3. Causes
There are numerous possible causes of mental disorders, and
they may vary depending on the disorder, the individual, and the
circumstances. There may be genetic dispositions as well as
particular life experiences, which may or may not include
particular incidents of trauma or abuse.
A study of almost 600 male college students, averaging almost 30
years of age and who were not drawn from a clinical sample,
examined the relationship between childhood experiences of
sexual and physical abuse and currently reported personality
disorder symptoms. Childhood abuse histories were found to be
definitively associated with greater levels of symptomatology.
Severity of abuse was found to be statistically significant, but
clinically negligible, in symptomatology variance spread over
Cluster A, B and C scales.[54]
Child abuse and neglect consistently evidence themselves as
antecedent risks to the development of personality disorders in
adulthood.[55] In the following study, efforts were taken to match
retrospective reports of abuse with a clinical population that had
demonstrated psychopathology from childhood to adulthood who
were later found to have experienced abuse and neglect. In a
study of 793 mothers and children, researchers asked mothers if
they had screamed at their children, and told them that they did
not love them or threatened to send them away. Children who had
experienced such verbal abuse were three times as likely as other
4. Treatment
Individual psychotherapy has been a mainstay of treatment.
There are long-term and short-term (brief) forms.
Family therapy, including couples therapy.
Group therapy for personality dysfunction is probably the
second most used.
Psychological-education may be used as an addition.
Self-help groups may provide resources for personality
disorders.
Psychiatric medications for treating symptoms of personality
dysfunction or co-occurring conditions.
Milieu therapy, a kind of group-based residential approach,
has a history of use in treating personality disorders,
including therapeutic communities.
There are different specific theories or schools of therapy within
many of these modalities. They may, for example, emphasize
psychodynamic techniques, or cognitive or behavioral techniques.
In clinical practice, many therapists use an 'eclectic' approach,
taking elements of different schools as and when they seem to fit
to an individual client. There is also often a focus on common
themes that seem to be beneficial regardless of techniques,
including attributes of the therapist (e.g. trustworthiness,
competence, caring), processes afforded to the client (e.g. ability
to express and confide difficulties and emotions), and the match
between the two (e.g. aiming for mutual respect, trust and
boundaries).
