This research paper shows the results of a case and control study which aims to characterize a repertoire of based beleliefs, values and prototypical irrational concepts in the recorded clinical histories of 30 patients afflicted with histrionic personality disorder and whom were diagnosed as such in the region of Bucaramanga (Colombia). Through the MCMI-III and SCID II, individual structured interviews and self-reported beliefs, concepts and irrational values of histrionic disorder were applied to patients being classified in two groups (diagnosed and control group), ratifying the results as follows: 5 values, 12 concepts and 15 irrational beliefs that were characteristic of patient groups with the disorder, with X²=43.642, with a p<0.001 and gl=29 was lower than expected (X²=58.302). There were also no differences by gender, because we found that X²=28.765, which was a p<0.001 and gl=14, lower than expected as well: X²=36.123.
