Opis

Personality is that which distinguishes or characterizes us as a person. Traits are often used to describe a person's personality. I prefer to use a person's needs when referring to their personality. Example: The need to please. Needs may be large, or small, or not yet discovered. On Axis Two of a five axes diagnosis, I put Personality Tendencies which I equate with Dynamic Needs. Example: The Tendency or Need to Control. When a need becomes so large in a person's personality that it dominates their thinking, feeling, and doing - we then have a full blown Personality Disorder. Example: The Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder. I cover the most common Personality Disorders - giving perceptual cues regarding what one might look for. In addition I give suggestions that may help us reduce the largeness of our relevant personality tendencies or needs to bring more balance to our personality. Keep in mind, our extremes can be modified to lesser importance, but to become "symptom free" is not attainable (nor realistically desirable).
