In this discussion forum, imagine being at a party where everyone had personality disorders. After reading about the people at the party, determine the person’s personality disorder and support your decision with relevant diagnostic criteria.
Dawn danced into the party and immediately became the center of attention. With sweeping gestures of her arms and dramatic displays of emotion, she boasted about her career as an actress in a local theater group. During a private conversation, a friend inquired about the rumors that she was having some difficulties in her marriage. In an outburst of anger, she denied any problems and claimed that her marriage \\\”was as wonderful and charming as ever.\\\” Shortly afterward, she fainted while drinking her second martini and had to be taken home.
Justin wandered into the party but didn\\\’t stay long. The \\\”negative forces\\\” in the room were unsettling to his \\\”psychic soul-spot.\\\” The few guests he spoke to felt somewhat uneasy being with this aloof \\\”space cadet.\\\”
Sherry paraded into the party drunk and continued to drink throughout the night. Laughing and giggling, she flirted with many of the men, and to two of them expressed her \\\”deep affection.\\\” Twice during the evening, she disappeared for almost half an hour with a different man each time. After a violent argument with one of them because he took \\\”too long\\\” to get her a drink, she locked herself in the bathroom and attempted to swallow a bottle of aspirin. Her friends encouraged her to go home, but she was afraid to be alone in her apartment.
Elliott spent most of the talking about his trip to Europe, his new Mercedes, and his favorite French restaurants. People seemed bored being around him, but he kept right on talking. When he made a critical remark about how one of the women was dressed – and hurt her feelings – he could not apologize for his obvious blunder. He tried to talk his way around it, and even seemed to blame her for being upset.
Paul arrived at the party precisely on time. He made a point of speaking to every guest for five minutes. He mainly talked about technology and finance and avoided inquiries about his feelings or personal life. He left precisely at 10 PM because he had work to do at home.
Before entering, Rosie watched the party for several minutes from outside through the window. Once she went in, she seemed very uncomfortable. When people tried to be nice to her, she looked guarded and distrustful. People quickly became uncomfortable with her habit of finding fault with everything little thing you said or did. She seemed to be picking fights with people. She didn\\\’t stay very long at the party.
Roger wasn\\\’t invited to the party. No one really knows him very well because he rarely talks. In fact, he spends most of his time alone at home reading.
