Cheryl S Rubenstein
Psychologist, PhD
I have worked with various personality disorders over the years. One thing I have found to make a big difference in how therapy goes is the nature of the therapeutic relationship, and this seems particularly true for work with personality disorders.

Dr. Ryan Kitts Schallon
Psychologist, PsyD
The word disorder is misleading. What gets called a personality disorder is almost always a self that organized itself brilliantly around conditions that demanded it — conditions that were often unbearable. The rigidity, the intensity, the patterns that keep producing the same crises: these are not defects. They are architecture. And architecture can be understood, respected, and — slowly, from the inside — redesigned. This work is long. It requires a relationship that can withstand what the person brings into the room. That is the point.
