    Personality Disorders

    The second major category of reality-based disorders focuses on the client with faulty personality development.

    Unlike clients with an anxiety disorder, who believe that everything is wrong with them, clients with personality disorders seldom seek treatment. They see nothing wrong with their behavior and therefore see no need to change. Personality disorders are listed on Axis II of the DSM-IV-TR.
