2 Definition Personality is essentially an enduring pattern of perceiving relating and thinking about the environment. Personality is the style a person adopts to deal with the world. Personality traits are stylistic peculiarities that all people bring to social relationships, including shyness, seductiveness, rigidity, suspiciousness, or passive-aggressive. Personality traits are flexible and adaptive. (Varcarolis, 2013: 214)

3 Definition Personality disorders are diagnosed when personality traits become inflexible and maladaptive and significantly interfere with how a person functions in society or cause the person emotional distress. (Vidibeck, 2014) Personality disorders are diagnosed when personality traits exaggerated and rigid to point that they cause dysfunction in their relationship. (Varcarolis, 2013: 214)

16 Treatment Medication Psychotherapy Behavior therapy Milieu therapy

17 Nursing Process

18 Assessment Assessment guidelines (Varcarolis, 2013) Assess for suicidal or homicidal thoughts. If these are present, the patient will need immediate attention. Determine whether the patient has a medical disorder or another psychiatric disorder that may be responsible for the symptoms. View the assessment of personality functioning from within the person s ethic, cultural, and social background.

19 Assessment Assessment guidelines (Varcarolis, 2013) Ascertain whether the patient experienced a recent important loss. PDs are often exacerbated after the loss of a significant supporting person or as the result of a disruptive social situation. Evaluate for a change in personality in middle adulthood or later, which signals the need for a thorough medical workup or assessment for unrecognized substance use disorder. Assess for current use of medicines and illegal substances. Assess for ability to handle money and legal history.
