Anti-Social Personality Disorder:
Appear to be callous and unconcerned about how their behavior makes other people feel, they do not feel guilt or profit from experience (for instance punishment). On the other hand will tend to blame other people for their problems or to find a way of rationalizing what they have done
Because of their disregard for social norms, rules and obligations they act in ways that are regarded as unacceptably and grossly irresponsible
Cannot cope with a long term relationship, although forming one is not problematic
Cannot tolerate frustration and are prone to outbursts of aggression and violence
Anxious Personality Disorder:
Persistent and pervasive feelings of shyness, insecurity, apprehension and tension leading to restrictions in lifestyle.
Believing one to be unlikeable, undeserving, socially inept, and less important than other people leading to reluctance to get involved in relationships unless certain of being liked.
Over-concerned by the fear of being criticized or rejected in social or work situations leading to an avoidance of any activity that involves having to inter-relate with other people.
Dependant Personality Disorder:
Encouraging or allowing others to make important life decisions on their behalf and displaying a limited ability to make every day decisions unless given excessive reassurance and advice.
Unwilling to make demands on people, especially those people who play an important part in their life and by doing so becoming compliant and subordinate to other peoples wishes.
Feelings of helplessness and discomfort when alone and anxiety about being abandoned by loved ones due to fears of being unable to care for themselves.
Emotionally unstable personality disorder:
There are two kinds of emotionally unstable personality disorder – ‘impulsive type’ and ‘borderline type’. They both share the following characteristics:
A marked tendency to act impulsively without considering the consequences of these actions, for example engaging in unprotected sex or substance abuse.
An inability to plan ahead, coupled with a lack of self control and outbursts of intense anger, which can lead to violence and other extreme behavior, especially if impulsive acts are challenged or prevented by people around them.
