You are a licensed mental health practitioner who is also studying for your Ph.D. in psychology in Dubai. Following the economic downturn and the failure of several banks and financial institutions, you decide to complete your dissertation on the personality characteristics of CEOs in major financial institutions. Because you are in Dubai, an international financial center, you treat a diverse group of international executives and their families. Most of the treatment requests are initiated by spouses who complain that their partners are emotionally distant and unable to form close relationships. Your hunch is that these CEOs shared distinct personality characteristics which suited them well for high-risk business but make them ill-suited for family life.

Personality DisordersHaving a full, mature, healthy personality that allows a person to function in society and enjoy rich family and social lives is the hallmark of mental health. Conversely, a personality structure that interferes with these functions is referred to as disordered. This week, you will briefly review the ten specific personality disorders described in the DSM-5 using examples.Paranoid personality disorder- Edgar has never married because he does not trust others. He had several serious relationships, but all of them ended because he accused his partner of being unfaithful. He never had any real reason to believe his partners were cheating, but he felt that it was happening behind his back.Schizoid personality disorder- Oliver works the night shift as a janitor in a hospital. He likes this shift because he does not see many people and can be alone for the whole time. He feels uncomfortable engaging in relationships with others and displays little emotion when he engages with others.Schizotypal personality disorder- Oliver is very superstitious and has all types of large stones and windcatchers in his office to ward off evil spirits. His coworkers think he is odd, so they avoid him. Oliver knows that he is different from others and feels like he does not quite fit in anywhere.Antisocial personality disorder- Diego began torturing small animals that he would catch in his backyard when he was younger. He is now incarcerated for attacking his boss after he was fired for bullying in the workplace.Borderline personality disorder- Gene has intense romantic relationships that do not last long. Her current partner wants to end the relationship because she is exhausted by Genes impulsive behavior, but Gene has threatened to hurt herself if her partner leaves her.Histrionic personality disorder- Claire insists on being the center of attention at social gatherings. She is overly emotional and gets upset if others ignore her.Narcissistic personality disorder- Gregorys partner left him due to his lack of empathy, a constant need for admiration, and his habit of putting others down to make himself look better.Avoidant personality disorder- Jessica keeps to herself and feels like she is not as attractive or intelligent as her classmates. She has a difficult time accepting constructive criticism from her professors because she feels like she is being attacked personally.Dependent personality disorder- Erica is what most people would call a good wife. She never contradicts her spouse and likes that he takes care of her. She becomes upset when he travels for work for a day or two because she feels that she needs him.Obsessive-compulsive personality disorder- Steven likes things clean and organized.
