This month we present answers to some commonly asked questions about the diagnosis of the DSM-III personality disorders: their diagnosis in children and adolescents, the overlap among some of the categories, the approach taken in defining borderline personality disorder, the classification of personality disorders that are related to axis I disorders, and alternative approaches to diagnosis in this area.

Questions about these and other aspects of DSM-III may be sent to. Dr. Williams at the New York State Psychiatric institute, 722 west 168th street, New York, New York 10032
