Abstract: In this article people with depressive, dependent and obsessive-compulsive personality disorder and people without personality disorder are compared in regard of the suppression of aggression that shows itself in physical symptoms (i.e. nail biting) or in the interpersonal behaviour (lack of assertiveness). The data from the sample (138 people from psychiatric ambulatory care unit) were got with a self-evaluation questionnaire for personality disorders. The results show significant differences between obsessive-compulsive disorded and persons without any personality disorder in regard of the presence of symptoms and significant differences between depressive and dependent disorded persons in comparation with people without any personality disorder in regard of the presence of symptoms and behaviour patterns. The data also suggest, that people with dependent personality disorder show a higher degree of supression of aggression in behaviour patterns than people with depressive personality disorder and that the people with depressive personality disorder show a higher degree of supression of aggression in behaviour patterns as people with obsessive-compulsive personality disorder. There were no significant differences between different personality disorded persons regarding symptoms of aggressive suppression. The aim of this article is in better differential diagnostics between personality disorders mentioned.
