[SOLVED] Pathological Zone
The traits: Sensitive, Conscientious and Devoted correspond with which PDs (on that page)? Read thecharacteristics of those 3 traits (first page of each corresponding chapter in NPSP) and thencompare those traits to the symptoms listed in the DSM for the corresponding PDs (those are in a separatemodule if you need to reference them). Upon doing so think to yourself, “how does a normaltrait become pathological?” Attempt to explain in the post how these personality traits exist is normal andproductive fashion and what might happen that pushes these traits past the sense of normalcy intothe “pathological” zone? Would someone who scores high in one of these traits be more likely todevelop the corresponding PD, why or why not? What might be some protective factors and riskfactors? If you have these personality traits what might you do to keep yourself grounded so thatthese traits do not become too extreme? If the traits do become extreme how does that affect theperson’s daily functioning?
