Personality disorders can arise through trauma, and they often carry added stigma. In this Discussion, you
analyze a case study focused on a personality disorder while also reflecting on how power, privilege, and
stigma affect such diagnoses.
To prepare: Review the case provided by your instructor for this week’s Discussion and consider your
differential diagnostic process for them. Be sure to consider any past diagnoses and what influence those
might have on their current diagnosis and needs. Finally, return to the Week 1 resources on stigma and reflect
on stigma related to personality disorders.
