NARRATIVE
This presentation serves as the introduction to a series of planned seminars on specific personality styles. The seminar will review broadly psychodynamic perspectives on the diagnosis of personality organization and personality disorder. The emphasis will be diagnosing personality organization as an aid to conducting psychotherapy. Dr. Bennett will provide an overview of the psychodynamic sensibility in diagnosing personality disorder, highlighting the clinical usefulness of identifying and describing patterns of handling affect, defensive styles, and perceiving interpersonal reality. This discussion will include rationales for diagnosis (including cautions about the limits of diagnosis) and the importance of assuming certain “stances” in psychotherapy based on personality diagnosis. Dr. Bennett will also review the traditional tripartite psychoanalytic rubric of organizing personality development into psychotic, borderline, and neurotic ranges of organization, including the clinical implications for each. The presentation will then include a more in-depth analysis of some of the more prominent personality styles, including schizoid, narcissistic, histrionic, and depressive styles. As a result, the presentation will include emphasis on both level of personality organization and type.
