Two dimensions of maladaptive PS.

Maladaptive PS
Situational	Organized	Disorganized
Persistent	Organized	Disorganized

Maladaptive PSs can be categorized in two dimensions. First, whether they have arisen in (poorly matched) response to the present situation, or whether they are chronic, persisting unresolved from a previous situation. Second, whether (despite being maladaptive) they are organized (retaining coherent goal organization), or whether they are disorganized (competing PSs arising simultaneously).
