|Yes( No( |

|A personality disorder is a severe disturbance in the characterological constitution and behavioural tendencies of the individual, usually involving |

|several areas of the personality, and nearly always associated with considerable personal and social disruption. Personality disorder tends to appear in |

|late childhood or adolescence and continues to be manifest into adulthood. |

|General diagnostic guidelines: |

|(a) markedly disharmonious attitudes and behaviour, involving usually several areas of functioning, e.g. affectivity, arousal, impulse control, ways of |

|perceiving and thinking, and style of relating to others; |

|(b) the abnormal behaviour pattern is enduring, of long standing, and not limited to episodes of mental illness; |

|(c) the abnormal behaviour pattern is pervasive and clearly maladaptive to a broad range of personal and social situations; |

|(d) the above manifestations always appear during childhood or adolescence and continue into adulthood; |

|(e) the disorder leads to considerable personal distress but this may only become apparent late in its course; |

|(f) the disorder is usually, but not invariably, associated with significant problems in occupational and social performance. |

|Phase-based treatment: |

| |

|It is useful to think of the treatment of personality disorder using a phase-based model of recovery, with a primary treatment task in each phase. For the|

|most part, each phase should be addressed before moving on to the next, with behavioural stabilisation (phase 1) being necessary to safely tackle phases 2|

|and 3. |

| |

|Phase 1: Stabilisation (Making Stable): this phase deals with safety, containment and promotion of self-regulation and control. The focus is primarily on |

|the present. Interventions with a principal focus on Phase 1 include STEPPS and DBT. |

| |

|Phase 2: Exploration and Change (Making Sense): this phase can commence once stabilisation occurs, even temporarily. The aim is to identify and make |

|changes to the factors which underlie the unhelpful behaviours. This phase can involve dealing with the effects of trauma and dissociation; treating self |

|and interpersonal problems; and treating maladaptive traits. The focus is primarily on the past. Interventions with a principal focus on Phase 2 include |

|trauma-focused CBT, EMDR and DBT-PE. |

|The PDS currently only provides trauma-focused work within the context of DBT. Sector psychological therapy services should provide this work in other |

|cases. |

| |

|Phase 3: Integration and Synthesis (Making Connections): this phase is not so much about changing existing psychological and interpersonal structures and |

|processes as putting new ones in place. The aim is to promote a more integrated sense of self and a healthier interpersonal environment – this may include|

|new leisure activities, occupational/educational activities, new roles and relationships. The focus is primarily on the future. Interventions with a |

|principal focus on Phase 3 include Vocational Rehabilitation and the CAS Day Service. |
