Haltlose personality disorder is an ICD-10 personality disorder in which affected individuals are selfish, irresponsible and hedonistic.[citation needed] "Haltlos" is a German word that in this context refers to a drifting, floundering, aimless, irresponsible lifestyle.[1]
Affected individuals have many similarities in common with dissocial personality disorder and its DSM counterpart antisocial personality disorder.[citation needed] Characteristics of these personalities are:
- have a strong present time orientation with no long-term goals
- have no conscientiousness or concentration
- do not feel remorse or learn from experience
They are typically over-optimistic, have charm and are easily persuaded, features in common with histrionic personality disorder.[citation needed]
Many Haltlose are alcoholics and associate with antisocial individuals.[1]
