Immature Personality Disorder (IPD[4]) is an ICD-10 diagnosis characterized by lack of emotional development, low tolerance of stress and anxiety, inability to accept personal responsibility, and reliance on age-inappropriate defense mechanisms.[4] The disorder has been "gaining prominence"[5][better source needed] in the 21st century.[6] It is listed under "F60.8 Other specific personality disorders".[7] A study in Denmark found that together, these 6 "Other" types constituted 2.4% of all personality disorder diagnoses.[8]

While borderline personality disorder is the most common personality disorder among those who commit non-suicidal self-harm, the overall rate of deliberate self-harm is highest among those with immature personality disorder.[9]

It has been noted for displaying "an absence of mental disability",[4] and demonstrating "ineffectual responses to social, psychological and physical demands."[10]

Mechanics[]

IPD involves a weakness of the ego, which limits the ability to restrain impulses or properly model anxiety.[4][better source needed] They fail to integrate the aggressive and libidinal factors at play in other people, and thus are not able to parse their own experiences.[4]

It can be caused by a neurobiological immaturity of brain functioning, or through a childhood trauma, or other means.[4]

In law and custom[]

In the 1980s, it was noted that immature personality disorder was one of the most common illnesses invoked by the Roman Catholic Church in order to facilitate annulment of undesired marriages.[11]

In 1978, David Augustine Walton was tried in Barbados for killing two passers by who had offered his mother and girlfriend a ride following an argument, and pleaded diminished capacity resulting from his immature personality disorder; he was nevertheless convicted of murder.[12]

In 1989, a former employee of the Wisconsin Department of Transportation had his claim of discrimination dismissed, after alleging that his employment had been terminated due to his Immature Personality Disorder alongside a sexual fetish in which he placed chocolate bars under the posteriors of women whose driving capabilities he was testing.[13]

A 1994 Australian case regarding unemployment benefits noted that while "mere personal distaste for certain work is not relevant, but a condition (such as immature personality disorder) may foreclose otherwise suitable prospects".[14]

In 2017, an individual whose sole diagnosis was Immature Personality Disorder was allowed to die through Belgian euthanasia laws that require a medical diagnosis of a life-long condition that could impair well-being.[15]
