“For the ICD-11, there is a scale of the severity of personality pathology that ranges from “personality difficulty” to “mild,” “moderate,” and “severe” personality disorder, which represent⟳ the only personality disorder “diagnoses” in the system. The designation of “personality difficulty” (subthreshold for a personality disorder), as well as the three levels of personality disorder, can all be amplified by these trait specifiers: negative affectivity, detachment, dissociality, disinhibition, or anankastia.”
