Option 1:

First, provide a definition of Personality Disorder using your own words.

Personality disorders are a group of mental illnesses. They are unique in that they make having healthy personal relationships for the sufferer difficult. The abstract of this article provides a great description and definition of “personality disorder”

 

Please provide this definition and discuss when these disorders begin to typically appear and what the problems/limitations are.

 

Option 2:

First, read the article “Criminal Behavior Among the Personality Disorders.”

Second, answer the following questions:

 

There is a well-established link between criminal behavior and the presence of personality disorders. The majority of people with personality disorders never come in contact with a mental health professional, and those that do usually do so because they are seeking help for another psychiatric issue during a time of personal crisis, for example: being a threat to themselves, a threat to someone else, or after committing a criminal offense.

 

Research shows us that people in correctional institutions have higher rates of personality disorders.

 

Which personality disorder is named as being the most prevalent in correctional settings?

Describe this personality disorder – what cluster does it belong to? What are the symptoms?

CPSS 413 Wk 5 Discussion – Title

Post a total of 3 substantive responses over 2 separate days for full participation. This includes your initial post and 2 replies to other students.

 

You have 1 Discussion Question option this week – please answer it in a minimum of 175 words:

 

Option 1:

As we know, criminal conduct may be excused if the defendant was “legally insane” (or was not “criminally responsible”) at the time of the offense. In order to be found legally insane, the defendant must prove that, as a result of mental disease, he or she was functionally impaired in a legally relevant way at the time of the offense.

 

Read the article by Kinscherff (2010).

 

At issue in this article is whether a personality disorder should be permitted to nullify or reduce responsibility for a criminal act.

 

Based on what we’ve learned in this class and the information we learn in this article, what are your thoughts on this?

Should someone be excused from some criminal acts due to their personality disorder?

What if the crime was minor (like theft?) What if the crime was severe (like murder?)

Explain your answer.
