    Personality Psychopathology Chapter 14 Summary

    Chapter 14 discusses personality psychopathology, diagnosing personality psychopathology, and the personality disorder types. I specifically chose the narcissistic type of personality disorder, which describes the clinical characteristics of narcissistic personality disorder as “an exaggerated sense of self-importance, an exploitative attitude, and a lack of empathy” (Sue 391). A person with this specific type of personality disorder “requires constant attention and admiration, and have difficulty accepting personal criticism” (Sue 391). With that being said, it shouldn’t be a surprise to find that any type of conversation you have with someone that is diagnosed with narcissistic personality disorder would focus solely on their own interests…

    The Biological Characteristics Of Schizophrenia And The Treatment Of Mental Illness

    The biological model suggests that mental illnesses have a physical cause, for example, an illness which could have been caused by an infection, genes, brain biochemistry or neuroanatomy (Cardwell and Flanagan, 2005).

    Bio-Psychological Assessments

    Alcoholism or alcohol abuse disorder should not be defined by one specific biological, environmental or psychosocial factor but rather as a disease with many interrelated factors and symptoms (Oltmanns and Emery, 2015).

According to the DSM-IV the standards for alcohol addiction is a “maladaptive pattern of alcohol abuse leading…
