CONTROVERSY ASSOCIATED WITH PERSONALITY AND PARAPHILIC DISORDERS
Between 10% and 20% of the population experience personality disorders. They are difficult to treat as individuals with personality disorders are less likely to seek help than individuals with other mental health disorders. Treatment can be challenging as they do not see their symptoms as painful to themselves or others.
Paraphilic disorders are far more common in men than in women, and generally quite chronic, lasting at least two years. Treatment of these disorders usually involves both psychotherapeutic and pharmacologic treatments.
In this Assignment, you will explore personality and paraphilic disorders in greater detail. You will research potentially controversial elements of the diagnosis and/or treatment and explain ethical and legal considerations when working with these disorders.

Personality Disorders

This chapter begins with a general definition of personality disorder that applies to each of
the 10 specific personality disorders. A personality disorder is an enduring pattern of inner
experience and behavior that deviates markedly from the norms and expectations of the
individual’s culture, is pervasive and inflexible, has an onset in adolescence or early
adulthood, is stable over time, and leads to distress or impairment.
With any ongoing review process, especially one of this complexity, different viewpoints
emerge, and an effort was made to accommodate them. Thus, personality disorders are
included in both Sections II and III. The material in Section II represents an update of text
associated with the same criteria found in DSM-5 (which were carried over from DSM-IV-
TR), whereas Section III includes the proposed model for personality disorder diagnosis
and conceptualization developed by the DSM-5 Personality and Personality Disorders
