Episode 35- Intro to Personality Disorders

What is the difference between a personality and a personality disorder? When do personality disorders arise, and what do they look like?  In our new series on personality disorders, we’ll discuss all of this and more. We’ll review the 3 personality clusters (cluster A, cluster B, and cluster C) and describe the 10 different personality disorders included in those clusters. We won’t just list off the DSM criteria here…We’ll give some vivid examples of each of the personality disorders to help you to differentiate them in clinical practice.
