Abstract

In the previous issues of the journal psychiatrists’ discussion on questions related to the medicalization of moral choices and nonconventional behavior has started. This article contains answers to Dr. I. Zislin objections to the arguments put forward by me about the antiscientific concept of “personality disorders.” There are additional facts demonstrating the theoretical unprovability of the concept, inadequacy of the diagnostic criteria and the harm caused by the application of the “personality disorder” category in practical psychiatry.
