Adult children of narcissists adopt one of two solutions: entanglement or detachment. - Avoidant Personality Disorder
People suffering from the Avoidant Personality Disorder feel inadequate, unworthy, inferior, and lacking in self-confidence. - Axes of Personality Disorders
Personality disorders are like tips of icebergs. They rest on a foundation of causes and effects, interactions and events, emotions and cognitions, functions and dysfunctions that together form the patient and make him or her what s/he is. - Body Language and Personality Disorders
Patients with personality disorders have a body language specific to their disorder. - Borderline Personality Disorder
The fact that the Borderline personality disorder is often found among women makes it a controversial mental health diagnosis. - Brain and Personality
The DSM is clear: the brain-injured may acquire traits and behaviors typical of certain personality disorders but head trauma never results in a full-fledged personality disorder. - Changes in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM) IV
The DSM-IV considerably expanded and updated the introductory text while emphasizing dimensional models of personality and listing for the first time some of the dimensions espoused by the more important models. - Cluster B Personality Disorders

Children with Conduct Disorder are in denial. They tend to minimize their problems and blame others for their misbehavior and failures. - Critique and Defense of Psychoanalysis
Harold Bloom called Freud "The central imagination of our age". That psychoanalysis is not a scientific theory in the strict, rigorous sense of the word has long been established. - Defense Mechanisms

Mental health practitioners freely borrow tools and techniques from a myriad therapeutic systems. - Empathy and Personality Disorders

In 1990, Clark and a group of researchers constructed an instrument with 21 dimensions, based on the criteria of personality disorders in the DSM-III, on various scholarly texts in the field, and even on some Axis I elements. - Five Factor Personality Model

Maybe personality disorders are not objective clinical entities, but culture-bound syndromes. - Genetics and Personality Disorders
Are personality disorders the outcomes of inherited traits? Are they brought on by abusive and traumatizing upbringing? Or, maybe they are the sad results of the confluence of both? - Histrionic Personality Disorder
Most patients with the Histrionic Personality Disorder are women. - In Defense of Psychoanalysis
No social theory has been more influential and, later, more reviled than psychoanalysis. - International Classification of Diseases (ICD) 10
The ICD10 was revolutionary. It incorporated the outcomes of numerous collaborative studies and programmes, both national and international and included input from the American Psychiatric Association, the publisher of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM), the ICD's equivalent in North America). Consequently, the ICD and the DSM are now broadly similar. - Intuition
Intuition is supposed to be a form of direct access. Yet, direct access to what? - Is Psychology a Science?

The masochist has been taught from an early age to hate herself and consider herself unworthy of love and worthless as a person.
