A pervasive pattern of distrust and suspiciousness in which the person consistently interprets the motives of others as malicious is characteristic of Paranoid Personality Disorder. The main difference between Paranoid Personality Disorder and Psychotic Disorders involving Paranoia is Paranoid Personality Disorder does not involve delusions, while Psychotic Disorders do. People with Schizoid Personality Disorder Are pervasively indifferent to social relationships, express a limited range of emotions in social situations, often prefer to be "loners," and usually function adequately in non-social situations. Schizotypal Disorder of the Personality is characterized by a pattern of social and interpersonal deficits involving severe discomfort with and limited capacity for close relationships, as well as perceptual and cognitive distortions and odd/eccentric behavior.
People with Histrionic Personality Disorder often act sexually seductive, have exaggerated though shallow emotions that shift rapidly, are easily influenced by others, seek constant reassurance/praise, and may consider relationships to be more close than they really are. Often preoccupied with fantasies of power and success, people with Narcissistic Disorder of the Personality display a pattern of grandiosity, need for admiration, and lack of empathy, which can lead to exploitative relationships. Borderline Personality Disorder is characterized by a pattern of instability of interpersonal relationships, self-image, and affect, significant impulsivity (e.g., suicide threats, substance use), and fear of abandonment/domination. The dominant defense mechanisms used by a person with Borderline Personality Disorder are Splitting, idealization, and projective identification. Developed for the treatment of Borderline Personality Disorder, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Emphasizes mindfulness, social skills training, and affect regulation.
A person with Antisocial Personality Disorder Must have had symptoms of Conduct Disorder before 15 y/o and demonstrate a pattern of disregard for and violation of others rights; some symptoms include lack remorse/empathy, impulsivity, irritability and aggressiveness, and deceitfulness. Another term used to refer to people diagnosed with Antisocial Disorder of the Personality is Sociopath. Avoidant Personality Disorder is characterized by a persistent pattern of social inhibition, feelings of inadequacy, and hypersensitivity to negative evaluation, resulting in limited social contacts despite a longing for contact and relationships. The diagnosis of Dependent Personality Disorder Is given when there is a pervasive and excessive need to be taken care of, leading to clinging and submissive behavior and fears of separation; people with this disorder often struggle to make decisions and take responsibility for their lives.
Typically, Codependency refers to a person's deliberate or inadvertent support of another's addiction or dependence. Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder of the Personality is characterized by a persistent preoccupation with perfectionism, orderliness, and mental and interpersonal control, which severely limits openness, flexibility, and efficiency. Reaction formation-defending against an unacceptable impulse by expressing its opposite-is a defense mechanism that people diagnosed with Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder most often rely on.
Anorexia Nervosa is characterized by a refusal to maintain age and height appropriate body weight, fear of losing control of one's weight, a distorted body image, and often amenorrhea; weight is usually controlled by restricting caloric intake or bingeing/purging.
Developed by Minuchin for the treatment of Anorexia Nervosa, the Family Lunch refers to family members and the therapist eating a meal together. Bulimia Nervosa is given when a person persistently binge eats and engages in inappropriate compensatory behavior to prevent weight gain (e.g., excessive exercise, self-induced vomiting) at an average rate of twice per week for 3 months. Bulimics are more likely than Anorexics to become engaged in treatment due to their awareness that their behavior is abnormal. A person who presents with an inability to recall important personal information, usually of a stressful or traumatic nature, and too extensive to be attributed to ordinary forgetfulness, would receive a diagnosis of Dissociative Amnesia. Dissociative Fugue is characterized by unanticipated travel away from home or work, an inability to remember some or all of one's past, and confusion about personal identity or the adoption of a new identity. Dissociative Identity Disorder (previously Multiple Personality Disorder) is given when a person develops at least 2 identifiable personality states that recurrently take control of the person's behavior, and the person is unable to recall important personal information to an extent greater than ordinary forgetfulness.
