YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Life's first major traumas and the compulsive need to be seen.

The field of personality disorders is at an impasse, reflected in the competing diagnostic models in the DSM 5-TR (the categorical lists of diagnostic criteria imported verbatim from the DSM-IV-TR vs. the dimensional, descriptive alternative models, relegated to the appendices). We need to reconceive of cluster B personality disorders as posttraumatic dissociative conditions involving self-states (subpersonalities with pseudoidentities).

This seems to be the most clinically rigorous way to rid ourselves of excessive comorbidities and polythetic diagnoses. Recasting cluster B personality disorders as post-traumatic conditions which involve dissociation goes a long way towards resolving these outstanding conundrums and provides for hitherto absent efficacious treatment modalities.
