THERAPY FOR CLIENTS WITH PERSONALITY DISORDERS
THERAPY FOR CLIENTS WITH PERSONALITY DISORDERS
Individuals with personality disorders often find it difficult to overcome the enduring patterns of thought and behavior that they have thus far experienced and functioned with in daily life. Even when patients are aware that personality-related issues are causing significant distress and functional impairment and are open to counseling, treatment can be challenging for both the patient and the therapist. For this Assignment, you examine specific personality disorders and consider therapeutic approaches you might use with clients.

WEEKLY RESOURCES
To prepare:
• Review this week’s Learning Resources and reflect on the insights they provide about treating clients with personality disorders.

THE ASSIGNMENT:
Succinctly, in 3 pages, address the following:
• Briefly describe the personality disorder you selected, including the DSM-5-TR diagnostic criteria.
• Explain a therapeutic approach and a modality you might use to treat a client presenting with this disorder. Explain why you selected the approach and modality, justifying their appropriateness.
• Next, briefly explain what a therapeutic relationship is in psychiatry. Explain how you would share your diagnosis of this disorder with the client in order to avoid damaging the therapeutic relationship. Compare the differences in how you would share your diagnosis with an individual, a family, and in a group session.
