric Association 2000) Appendix B (“Criteria Sets and Axes Provided for Further Study”), as well as one, self-defeating (masochistic), described in Appendix B of DSM-III-R (American Psychiatric Association 1987), could also be included but are mentioned only in passing.
