The right answer is significant impairment or adaptive failure in the client's sense of self and his / her ability to engage ineffective interpersonal functioning. Personality disorders are characterized by behavioral, social and work behavior that is disadactive for the culture in which they live so that their behavior generates difficulties in different aspects of everyday life. However, the person does not perceive that their personality is a problem and does not want to change it.

I hope my answer can help you.
