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.

TO PREPARE

· Review this week’s Learning Resources and consider the insights they provide on assessing, diagnosing, and treating personality and paraphilic disorders.

· Select a specific personality or paraphilic disorder from the 
DSM-5-TR  to use for this Assignment.

· Use the Walden Library to investigate your chosen disorder further, including controversial aspects of the disorder, maintaining the therapeutic relationship, and ethical and legal considerations. 

THE ASSIGNMENT

In 2–3 pages:

· Explain the controversy that surrounds your selected disorder.

· Explain your professional beliefs about this disorder, supporting your rationale with at least three scholarly references from the literature.

· Explain strategies for maintaining the therapeutic relationship with a patient that may present with this disorder.

· Finally, explain ethical and legal considerations related to this disorder that you need to bring to your practice and why they are important.
