Extractions: What are Personality Disorders? People suffering from personality disorders often have problems in many areas of their lives, including social skills, moods, and emotional states. People with these disorders have difficulty establishing normal, healthy relationships. In many of the disorders, sufferers lack the ability to have genuine emotions including empathy for others. In some disorders, sufferers have no desire to have social relationships or they want relationships, but are scared to reach out to people.

Extractions: BehaveNet Personality Disorder (APA DSM-IV DSM-IV-TR Axis II Everyone has a personality with character traits such as stinginess, generosity, arrogance and independence. But when these traits are rigid and self-defeating, they may interfere with functioning and even lead to psychiatric symptoms . Personality traits are formed by early adulthood, persist throughout life and affect every aspect of day to day behavior. Individuals with personality disorders often blame others for their problems. Although professionals identify distinct personality disorders (anti-social, borderline, schizotypal, et al), some personality disordered individuals may not fit in a particular category and yet may clearly deserve this label. Although classified as mental disorders they may be classified separately and distinguished from the Axis I Clinical Syndromes for some purposes. General diagnostic criteria for a Personality Disorder cautionary statement A. An enduring pattern of inner experience and behavior that deviates markedly from the expectations of the individual's culture. This pattern is manifested in two (or more) of the following areas: cognition (i.e., ways of perceiving and interpreting self, other people, and events)

http://www.homestead.com/narcissism/

Extractions: The NPA theory of personality was developed by the author on the basis of concepts presented over fifty years ago by psychiatrist Karen Horney. The theory posits three major behavioral traits underlying personality: Narcissism (N), Perfectionism (P) and Aggression (A), leading to the formulation of discrete character types. Each trait is based on a major pleiotropic gene (a gene determining several related characteristics) that follows the rules of Mendelian genetics. The mode of transmission of the traits was deduced from archetypal family pedigrees. The traits N and A were found to be high frequency recessive, with P being dominant. The trait of perfectionism is not a basic drive of ambition and is not associated with a rage reaction. Rather it is a mediator of the unbridled drives of aggression and/or narcissism. The stereotypic acts associated with the trait of perfectionism are obsessiveness, compulsiveness, repetition, and the maintenance of neatness, order and symmetry. A clue to the nature of the trait lies in the compulsive, repetitive mannerisms

http://www.soulselfhelp.on.ca/odisorders.html

Extractions: Personality Disorders are generalized, inflexible patterns of inner experience and behavior. These patterns significantly differ from cultural expectations, and begin in adolescence or early adulthood. Personality Disorders are long-term, maladaptive patterns of perception, emotional regulation, anxiety, and impulse control. They can lead to enormous personal and societal costs, including lost productivity, hospitalizations, significant unhappiness, imprisonment, and suicide. Personality Disorders are among the least understood and recognized disorders in both psychiatry and general medical care. Ironically, as a group of disorders, they are among the most common of the severe mental disorders, and occur frequently with other illnesses (e.g., substance use disorders, mood disorders, anxiety disorders). Many imprisoned individuals also have a diagnosable personality disorder.

Extractions: personality disorders By Gail Hendrickson, RN, BS Personality disorders are chronic mental disorders. People with these disorders have behaviors that make it hard for them to function in society. Affected people usually do not learn from mistakes and do not adapt well to changes in their lives. These disorders usually start before or during the teenage years. What is going on in the body? Most people can live fairly normal lives with mild disorders. But when stress increases, symptoms often increase and begin to interfere with the person's ability to function. What are the signs and symptoms of the condition? Each personality disorder has different symptoms. People with these disorders have long-standing troubles in their relationships. Problems at work are also common. There are many different personality disorders, including these: paranoid affected people think others are out to get them schizoid affected people are "loners" and prefer to be alone schizotypal affected people have very strange thoughts and beliefs histrionic affected people are very emotional and dramatic narcissistic affected people are very self-centered and think they are better than others antisocial affected people lack a conscience, take advantage of others, and refuse to obey the laws of society

http://www.hhb.infoxchange.net.au/hhb41.htm

Extractions: [Previous Page] [Next Page] [Table of Contents/Search] Personality disorders differ from psychiatric illness in that they are enduring, stable, pervasive and inflexible traits established in adolescence or early adulthood and generally not amenable to formal psychiatric treatment. Without listing all the varieties of personality disorder, it can be said that one cluster includes the odd and eccentric, another the dramatic, emotional or erratic, and another the anxious or fearful. Such people often have many personal and marital problems, including suicidal ideas or a history of suicide attempts, and alcohol and substance abuse. Their history often shows a high use of psychiatric and social services. Many of these people, particularly those who are difficult to manage or who are seen as a 'nuisance' to services, may in the past have unfortunately been labelled as manipulative, attention seeking or personality disordered. This labelling often inhibits a full assessment of their physical, social and psychological needs, and so reduces their access to needed services. It may be better to describe to the health service the difficult behaviours presented by a person and what you perceive their needs to be. In this way some agreement may be negotiated with the service to elicit from your client the necessary acceptable behaviour, in exchange for required support and regular review. This protects these individuals as well as those services meeting their complex needs.

BPhoenix Awards Click on the Books on Borderline Personality Disorder Below: Click on the Books on Antisocial Personality Disorder Below: What is a Personality Disorder? According to the DSM-IV, personality disorders are "enduring patterns of perceiving, relating to, and thinking about the environment and oneself" that "are exhibited in a wide range of important social and personal contexts," and "are inflexible and maladaptive, and cause either significant impairment or subjective distress." Personality disorders are found in 10%-13% of the general population. They are thought to originate in childhood and continue into the adult years and to be so ingrained that it is difficult to pinpoint an onset. Maladaptive personality characteristics develop over time into the maladaptive behavior patterns that create distress for the affected person and draw the attention of others. At this time the DSM-IV divides the personality disorders into three groups of "clusters." This method will probably continue until there is a strong scientific basis for viewing them differently. Cluster A is called the "odd" or "eccentric" cluster, cluster B is the "dramatic," "emotional," or "erratic" cluster, and C is the "anxious" or "fearful" cluster. Cluster A Disorders: Paranoid Personality Disorder: People with Paranoid Personality Disorder are excessively mistrustful and suspicious of others, without any justification. They tend not to confide in others and to think other people want to harm them. People with this disorder may be argumentative, may complain, or may be quiet, but they are obviously hostile towards others. They often appear tense and are very sensitive to criticism and have an excessive need for autonomy.

For persons without a personality disorder, personality traits are patterns of thinking, reacting, and behaving that remain relatively consistent and stable over time. Persons with a personality disorder display more rigid and maladaptive thinking and reacting behaviors that often disrupt their personal, professional, and social lives. What are the most common types of personality disorders? Generally, personality disorders are divided into three subtypes (or clusters), and include: Examples of odd/eccentric (Cluster A) personality disorders: paranoid personality disorder Persons with this disorder are often cold, distant, and unable to form close, interpersonal relationships. Often overly, yet unjustifiably, suspicious of their surroundings, persons with paranoid personality disorder generally cannot see their role in conflict situations and often project their feelings of paranoia as anger onto others.

http://www.eddylaw.com/vol2_no1_art4.htm

Extractions: Solving Family Problems through Mediation, Negotiation, Consultation and Family Court How Personality Disorders Drive Family Court Litigation I was first exposed to the concept of personality disorders in 1980 when I was in training as a therapist at the San Diego Child Guidance Clinic at Childrens Hospital. The DSM-III had just come out and Axis II of the five diagnostic categories required the therapist to diagnose the presence or absence of a personality disorder. (The current DSM-IV uses the same approach.) I quickly learned (often the hard way) that the presenting problems on Axis I (e.g. depression, substance abuse) were simply replaced by new ones, if an underlying personality disorder was not addressed in therapy. Now that I have completed five years as a family law attorney, I have frequently witnessed the same underlying issues in hotly contested family court litigation yet these remain undiagnosed and, therefore, misunderstood. As those with personality disorders generally view relationships from a rigid and adversarial perspective, it is inevitable that a large number end up in the adversarial process of court. Since more flexible and cost-conscious people nowadays are resolving their divorces in mediation, attorney-assisted negotiation, or just by themselves, those cases remaining in litigation may be increasingly driven by personality disorders.
