Patients with personality disorders share certain characteristics:

1. Except those suffering from the Schizoid or the Avoidant Personality Disorders, they are insistent and demand preferential and privileged treatment. They complain about numerous symptoms, though they frequently second guess the diagnosis and disobey the physician, his treatment recommendations and instructions.

2. They feel unique, are affected with grandiosity and a diminished capacity for empathy. Consequently, they regard the physician as inferior to them, alienate him and bore him with their self-preoccupation.

3. They are manipulative and exploitative, trust no one and find it difficult to love or share. They are socially maladaptive and emotionally labile.

4. Disturbed cognitive and, mainly, emotional development peaks in adolescence.    Read more...

Question by Kathryn Bauer: Gay and Lesbian Treatment Centers?
I’m trying to do some research for a paper in my educational psychology grad class. Are there such things as “treatment centers” for gays and lesbians to “teach them they’re wrong”? I’ve heard of such awful places in the past but when I tried to do research all I came up with was gay and lesbian friendly substance abuse centers.
