Outline:

The most difficult population in mental health… clients with personality disorders.

  • The manipulative and possibly violent clients with Antisocial Personality Disorder
  • Clients with Borderline Personality Disorder who are out of control, have explosive emotionsself-harm tendencies, and cravings for chaos
  • The perfectionist clients with Narcissistic Personality Disorder who are quick to blame and combative to overpower you in session
  • Clients with Histrionic Personality Disorders whose intense emotions and need for attention test your patience and compassion

Traditional psychotherapies and medications don’t effectively treat these clients, so their resistance to treatment can leave you feeling frustrated, trapped, and even wishing you’d picked a different profession all together!
