Ideally people continue to grow and change throughout their life.
Successful adjustment through the life cycle is mostly a matter of flexibility
adapting to the changing demands, opportunities and limitations associated
with different ages of life. For most of us, our personality is attained to the
demands of society. But for some individuals, personality formation has led to
some traits that are so inflexible and maladaptive that they are unable to
perform adequately at least some of the varied roles expected of them by their
societies. These people might be diagnosed as having personality disorders,
which were formerly known as character disorders.
