PERSONALITY DISORDERS IN THE PARANOID-NARCISSISTIC SPECTRUM
"
If we weren't so interested in ourselves, life would be so uninteresting that none of us would be able to endure it." (Schopenhauer) Paranoia occurs in two forms: (1) the "bad me" paranoid; and (2) the "poor me" paranoid. Paranoia affects .5 to 2.5% of the population. The "bad me" type tends to be more rageful and sadistic than the other type. Paranoia in all its forms tends to be organized around aggression, from sadomasochistic violence to lingering hostile mood. Paranoia is an insidious disease which develops slowly as a secondary personality characteristic, fuses into a more or less dysfunctional coping style, and may or may not become the dominant pattern. Psychologists suspect that the cause of paranoia is found in the mothering experience , in particular, the breast-feeding experience. Successfully breast-fed infants develop the capacity to feel supported and a tolerance for frustration. Unsuccessfully breast-fed infants (those who viewed the experience as "bad" in some way) develop a distinct inability to experience self-satisfaction, tolerance, and positive relationships. Internalization of the bad experience leads to the initiation of provocative and confirmatory interactions with others, mostly through splitting (seeing things as black-white, good-bad, weak-strong) and projection (accusing others of having the disowned aspects of your self). A full-blown "bad me" paranoid perceives threats in everything other people do, often exploding in manic, counterphobic episodes. A full-blown "poor me" type views the world as basically unfair and persecutory, countering their anticipation of discomfort with either antisocial behavior or grandiosity.

    Question: Do narcissists also suffer from eating disorders such as bulimia nervosa or anorexia nervosa? Answer: Patients suffering from eating disorders either binge on food or refrain from eating and sometimes are both anorectic and bulimic. This is an impulsive behaviour as defined by the DSM and is sometimes comorbid with Cluster B personality disorder, particularly with the Borderline Personality Disorder. Some patients develop eating disorders as the convergence and confluence of two pathological behaviours: self-mutilation and an impulsive (rather, obsessive-compulsive or ritualistic) behaviour.

    Powered by groups.yahoo.com Do all personality disorders have a common psychodynamic source?
    To what stage of personal development can we attribute this common source?
    Can the paths leading from that common source to each of these disorders be charted?
    Will positive answers to the above endow us with a new understanding of these pernicious conditions? Acute Anger Anger is a compounded phenomenon. It has dispositional properties, expressive and motivational components, situational and individual variations, cognitive and excitatory interdependent manifestations and psychophysiological (especially neuroendocrine) aspects. From the psychobiological point of view, it probably had its survival utility in early evolution, but it seems to have lost a lot of it in modern societies. Actually, in most cases it is counterproductive, even dangerous. Dysfunctional anger is known to have pathogenic effects (mostly cardiovascular). Pathological anger is neither coherent, not externally induced. It emanates from the inside and it is diffuse, directed at the "world" and at "injustice" in general. The patient does identify the IMMEDIATE cause of the anger. Still, upon closer scrutiny, the cause is likely to be found lacking and the anger excessive, disproportionate, incoherent. To refine the point: it might be more accurate to say that the personality disordered is expressing (and experiencing) TWO layers of anger, simultaneously and always. The first layer, the superficial anger, is indeed directed at an identified target, the alleged cause of the eruption. The second layer, however, is anger directed at himself. The patient is angry at himself for being unable to vent off normal anger, normally. He feels like a miscreant. He hates himself. This second layer of anger also comprises strong and easily identifiable elements of frustration, irritation and annoyance.

    Basic Anxiety
    According to Karen Horney, "basic anxiety" is the foundation of, or predisposition for, the neurotic personality.
    Neurotic Claims
    "Healthy wishes, desires, hopes, and aspirations are strikingly different from neurotic claims. In the latter, there is a clear quality of entitlement" (?).
    Idealized Self
    "Horney calls self-idealization 'a comprehensive neurotic solution '" - Bernard Paris.
    Shoulds
    A neurotic "unconsciously tells himself: 'Forget about the disgraceful creature you actually are; this is how you ' should be '" - Karen Horney.

    In speaking of Sigmund Freud in The Denial of Death , Ernest Becker connects pride with the causa-sui project
    The Neurotic Needs According to Karen Horney
    "In The Neurotic Personality of Our Time , Horney develops a new paradigm for the structure of neurosis. She is not concerned with neuroses caused by particularly stressful situations but with those in which 'the main disturbance lies in the deformations of the character'" (Bernard J. Paris, Karen Horney , pg. 103)

    "The Secret in healing Narcissism is not to heal it at all, but to listen to it. Narcissism is a signal that the soul is not being loved sufficiently. The greater the Narcissism, the less love being given." ~ Thomas Moore, 'Care of the Soul'. Q. Is it really possible to heal NPD?
    A. Anything is possible. You do not have to be a negative statistic on a probablity curve of people with Narcissistic Personality Disorder

    Another myth goes up in smoke The perception is persons with NPD do not seek therapy. According to Robert C. Schwatz, Ph.D. and Shannon D. Smith, Ph.D. , " The lifetime prevalence rate of NPD is approximately 0.5-1 percent; however, the estimated prevalence in clinical settings is approximately 2-16 percent."

    Group therapy activity at Huntington Beach, California for children 614 with ADHD and other forms of learning and personality disorders.
    http://www.netwest2.com/quest/index.html
    THE QUEST PROGRAM: Quest's therapeutic program uniquely combines behavioral methods, group therapy, recreational activities and instructional athletics to assist each child in developing new skills and eliminating those actions which create difficulties for them. By observing a child in a naturalistic setting, Quest staff are able to intervene as problems occur. Issues are presented to the child in a positive manner, helping the child to see the problem and possible positive solutions. Through instruction in athletics, each child builds skills and self-esteem. This enables them to participate with peers more effectively and successfully. Quest campers range in age from 6 to 14 years old. The typical Quest camper has above average intelligence and many strengths. They may experience frustration in their lives and poor self-esteem due to their perception of failure and lack of acceptance from peers. They might be kids that struggle in finding stable, good friends, in achieving consistently the goals they desire, a kid who comes home from school upset because of a sense of rejection or failure. Campers may have diagnoses of Attention Deficit Disorder, learning disabilities, adjustment disorders, anxiety, depression, or self-esteem problems. Children with more complex problems are not appropriate for Quest. Our campers do not look or act differently than other children. Problems they experience are more subtle yet significant in their effect on the child and the family. Without intervention, these children are at higher risk for more serious problems in the future.

    Rules!
    We like to keep the rules simple. We ask that you treat each other with respect. We all need to be treated nicely and we want this to be a friendly room. Talking behind peoples backs and mind games are not welcome. Keep the communication straight, take responsibility for what you say.
    We will allow a certain amount of foul language, and we also allow discussing triggering subjects. Many chats don't allow these subjects, so we felt there should be a place that does. Triggering subjects are for example suicide, self injury and drug abuse. If you want to talk about upsetting issues in the chat room, it's fair to give the room a warning what you will talk about so those who don't feel stable enough can remove themselves from the conversation. This is not a rule though. It's also good to know leaving out graphic details makes a topic less likely to trigger. For the forums write *trigger* in the subject field.

    Personality Disorders Dr. C. George Boeree A Personality Disorder consists of inflexible and maladaptive personality traits which interfere with day-to-day functioning and may involve subjective unhappiness. There are several general criteria:
    • Behavior that differs from cultural expectations in two of the following areas: cognition, emotion, social functioning, and impulse control Problems that are spread across a broad range of situations; Significant problems in social or work life; Problems that are relatively stable and date back at least to adolescence or early adulthood.
    Psychologists and psychiatrists have divided them into three broad categories, based more on overall similarities than on our understanding of their causes: Cluster A People who appear "odd or eccentric."
    • Paranoid PD Schizoid PD Schizotypal PD
    Cluster B People who appear "dramatic, emotional, erratic."
    • Antisocial PD Borderline PD Histrionic PD Narcissistic PD
    Cluster C People who appear "anxious or fearful."
    • Avoidant PD Dependent PD Obsessive-Compulsive PD
    The following descriptions of the personality disorders are from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (4th ed., 1994)

    Assessment and Management of Personality Disorders RANDY K. WARD, M.D., Medical College of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, Wisconsin Patients with personality disorders are common in primary care settings; caring for them can be difficult and frustrating. The characteristics of these patients' personalities tend to elicit strong feelings in physicians, lead to the development of problematic physician-patient relationships, and complicate the task of diagnosing and managing medical and psychiatric disorders. These chronic, inflexible styles of perceiving oneself and interacting with others vary widely in presentation.
