    Here is a link with examples of a psychiatrist interviewing actors portraying the typified manifestation of each respective Personality Disorder. Its designed for trainee psychiatrists to recognise these P.D.`s in patients. Bear in mind these are stereotypical, or classical, manifestations.

    Produced by Dr. Donald Fidler at WVU

    Any idea how old these videos are?


    And are they really that helpful? For example, I've been diagnosed with Borderline PD, and I act nothing like the guy in the video. Also, in the videos above, the emotions are portrayed by mimes ... Need I say more!?

    Well no Borderline, Narcissist, Schizoid or Avoidant are alike. I mean I don't come off as the Avoidant girl either. In many ways I can be quite confident and even a little arrogant on some things. These videos were made in the early eighties probably. They were intended as a guide for trainee Psychiatrists to recognise P.D.'s in patients.Thats why actors are used.So they were not designed with the intent of helping people such as ourselves. However they I think its good that the psychological literacy of the general public is improved. It seems most people think Schizophernia is Discociative Disorder (Split personalitys).

    I agree with the Schizophrenia thing. And then it's complicated further by words such as 'schizoid' and 'schizotypal'. And to top it all off, Dissociative Identity Disorder used to be called Multiple Personality Disorder.


    No wonder people are confused!
