You have 2 Discussion Question options this week – please pick one and answer it in a minimum of 175 words: 

 

Option 1:

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

Second, read the article ‘Personality Disorders.”

 

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?
