Abstract
We welcome Hopwood’s timely analysis and fully concur with his emphasis on interpersonal dynamics as central to personality development.

We place even greater emphasis on the interpersonal, arguing personality and PD is largely in the eye of the beholder: the stability of personality and rigidity of PD are relational phenomena.
