Histronic Personality Disorder (HPD) is a personality disorder characterized by a pattern of excesive emotionality and attention-seeking, including an excessive need for approval and inappropriate seductiveness, usually begininning in early adulthood.
The essential feature of histronic personality disorder is an excessive pattern of emotionality and attention-seeking behavior. These individuals are lively, dramatic, enthusiastic, and flirtatious. They may be inappropriately sexually provocative, express strong emotions with an impressionistic style, and be easily influences by others.
Women with HPD are described as self-centered, self-indulgent, and intensely dependent on others. They are emotionally labile and cling to others in the context of immature relationships. Females with HPD over-identify with others; they project their own unrealistic, fantasized intentions onto people with whom they are involved. They are emotionally shallow to avoid distress and have difficulty understanding themselves or others in any depth. Selection of marital or sexual partners is often highly inappropriate. Women with HPD often tend to enter into abusive relationships with partners who increase the abuse as time wears on. Women with HPD will usually show inappropriate and intense anger masking their internal battle between the quest for intimacy and avoiding pathology. They may engage in self-mutilation and/or manipulative suicide threats as one aspect of general pathological interpersonal behavior.
