Ten Personality Disorders and Effective Therapies
Understand what a Personality Disorder (PD) actually consists of and the ten specific types of them (identified by the DSM-5 TR). Such PD issues are rigid and last a long time. They impact on most of one's inner experience and observed behaviors on a frequent basis. They are notable by others because of the deviation from a given cultural pattern. An untreated PD can lead to significant distress and impairment.
They consist of the Odd ones: paranoid, schizoid, and the schizotypal. The Dramatic ones: antisocial, borderline, histrionic and narcissistic. And the Anxious ones: avoidant, dependent and obsessive compulsive patterns. Each of these Personality Disorders is distinct but one person can struggle with a few of them simultaneously.
In addition, gain insights into the four areas of functioning that are impacted by the Personality Disorders. Most clients with a PD can be affected in two or more of the following areas. The areas involve the way someone thinks (cognitive), the way they experience emotions (feelings), their interpersonal relationships at work, home or with social networks (friendships, productivity and significant others), and finally their capacity to control impulsive thoughts or actions.
Learn proven strategies for changing these very rigid personality patterns. The typical therapies involve using specific Cognitive-Behavioral, Biological and Psychodynamic or related techniques. Apply what you've learned to actual case studies toward the end of the course. Develop insights about the key challenges involved with recovering from any of the ten personality disorders that are covered during the class.
