This paper examines two main concepts in the diagnosis of personality disorders: categorical and dimensional. It presents historical aspects of the study of personality disorders, describes the characteristics of the normative level of personality functioning, pathological personality traits, and an understanding of the nature of personality disorders. A critical review of the literature has been con-ducted, and the main theoretical postulates of the categorical approach to the diagnosis of personality disorders within various classifications have been de-scribed. (DSM-5, ICD-10, etc.) are presented, the clinical heterogeneity of the manifestations of various personality disorders is shown, and the shortcomings of the categorical approach are pointed out. The necessity of transitioning to a dimensional approach in the diagnosis and study of clinical manifestations of personality disorders is justified.

The sphere of interest of many scientific studies is the study of «high-tech» addictions. One of the particular forms of this type of addictive disorder is smartphone addiction. Currently, there is an expansive increase in the prevalence of smartphones on various hardware and software platforms. The authors of the article wonder whether smartphone addiction can be a form of behavioral addiction or it can be considered a part of the «problematic» use by healthy people? To solve this problem, this review examines the correlation relationship between substantive and behavioral addictions based on existing criteria for diagnosing addictive disorders, and also outlines the socio-cultural boundaries of smartphones use.
