Week 10: Psychotherapy With Personality Disorders

Since personality represents who someone is at the deepest level, it is understandable that many people with personality disorders resist the idea that they have maladaptive patterns of personality traits. Even when clients acknowledge that their personality issues are at the heart of their interpersonal problems, they often find it difficult to change. As a PMHNP, how do you overcome this challenge and effectively counsel these clients?

This week, you examine psychotherapeutic approaches for treating clients with personality disorders. NRNP 6645 Week 10 Psychotherapy With Personality Disorders Assignment

Assignment: Therapy for Clients With Personality Disorders

Individuals with personality disorders often find it difficult to overcome the enduring patterns of thought and behavior that they have thus far experienced and functioned with in daily life. Even when patients are aware that personality-related issues are causing significant distress and functional impairment and are open to counseling, treatment can be challenging for both the patient and the therapist. For this Assignment, you examine specific personality disorders and consider therapeutic approaches you might use with clients.
