Haltlose personality disorder is an ICD-10 personality disorder in which affected individuals are selfish, irresponsible and hedonistic. "Haltlos" is a German word which means drifting, aimless, irresponsible.

These people have many similarities in common with dissocial personality disorder and its DSM counterpart antisocial personality disorder. Characteristics of these personalities are:

  • have a strong present time orientation with no long-term goals.
  • have no conscientiousness or concentration;
  • do not feel remorse or learn from experience.

    • They are typically overoptimistic, have charm and are easily persuaded, features in common with histrionic personality disorder.

    Many Haltlose are alcoholics and associate with antisocials.
