The Dangerous and Severe Personality Disorder (DSPD) initiative was introduced a decade ago against overwhelming opposition from psychiatrists and others concerned with the implications of extending the public protection agenda through the use of a questionable medical 'diagnosis'. As this initiative is now being scaled down, it offers an opportunity to consider the positive and negative aspects of the initiative together with its longer-term legacy.
危险和严重人格障碍（DSPD）计划在十年前推出，当时遭到精神病学家和其他关注通过使用有问题的医学“诊断”来扩大公共保护议程的人的强烈反对。由于该计划正在缩小规模，现在是一起考虑该计划的积极和消极方面及其更长期影响的机会。
