What is the dx when persons refer to themselves by name rather than by pronoun . Example - Rather than say - I don't like beans" the person will say Jack doesn't like beans. Other example - rather than say I don't date older women - he says - Jack doesn't date older women?

AXIS II is a personality disorder. The above figure of speech does not necessarily mean they have a personality disorder. To make that diagnosis you look at how the person makes their way in the world with particularly focus on the quality of their relationship. do they split? Are they labile? Are they impetuous? do they disassociate? If someone you know talks like that consistently and is not joking, than an exploration to rule out a disorder my be in order.

The DSM-IV seems to want to label every little aberration a new disorder. I overheard my neighbor Kathy the other day saying, "Kathy doesn't iron." It's a common construction. However, I'd want to look at my client's perception of himself if he habitually refers to himself in the third person.
