Glad you were able to find something. I agree the copyright on the DSM-V is somewhat of a shame. I'd only add what Wikipedia adds: "It is a requirement of ICD-10 that a diagnosis of any specific personality disorder also satisfies a set of [general personality disorder criteria](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personality_disorder#Diagnosis). It is also pointed out that for different cultures it may be necessary to develop specific sets of criteria with regard to social norms, rules and obligations."

@caseyr547 How so, what is wrong about it? Do they actually have a copy available online for public reference?

I realize this _could_ be closed as _"Off topic because it can be answered using commonly-available references"_, but considering it's a $120 dollar book, it's not usually something the average Joe keeps on the shelf, and I would therefore argue against being "commonly available".

What then do you want to know that's not [on Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paranoid_personality_disorder#Diagnosis) and not [copyrighted (all rights reserved)](http://www.dsm5.org/Pages/PermissionsPolicy.aspx)?

@NickStauner I was not aware of their strict copyright adherence; I assumed since it was a diagnostic tool, the information would be more "open", and I just didn't know where to find it.

@caseyr547 Yeah, thanks, I did. I had an inkling it would be deleted, so I saved a copy once I saw you posted it.

Sadly, the DSM 5 is under [a very strict copyright](http://www.dsm5.org/Pages/PermissionsPolicy.aspx).

However, there is a list of PPD requirements in the ICD-10 that is publicly available online:

* [ICD-10: F60.0 Paranoid personality disorder](http://apps.who.int/classifications/icd10/browse/2010/en#/F60.0)

That section of the manual describes Paranoid Personality Disorder as follows:

> **F60.0 Paranoid personality disorder**
>
> Personality disorder characterized by excessive sensitivity to setbacks, unforgiveness of insults; suspiciousness and a tendency to distort experience by misconstruing the neutral or friendly actions of others as hostile or contemptuous; recurrent suspicions, without justification, regarding the sexual fidelity of the spouse or sexual partner; and a combative and tenacious sense of personal rights. There may be excessive self-importance, and there is often excessive self-reference.
