Currently personality disorders are diagnosed by the recognition of a set of diagnostic criteria. Within both DSM-IV and ICD-10 personality disorders are described as a mixture of both psychological traits and overt behaviours. Each diagnostic system describes the concept of personality disorder upon which subsequent specific diagnoses should be based. DSM-IV describes a personality disorder as an enduring pattern of inner experience and behaviour that deviates markedly from the expectations of the individuals culture, is pervasive and inflexible, has an onset in adolescence or early adulthood, is stable over time, and leads to distress or impairment.. The specific personality disorders are then grouped into three clusters based on descriptive similarities. Cluster A disorders are described as odd or eccentric, Cluster B as dramatic, emotional, or erratic, and Cluster C as anxious or fearful. However, this clustering system has been found to have limited validity, although has been ...

Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) has been proposed as a useful treatment for a wide range of clients with symptoms functionally similar to those of borderline personality disorder (BPD), having in common pervasive emotion dysregulation. There is a set of personality disorders belonging to cluster C (DSM-IV-TR, APA, 2000) that represent the dialectical opposite of BPD and related disorders. These disorders are characterized also by difficulties in emotion regulation: being emotionally constricted, overcontrolled, cognitively rigid, and behaviorally avoidant; and include obsessive-compulsive personality disorder (OCPD) and avoidant personality disorder (APD). These features are opposite to the features of BPD (i.e., emotional constriction vs emotional dysregulation, overcontrolled behavior vs impulsive behavior, etc.). DBT could be a useful approach for the treatment of these disorders, given that its main targets are emotion regulation difficulties. In this work we present preliminary findings ...

The aims of the present study were to examine the frequency of personality disorders in 36 patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and to investigate whether patients with a coexisting personality disorder could be characterized by certain personality traits assessed by means of the Karolinska Scales of Personality (KSP). In total, 27 (75%) of the OCD patients fulfilled the DSM-III-R criteria for a personality disorder, and 13 patients (36%) had an obsessive-compulsive personality disorder. Subjects with a comorbid personality disorder had significantly higher scores on most of the KSP scales, including all anxiety scales, as well as scales measuring indirect aggression, irritability, guilt and detachment, whereas subjects without personality disorders did not differ significantly from healthy controls with regard to personality traits.. ...

Early exposure to trauma is a known risk factor for personality disorder (PD), but evidence for late-onset personality pathology following trauma in adults is much less clear. We set out to investigate whether exposure to war trauma can lead to lasting personality pathology in adults and to compare the mental health and social functioning of people with late-onset personality problems with those with PD. We recruited patients who scored positively on the International Personality Disorder Examination (IPDE) in southern Croatia 15 years after the Croatian war of independence and used a semi-structured interview to establish when the persons personality-related problems arose. All participants also completed Harvard Trauma Questionnaire, and measures of mental health and social functioning. Among 182 participants with probable personality disorder, 65 (35.7%) reported that these problems started after exposure to war-trauma as adults. The most prevalent personality problems among those with late-onset

Personality Disorders are a large category of disorders. A personality disorder impacts all aspects of a persons life including social, emotional, cognitive, and behavioral functioning. Each disorder within this category is unique. However, several personality disorders can be easily confused with adult ADHD particularly Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), Narcissistic Personality Disorder, and Antisocial Personality Disorder. This represents a group of disorders that share some similar-looking symptoms with ADHD. These symptoms include: disorganization, social intrusiveness, impulsivity, and emotional dysregulation. As previously mentioned, individuals with ADHD are disorganized. They are often depressed and/or irritable. Their moods can shift frequently, and they act impulsively.. Despite these similarities, these three personality disorders are different from ADHD in several significant ways. First, a person with ADHD will exhibit momentary impulsivity, without much advance warning. In ...

INTRODUCTION: Research has suggested an association between personality factors and awareness in patients with dementia, yet valid measurement of premorbid personality is problematic. The present study aimed to better reveal the relationship between premorbid personality and awareness by using improved methodology. Moreover, the study aims to contrast the strength of the relationship of premorbid personality and awareness with that of cognitive factors. METHODS: Awareness of illness, symptoms, mnemonic and behavioural impairments, and treatment compliance were measured in 27 patients with mild-to-moderate Alzheimers disease (AD) diagnosed by standard criteria for probable AD. Participant premorbid personality was measured using average retrospective Neuroticism-Extroversion-Openness Inventory (NEO-FFI) scores from two informants. Correlations were performed to investigate the relationship between awareness and personality dimensions, as well as measures of cognitive style, neuropsychological function,

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.. Personality disorders are a form of mental disorder. They are characterised by a long-term pattern of serious behavioural differences that significantly affect the functioning of the individual in personal and social situations. Personality disorders are represented on Axis II of the DSM-IV, and are particularly controversial because they often seem sexist, and because their comorbidity rate is excessively high, indictative of poor categorization.. The ten types of personality disorders that have been defined are:. Cluster A (odd or eccentric disorders). ...

Although perinatal factors are associated with the development of several psychiatric disorders, it is unknown whether these factors are linked with personality disorder. Cases of personality disorder were drawn from a national registry of all forensic psychiatric evaluations (n = 150). Two control groups were used: (1) A sample of forensic evaluations without any psychiatric disorder (n = 97) allowing for a nested case-control investigation; and (2) A population-based sample matched by age and gender with no history of psychiatric hospitalization (n = 1498). Prematurity (|37 weeks of completed gestation) was significantly associated with a diagnosis of personality disorder, both in the nested and the population-based case-control comparisons with adjusted odds ratios (OR) for this risk factor ranging from 2 to 4. Asphyxia (adjusted OR = 2.4, 95% CI: 1.4-4.1) and complicated delivery (adjusted OR = 1.5, 1.0-2.1) were associated with personality disorder in the population-based study, and the former

Avoidant personality disorder (sometimes abbreviated APD or AvPD) is a personality disorder characterised by a pervasive pattern of social inhibition, feelings of inadequacy, and extreme sensitivity to negative evaluation. People with avoidant personality disorder often consider themselves to be socially inept or personally unappealing, and avoid social interaction for fear of being ridiculed or humiliated.

Aims and method To assess the contents and the theoretical and empirical base of community mental healthcare (CMHC) for people with severe personality disorder. Medline and PsycINFO databases and handbooks were searched from 1980, as well as a recent meta-analysis and systematic review of trials in which CMHC served as the control condition. Results Community mental healthcare is a long-term community-based treatment within a supportive atmosphere, aimed at stability rather than change. Mostly offered by community psychiatric nurses, occupational therapists and social workers, it lacks a formal structure, as well as theoretical underpinnings that guide interventions. Clinical implications Community mental healthcare might profit from a more systematic application of effective ingredients from other treatments ...

Personality Disorders by Clusters A, B, and C. There are four core features that are common to all personality disorders. They are: distorted thinking, problematic emotional response, over-or-under-regubted impulse control, and interpersonal difficulties. In order to be diagnosed with a specific personality disorder, a person must meet the minimum number of criteria established for that disorder. To meet the diagnostic requirements for a psychiatric disorder, the symptoms must cause functional impaiment and/or subjective distress which mean the symptoms are distressing to the person with the disorder and/or the symptoms make it difficult for them to function well in society. Personality disorders can be grouped into three clusters based on similarities within each cluster. These clusters are:. Cluster A (the odd, eccentric cluster);. Cluster B (the dramatic, emotional, erratic cluster); and,. Cluster C (the anxious, fearful cluster). Clutter A includes Paranoid Pe/sona/i/y Disorder, ...

Release: June 10, 1999. UI researchers develop efficient personality disorder screen. IOWA CITY, Iowa -- The diagnosis of personality disorders usually involves a lengthy and expensive interview, making it unwieldy for routine use. However, a brief yet sensitive test developed by University of Iowa Health Care researchers shows promise as a quick and effective substitute.. Personality disorder screens are used in both research and clinical settings to determine whether people have lifelong personality traits that cause persistent or recurrent problems in their personal, social or occupational lives. The Iowa Personality Disorder Screen (IPDS) is an interview of up to 19 questions and covers 11 different symptoms that seem to be at the core of personality disorders. The IPDS takes only five minutes to administer, in marked contrast to much longer, comprehensive interviews that consist of more than 100 questions and take hours to complete.. We hope the screen will allow for more efficient ...

article{4415776, abstract = {Research on the applicability of the five factor model (FFM) to capture personality pathology coincided with the development of a FFM personality disorder (PD) count technique, which has been validated in adolescent, young, and middle-aged samples. This study extends the literature by validating this technique in an older sample. Five alternative FFM PD counts based upon the Revised NEO Personality Inventory (NEO PI-R) are computed and evaluated in terms of both convergent and divergent validity with the Assessment of DSM-IV Personality Disorders Questionnaire (shortly ADP-IV; DSM-IV, Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders - Fourth edition). For the best working count for each PD normative data are presented, from which cut-off scores are derived. The validity of these cut-offs and their usefulness as a screening tool is tested against both a categorical (i.e., the DSM-IV - Text Revision), and a dimensional (i.e., the Dimensional Assessment of ...

CONCLUSIONS: A constellation of symptoms can be identified that may distinguish AVPD from SAD, with key features being a strong and pervasively negative self-concept, a view of rejection as equating to a global evaluation of the individual as being of little worth and a sense of not fitting in socially that dates from early childhood. It is important to identify the presence of AVPD in order to an...

Before booking a place on a workshop, please ensure that it is pitched at the appropriate level of competence for you. The guide to levels is as follows:. Basic. Basic workshops are for people from a variety of backgrounds, who have at least one years clinical experience. Cognitive behavioural knowledge is not necessary for attendance at these workshops, though in practice, a number of attendees will have some skills in the area, and are refreshing/updating their knowledge.. Intermediate. Intermediate workshops are directed towards people who already have knowledge of CBT, and experience in using cognitive formulations and treatment methods - for instance, they are able to identify and test automatic thoughts, and design behavioural experiments. Most participants will be using CBT as part of their clinical practice, and may still be acquiring new CBT skills.. Advanced. Advanced courses are directed towards those professionals who use CBT routinely as part of their clinical practice. They have ...

The co-morbidity of mental illness with personality disorder is a controversial topic, made difficult by disagreement over diagnosis and the fundamentals of personality structure. However, there would appear to be four possible points of view:. 1Personality disorder and mental illness cannot exist simultaneously. This position perhaps provides the weakest argument, with little empirical evidence. However, the process of medical diagnosis perhaps implies that each is mutually exclusive.. 2 All mentally ill people have a personality disorder. This may have some validity, as there is increasing evidence that those people with a mental illness may have a biological vulnerability, which may include some personal characteristics. However, the evidence for this position seems to suggest that those personality differences are not of a severity to enable a diagnosis of personality disorder.. 3 Some personality disordered people will develop mental illness but that each can occur separately. This view is ...

Due to the stubborn and rigid nature of obsessive-compulsive personality disorder, attempts for long term change of personality characteristics are often futile. Instead, treatment should focus on the use of cognitive or behavioral therapies to identify sources of stress and to learn adequate coping skills (The American Psychiatric Association, 2013). Specifically, cognitive-behavioral and psychodynamic approaches in combination with social skills training appear to be the most effective forms of treatment (Simon, 2009). One method of approach for teaching coping strategies to those diagnosed with obsessive-compulsive personality disorder is to focus on metacognition. By assisting patients in learning to identify the patterns of thought that trigger their stress, symptoms and interpersonal functioning can be significantly improved (Dimaggio et al., 2011). In one study, it was noted that individuals with obsessive-compulsive personality disorder who experienced minor disruptions in the ...

Despite of what you may read in some places, narcissistic personality disorder is not treatable. There is no known medication that can cure this disorder. It is common for a psychiatrist to prescribe antidepressants, but these are prescribed to tame co-occurring depression, anxiety or other co-occurring conditions, usually caused by narcissistic trauma. Pathological narcissism is not curable per se. That said, there are ways to ease the impact of this disorder on them & people affected by them by psychodynamic talk therapy, more so educational psychotherapy with some twists.

Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) is the clinical term for narcissism. It was added as a mental health category to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM) in 1980. NPD is one of a family of personality disorders (known as Cluster B). (Other Cluster B personality disorders include Borderline, Antisocial, and Histrionic.). It is estimated that 0.7-1% of the general population suffer from NPD. Most narcissists (75%) are men.. NPD is often diagnosed with other mental health disorders (co-morbidity) ? or with substance abuse, or impulsive and reckless behaviors (dual diagnosis).. There is only scant research regarding pathological narcissism. But what there is has not demonstrated any ethnic, social, cultural, economic, genetic, or professional predilection to NPD.. The onset of narcissism is in infancy, childhood and early adolescence. It is commonly attributed to childhood abuse and trauma inflicted by parents, authority figures, or even peers.. There is a whole range of ...

Dependent personality disorder (DPD), formerly known as asthenic personality disorder, is a personality disorder that is characterized by a pervasive psychological dependence on other people. This personality disorder is a long-term condition in which people depend on others to meet their emotional and physical needs, with only a minority achieving normal levels of independence. The cause of dependent personality disorder is unknown. A study in 2012 estimated that between 55% and 72% of the risk of the condition is inherited from ones parents. The difference between a dependent personality and a dependent personality disorder is somewhat subjective, which makes diagnosis sensitive to cultural influences such as gender role expectations. Dependent personality disorder occurs in about 0.6% of the general population. The disorder is diagnosed more often in females than males; however, research suggests that this is largely due to behavioural differences in interviews and self-reporting rather ...

Borderline personality disorder often occurs with other illnesses. This is called co-morbidity or having co-occurring disorders. This can make it hard to diagnose, especially if symptoms of other illnesses overlap with the BPD symptoms.. According to the NIMH-funded National Comorbidity Survey Replication-the largest national study to date of mental disorders in U.S. adults-about 85 percent of people with BPD also suffer from another mental illness.5 Over half the BPD population suffers from Major Depressive Disorder. When depression and BPD co-occur, the depression often does not lift (even with medication), until the borderline personality disorder symptoms improve.. Women with BPD are more likely to have co-occurring disorders such as major depression, anxiety disorders, substance abuse or eating disorders.

Tenderness is the language of the young children, of those who need the other. A childs love for mom and dad grows through their touch, their gaze, their voice, their tenderness.

To back this up I wrote the book Faultfinders: The impact of borderline personality disorder. I explained the condition using examples of numerous famous people to make the symptoms memorable. One of the examples was Brandon Marshall. I would be interested to hear what others think about a possible name change. ...

Schwartz has heard some argue that there must be a more thoughtful and nuanced version of Donald Trump that he is keeping in reserve for after the campaign. There isnt, Schwartz insists. There is no private Trump… He kept a journal in which he expressed amazement at Trumps personality, writing that Trump seemed driven entirely by a need for attention…Lying is second nature to him…More than anyone else I have ever met, Trump has the ability to convince himself that whatever he is saying at any given moment is true, or sort of true, or at least ought to be true...He lied strategically. He had a complete lack of conscience about it... Truthful hyperbole is a contradiction in terms. Its a way of saying, Its a lie, but who cares? ...
