Personality Disorders

The DSM-V currently recognizes 10 personality disorders and two provisional personality disorders (see below).

Research any of these 12 personality disorders and share your results with the class.

Within your post, tell a little bit about the disorder, share something that you found particularly interesting and/or disturbing about the disorder, and also provide a link to a case study associated with the disorder with an accompanying account of the highlights of this case study. As a reminder, a case study is an in-depth study and analysis of a single patient or a small group of patients who suffer from a particular disorder.

Please avoid doing one another student has done until all disorders have been used at least once – so be sure to read the message board before doing your research.

The following is a list of the twelve personality disorders:

1. Paranoid
2. Schizotypal
3. Schizoid
4. Histrionic
5. Narcissistic
6. Antisocial
7. Borderline
8. Avoidant
9. Dependent
10. Obsessive Compulsive (this is obsessive compulsive personality disorder, not obsessive compulsive disorder—two different disorders)
11. Passive-Aggressive
12. Depressive Personality Disorders
