Psychology Discussion Post: Personality Disorders
NPSP shows the spectrum of normalcy for the 14 personality traits identified within that book. The traits: Leisurely, Self Sacrificing, Aggressive, Serious correspond with which PDs (on that page)?
These PDs are no longer recognized by the DSM. Do some digging. See if you can find any information on them on the internet (cite your source), the older version of the DSMs had a few of these listed in the index so maybe try there. When you find that information use it the same way you did in the previous discussions to compare the personality traits to the actual disorders. Discuss where normalcy stops and pathologies begin. Do any of these PDs sound similar to the ones we are studying? Also do you think these PDs should be resurrected, why or why not?
The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
