I have attempted to clarify the clinical usage of the concept of character. I have examined such terms as character trait, character, and character disorder. I have described various schemes of classification, and have proposed key definitions for the above terms. I have described the unique aspect of character, that is, its capacity to establish a relation between a superficial attribute and a deep structure. Finally, I have suggested that character represents the core of the individual from a particular point of view--a precipitate of a person's relations to the outside world.
我试图阐明性格这一概念的临床应用。我研究了诸如性格特质、性格和性格障碍等术语。我描述了各种分类方案，并为上述术语提出了关键定义。我描述了性格的独特方面，即它在表面属性和深层结构之间建立联系的能力。最后，我提出从特定角度来看，性格代表了个体的核心——一个人与外部世界关系的沉淀。
