Please select a psychological disorder ( Personality Disorders )…

Please select a psychological disorder (Personality Disorders) and two treatment approaches that you would like to research and examine in greater detail. Strive to give as thorough a presentation of the disorder and treatment modalities as possible.

This should include a historical account of the disorder; prevalence, causes, and characteristics of the disorder; and DSM-5 diagnostic criteria for the disorder.

The discussion of your two therapeutic approaches should include a general description of each approach, their evolution, how they are specifically applied to your selected disorder, and their advantages and disadvantages generally and in relation to your selected disorder.

Therapies for Personality Disorders

Psychotherapy is the main way of dealing with and treating mental conditions like personality disorders. Also called “talk therapy,” therapists deal with the patients by encouraging them to talk about their condition, feelings, thoughts, mood and behavior.

The expert group has analysed three psychotherapy approaches from the work available in the literature providing the basis for a scientific evaluation of their efficacy: the psychodynamic (psychoanalytical) approach, the cognitive-behavioural approach, and the family and couple approach.
