The 
Spectrum Illumis POURRITURE
â Typically dramatic and often seductive, histrionics make every attempt to impress with witty remarks and suggestive behaviors. Their interactions with others involve frequent interrupting or reframing of discussions to sustain themselves as the focus. Anything falling short of others' admiration or reverence toward themselves would inevitably invoke feelings of resentment and depression. Yet, these negative moods are fleeting when their relentless striving for approval prompts a more suitable affect. Once in conversation, they communicate with flamboyant headlines at the expense of substantive details. This bold pattern of expression is usually perpetuated by their physical appearance, whether it was their hairstyle, make-up, clothing, or a memorable combination of the sort. In the end, these people come across as the “life of the party.†- Millon et al., 2004 [3] âž |

DSM-IV-TR Criteria
DSM-5 Criteria
ICD-10 Criteria
|
| |
| Expressive Behavior: Dramatic | Is overreactive, volatile, provocative, and engaging, as well as intolerant of inactivity, resulting in impulsive, highly emotional, and theatrical responsiveness;describes penchant for momentary excitements, fleeting adventures, and shortsighted hedonism. |
| Interpersonal Conduct: Attention Seeking | Actively solicits praise and manipulates others to gain needed reassurance, attention, and approval; is demanding, flirtatious, vain, and seductively exhibitionistic, especially when wishing to be the center of attention. |
| Cognitive Style: Flighty | Avoids introspective thought, is overly suggestible, attentive to fleeting external events, and speaks in impressionistic generalities; integrates experiences poorly, resulting in scattered learning and thoughtless judgments. |
| Regulatory Mechanism: Dissociation | Regularly alters and recomposes self-presentations to create a succession of socially attractive but changing facades; engages in self-distracting activities to avoid reflecting on and integrating unpleasant thoughts and emotions. Sexualization is used to influence relationships, projection to deny this influence. Both are examples of massive repression. |
| |
| Self-Image: Gregarious | Views self as sociable, stimulating, and charming; enjoys the image of attracting acquaintances by physical appearance and by pursuing a busy and pleasure-oriented life. |
| Object-Representations: Shallow | Internalized representations are composed largely of superficial memories of past relations, random collections of transient and segregated affects and conflicts, as well as insubstantial drives and mechanisms. |
| Morphologic Organization: Disjointed | There exists a loosely knit and carelessly united morphologic structure in which processes of internal regulation and control are scattered and unintegrated, with ad hoc methods for restraining impulses, coordinating defenses, and resolving conflicts, leading to mechanisms that must, of necessity, be broad and sweeping to maintain psychic cohesion and stability, and, when successful, only further isolate and disconnect thoughts, feelings, and actions. |
| Mood/ Temperament: Fickle | Displays rapidly shifting and shallow emotions; is vivacious, animated, impetuous, and exhibits tendencies to be easily enthused and as easily angered or bored. [6] |

Hamburger et al. postulate that similar histories contribute to different results, noting that the research literature shows higher than expected rates of comorbidity between the histrionic and antisocial personalities and that histrionic males show a high rate of antisocial behavior. Moreover, both personalities show an interaction between gender and prevalence rate, with the histrionic personality being identified more frequently in females and the antisocial more frequently in males. Because the disorders share a number of characteristics, particularly lack of impulse control, stimulus-seeking behavior, and a deficient conscience, these authors assert that both personalities represent different expressions of the same underlying problem:psychopathy. If so, females with psychopathic genes would be disposed to develop a histrionic personality, and males with psychopathic genes would be disposed to develop an antisocial personality.[3]

Appeasing (with dependent and compulsive features) histrionics seeks to placate, mend, patch up,and smooth over troubles. They possess a knack for settling differences, moderating tempers by yielding, compromising, and conceding. They sacrifice themselves for commendation; fruitlessly placating the unplacatable.
Disingenuous (with antisocial features) histrionics are underhanded, double-dealing, scheming, contriving, plotting, crafty, and false-hearted. They are egocentric, insincere, deceitful, calculating and guileful.
Infantile (with borderline features) histrionics are labile and high-strung, experiencing volatile emotions.They have a childlike hysteria and nascent pouting. Demanding and overwrought, they fasten and clutch toanother. They are overly attached, hang on, staying fused to and clinging.
Tempestuous (with negativistic features) histrionics are impulsive and out of control. Moody complaints are common, along with sulking. They experience precipitous emotion, and are stormy, impassioned, easily wrought-up, periodically inflamed, and turbulent.
Theatrical histrionics are affected, mannered, and put-on. Marketing their self-appearance, their postures are striking, eyecatching, and graphic. They are synthesized, stagy, constantly simulating desirable and dramatic poses.
Vivacious (with narcissistic features) histrionics are vigorous, charming, bubbly, brisk, spirited, flippant, and impulsive; seeking momentary cheerfulness and playful adventures. They are animated, energetic, and ebullient. [5]
