>>
>> Schizotypal personality, like schizoid personality, involves social

>> thinking, perception, and communication, such as magical thinking,
>> clairvoyance, ideas of reference, or paranoid ideation. These oddities
>> suggest schizophrenia (see Schizophrenia and Related Disorders:

>>
>> Cluster B: Patients tend to be emotionally unstable, impulsive, and

>>
>> Borderline personality is marked by unstable self-image, mood,
>> behavior, and relation****ps. Affected people tend to believe they were
>> deprived of adequate care during childhood and consequently feel
>> empty, angry, and entitled to nurturance. As a result, they
>> relentlessly seek care and are sensitive to its perceived absence.
>> Their relation****ps tend to be intense and dramatic. When feeling
>> cared for, they appear like lonely waifs who seek help for depression,
>> substance abuse, eating disorders, and past mistreatments. When they
>> fear the loss of the caring person, they frequently express
>> inappropriate and intense anger. These mood ****fts are typically
>> accompanied by extreme changes in their view of the world, themselves,
>> and other people-eg, from bad to good, from hated to loved. When they
>> feel abandoned, they dissociate or become desperately impulsive. Their
>> concept of reality is sometimes so poor that they have brief episodes
>> of psychotic thinking, such as paranoid delusions and hallucinations.
>> They often become self-destructive and may cut themselves
>> (self-mutilate) or attempt suicide. They initially tend to evoke
>> intense, nurturing responses in caretakers, but after repeated crises,
>> vague unfounded complaints, and failures to comply with therapeutic
>> recommendations, they are viewed as help-rejecting complainers.
>> Borderline personality tends to become milder or to stabilize with
>> aging. (See also the American Psychiatric Association's Guideline
>> Watch: Practice Guideline for the Treatment of Patients With
>> Borderline Personality Disorder.)
>>
>> Antisocial personality is marked by the callous disregard for the
>> rights and feelings of other people. Affected people exploit others
>> for materialistic gain or personal gratification. They become
>> frustrated easily and tolerate frustration poorly. Characteristically,
>> they act out (see Table 1: Personality Disorders: Coping Mechanisms)
>> their conflicts impulsively and irresponsibly, sometimes with
>> hostility and violence. They usually do not anticipate the
>> consequences of their behaviors and typically do not feel remorse or
>> guilt afterward. Many of them have a well-developed capacity for
>> glibly rationalizing their behavior or blaming it on others.
>> Dishonesty and deceit permeate their relation****ps. Punishment rarely
>> modifies their behavior or improves their judgment. Antisocial
>> personality often leads to alcoholism, drug addiction, promiscuity,
>> failure to fulfill responsibilities, frequent relocation, and
>> difficulty abiding by laws. Life expectancy is decreased, but the
>> disorder tends to diminish or stabilize with aging.
>>
>> Narcissistic personality involves grandiosity. Affected people have an
>> exaggerated sense of superiority and expect to be treated with
>> deference. Their relation****ps are characterized by a need to be
>> admired, and they are extremely sensitive to criticism, failure, or
>> defeat. When confronted with a failure to fulfill their high opinion
>> of themselves, they can become enraged or seriously depressed and
>> suicidal. They often believe other people envy them. They may exploit
>> others because they think their superiority justifies it.
>>
>> Histrionic personality involves conspicuous attention seeking.
>> Affected people are also overly conscious of appearance and are
>> dramatic. Their expression of emotions often seems exaggerated,
>> childish, and superficial. Still, they frequently evoke sympathetic or
>> *****c attention from other people. Relation****ps are often easily
>> established and overly ***ualized but tend to be superficial and
>> transient. Behind their seductive behaviors and their tendency to
>> exaggerate somatic problems (ie, hypochondriasis) often lie more basic
>> wishes for dependency and protection.
>>
>> Cluster C: Patients tend to be nervous and passive or rigid and
>> preoccupied.
>>
>> Dependent personality is characterized by the surrender of
>> responsibility to other people. Affected people may submit to others
>> to gain and maintain sup****t. For example, they often allow the needs
>> of people they depend on to supersede their own. They lack
>> self-confidence and feel intensely inadequate about taking care of
>> themselves. They believe that others are more capable, and they are
>> reluctant to express their views for fear that their aggressiveness
>> will offend the people they need. Dependency in other personality
>> disorders may be hidden by obvious behavioral problems; eg, histrionic
>> or borderline behaviors mask underlying dependency.
>>
>> Avoidant personality is marked by hypersensitivity to rejection and
>> fear of starting relation****ps or anything new because of the risk of
>> failure or disappointment. Because affected people have a strong
>> conscious desire for affection and acceptance, they are openly
>> distressed by their isolation and inability to relate comfortably to
>> other people. They respond to even small hints of rejection by
>> withdrawing.
>>
>> Obsessive-compulsive personality is characterized by
>> conscientiousness, orderliness, and reliability, but inflexibility
>> often makes affected people unable to adapt to change. They take
>> responsibilities seriously, but because they hate mistakes and
>> incompleteness, they can become entangled with details and forget
>> their purpose. As a result, they have difficulty making decisions and
>> completing tasks. Such problems make responsibilities a source of
>> anxiety, and they rarely enjoy much satisfaction from their
>> achievements. Most obsessive-compulsive traits are adaptive, and as
>> long as they are not too marked, people who have them often achieve
>> much, especially in the sciences and other academic fields in which
>> order, perfectionism, and perseverance are desirable. However, they
>> can feel uncomfortable with feelings, interpersonal relation****ps, and
>> situations in which they lack control, they must rely on other people,
>> or events are unpredictable.
>>
>> Other personality types: Several other personality types have been
>> described but are not classified as disorders in the DSM-IV-TR.
>>
>> Passive-aggressive (negativistic) personality typically produces the
>> appearance of ineptness or passivity, but these behaviors are covertly
>> designed to avoid responsibility or to control or punish other people.
>> Passive-aggressive behavior is often evidenced by procrastination,
>> inefficiency, or unrealistic protests of disability. Frequently,
>> affected people agree to do tasks they do not want to do and then
>> subtly undermine completion of the tasks. Such behavior usually serves
>> to deny or conceal hostility or disagreements.
>>
>> Cyclothymic personality (see also Mood Disorders: Cyclothymic
>> Disorder) alternates between high-spirited buoyancy and gloomy
>> pessimism; each mood lasts weeks or longer. Characteristically, the
>> rhythmic mood changes are regular and occur without justifiable
>> external cause. When these features do not interfere with social
>> adaptation, cyclothymia is considered a temperament and is present in
>> many gifted and creative people.
>>
>> Depressive personality is characterized by chronic moroseness, worry,
>> and self-consciousness. Affected people have a pessimistic outlook,
>> which impairs their initiative and disheartens other people.
>> Self-satisfaction seems undeserved and sinful. They unconsciously
>> believe their suffering is a badge of merit needed to earn the love or
>> admiration of others.
>>
>> Diagnosis
>>
>> Specific personality disorders are diagnosed based on DSM-IV-TR
>> criteria. The general criteria in DSM-IV-TR emphasize the need to
>> consider whether other mental or physical disorders (eg, depression,
>> substance abuse, hyperthyroidism) can account for the patient's
>> patterns of behavior.
>>
>> Patients' emotional reactions and their perspectives on what causes
>> their problems and how other people treat them can provide information
>> about their disorder. Diagnosis is based on observing repetitive
>> patterns of behavior or perceptions that cause distress and impair
>> social functioning. Because the patient often lacks insight into these
>> patterns, physicians may initially seek information from and
>> evaluation by others who interact with the patient. Often, physicians
>> suspect a personality disorder based on their own discomfort,
>> typically if they begin to feel angry or defensive.
>>
>> Treatment
>>
>> Although treatment differs according to the type of personality
>> disorder, some general principles apply:
>>
>> Family members and friends can act in ways that either reinforce or
>> diminish the patient's problematic behavior or thoughts; thus, their
>> involvement is helpful and often essential.
>> An early effort should be made to get patients to see that the problem
>> is really based on who they are.
>> Treating a personality disorder takes a long time; repetitious
>> confrontation in prolonged psychotherapy or by peer encounters is
>> usually required to make patients aware of their defenses, beliefs,
>> and maladaptive behavior patterns.
>>
>> Because personality disorders are particularly difficult to treat,
>> therapists need experience, enthusiasm, and an understanding of the
>> patient's expected areas of emotional sensitivity and usual ways of
>> coping. Kindness and guidance alone do not change personality
>> disorders. Treatment may involve a combination of psychotherapy and
>> drug therapy. However, symptoms typically are not very responsive to
>> drugs.
>>
>> Relief of anxiety or depression is the first goal, and drug therapy
>> can be helpful. Reducing environmental stress can also quickly relieve
>> such symptoms
>>
>> Maladaptive behaviors, such as recklessness, social isolation, lack of
>> assertiveness, or temper outbursts, can be changed in months. Group
>> therapy and behavior modification, sometimes within day hospital or
>> residential settings, are effective. Participation in self-help groups
>> or family therapy can also help change socially undesirable behaviors.
>> Behavioral change is most im****tant for patients with borderline,
>> antisocial, or avoidant personality disorder. Dialectical behavioral
>> therapy (DBT) is effective for borderline personality disorder. DBT,
>> which involves weekly individual psychotherapy and group therapy as
>> well as telephone contact with therapists between scheduled sessions,
>> seeks to help patients understand their behaviors and teach them
>> problem solving and adaptive behaviors. Psychodynamic therapy is
>> effective for patients with borderline and avoidant personality
>> disorders. Such therapies help patients with personality disorders
>> reorganize feeling states in themselves and think about the effect
>> their behaviors have on other people.
>>
>> Interpersonal problems, such as dependency, distrust, arrogance, and
>> manipulativeness, usually take > 1 yr to change. The cornerstone for
>> effecting interpersonal changes is individual psychotherapy that helps
>> patients understand the sources of their interpersonal problems. A
>> therapist must repeatedly point out the undesirable consequences of
>> the patient's thought and behavior patterns and must sometimes set
>> limits on the patient's behavior. Such therapy is essential for
>> patients with histrionic, dependent, or passive-aggressive personality
>> disorder. For some patients with personality disorders that involve
>> how attitudes, expectations, and beliefs are mentally organized (eg,
>> narcissistic or obsessive-compulsive types), psychoanalysis is
>> recommended, usually for = 3 yr.
