The DSM-V currently recognizes 10 personality disorders and two provisional personality disorders (see below).

Research any of these 12 personality disorders and share your results with the class.

Within your post, tell a little bit about the disorder, share something that you found particularly interesting and/or disturbing about the disorder, and also provide a link to a case study associated with the disorder with an accompanying account of the highlights of this case study. As a reminder, a case study is an in-depth study and analysis of a single patient or a small group of patients who suffer from a particular disorder.

Please avoid doing one another student has done until all disorders have been used at least once - so be sure to read the message board before doing your research.

The following is a list of the twelve personality disorders:

Histrionic

Narcissistic
