Select one of the personality disorders from the DSM-5-TR (e.g., paranoid, antisocial, narcissistic). Then, select a therapy modality (individual, family, or group) that you might use to treat a client with the disorder you selected.
Succinctly, in 1–2 pages, address the following:
Briefly describe the personality disorder you selected, including the DSM-5-TR diagnostic criteria.
Explain a therapeutic approach (CBT, DBT, etc) and a modality (individual, family or group) you might use to treat a client presenting with this disorder. Explain why you selected the approach and modality, justifying their appropriateness.
Next, briefly explain what a therapeutic relationship is in psychiatry. Explain how you would share your diagnosis of this disorder with the client in order to avoid damaging the therapeutic relationship. Compare the differences in how you would share your diagnosis with an individual, a family, and in a group session.
Support your response with at least three peer-reviewed, evidence-based sources.
Ive included a pdf article on DBT if you would like to use but you can choose any therapeutic approach.
