International Society for the Study of Personality Disorders (ISSPD)

The International Society for the Study of Personality Disorders (ISSPD) is a global organization dedicated to advancing understanding, assessment, and treatment of personality disorders—complex mental health conditions characterized by enduring patterns of behavior, thoughts, and feelings that deviate from cultural expectations and cause distress or difficulty. The society promotes research, clinical practice, and education to improve outcomes for individuals affected by these disorders. By fostering collaboration among professionals worldwide, the ISSPD aims to develop more effective diagnostic tools and therapies, ultimately enhancing the quality of life for those with personality disorders.
