SP - 2550 EP - 2555 VL - 45 IS - 20 N2 - The hysteric personality disorder is characterized by: 1. an intense need for affection; it is a child-like need, seeking protection and affection, making the patient subject to suggestibility and dependence, along with an erotic behaviour which is in reality associated to fear of sexuality; 2. an exaggerated and rapidly shifting expression of emotion leading to unstable, theatrical and histrionic expression of emotions giving an impression of shallowness and lack of authenticity; 3. a highly imaginative thinking pattern with flight of reality and tendency to dreaming, mythomania, memory reconstruction.
