Common card · No. 239106

Passive–aggressive personality disorder (PAPD), also called negativistic personality disorder, is a type of personality disorder characterized by procrastination, covert obstructionism, inefficiency, and stubbornness. Passive–aggressive behavior is the obligatory symptom of the passive–aggressive personality disorder. This disorder was included in previous editions of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, but it has been absent since the introduction of the DSM-5. The previous edition – the DSM-IV – describes passive–aggressive personality disorder as a proposed disorder involving a "pervasive pattern of negativistic attitudes and passive resistance to demands for adequate performance" in a variety of contexts.
