[...] Endast 23% uppfyller inte kriterierna för en personlighetsstörning. Detta visar en alldeles färsk studie från Storbrittanien. Om 77% av befolkningen är personlighetsstörda, är det då sjukt att vara psykiskt frisk? Eller är det kanske så att vi i dagens samhälle är alltför snabba med att kalla sådant som är ganska friskt för sjukt? Läs mer detta och om studien på den eminenta psykbloggen Mind Hacks. [...]

Let's build together free and better alternatives to the state-corporate treadmill. Let's free our minds, our bodies, and not least of all our sexualities. In truth all of these are part and parcel of one another. How can we maximize our freedom in all respects, rather than only a few?

This doesn’t really make sense. Summary says the 77% figure supports their hypothesis, but how can a number that high have any significance? Why would they want to abandon the current DSM criteria in favor of an alternative system that finds personality pathology in a majority of the population?
