In this paper I propose a classification of character pathology in the attempt (1) to establish psychoanalytic criteria for differential diagnoses among different types and degrees of severity of character
pathology; (2) to clarify the relationship between a descriptive characterological diagnosis and a metapsychological, especially structural, analysis; and (3) to arrange subgroups of character pathology according to their degree of severity.
