Some Common Personality Disorders in Children

Personality disorders are often difficult to be diagnosed in patients younger than 18 years because of their ongoing developmental changes. However, if the symptoms are pervasive, then parents mustn’t delay in consulting the specialist.

Some of the common personality disorders in children are –

Dissociative Identity Disorder – It is also known as Multiple Personality Disorder. It is a disorder where a child possesses more than one developed personality and has a different way of thinking, feeling, and acting that is completely opposite to his/her original personality. This results in an abrupt change in the way the child carries himself. Basically, they become another person in either extreme or complete way. You must have seen children growing up with their imaginary friend. They will either have an imaginary puppy as pet or will have imaginary friend named ‘Timmy’, whom their mom –dad and other family members are well aware of. This imaginary will watch television, play and even eat food with the child. But what if this happens more than often or when the child is grown up enough to understand that it is not real then it becomes a thing to worry about. Older children in the age group of 12-15 years indulging into these activities raises alarm. If this continues for long then everyone around begins to label the child or the teenager as crazy or delusional. Or, maybe, he/she suffers from a Multiple Personality Disorder.

Dependent Personality Disorder – Children afflicted with this disorder are excessive submissive and have abnormal clinging behavior and separation anxieties. They face difficulty in making everyday decisions and from time to time they need others to assume responsibility for most major areas of their life. They are reluctant in expressing disagreement with others because of fear of loss of support or approval, so much so that they volunteer to do things that are unpleasant for them or don’t feel comfortable doing it. It is difficult for them to initiate projects or doing things on their own because of a lack of self-confidence or motivation or energy. They are surrounded by exaggerated fears and are unable to care of themselves. You could see such children are dependent personality and need excessive support of parents and peer groups.

Anti-social personality disorder – In this kind of disorder children exhibit impulsive, irresponsible and exploitative behaviors, and highly negative emotions. Generally it is seen that children with antisocial personality disorder have fractured and insecure families. They fail to develop strong bonds and remain self-absorbed and indifferent to others. They lack appropriate role models and usually use aggression to solve disputes. Antisocial children choose similar children as their playmates. This association pattern usually develops during the primary school years, when peer group acceptance becomes important. Aggressive children are most probably rejected by their peers, and this rejection causes social outcasts to form bonds with one another. These relationships can encourage aggression and other antisocial conduct.

Confidence Gap $16.34 Too many of us miss out on opportunities in life because we lack self-confidence. Whether it’s public speaking, taking on a leadership role, or asking someone for a date, there are situations in which we just don’t feel equipped to handle the challenges we face. Russ Harris offers a surprising solution to low self-confidence, shyness, and insecurity: Rather than trying to "get over" our fears, he says, the secret is to form a new and wiser relationship with them. Paradoxically, it’s only when we stop struggling against our fearfulness that we begin to find lasting freedom from it. Drawing on the techniques of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), a cutting-edge form of cognitive-behavioral therapy, "The Confidence Gap" explains how to: – Free yourself from common misconceptions about what confidence is and how to build it – Transform your relationship with fear and anxiety – Clarify your core values and use them as your inspiration and motivation – Use mindfulness to effectively handle negative thoughts and feelings.

The Confidence-Man $13 "In "The Confidence-Man,"" writes John Bryant in his Introduction, "Melville found a way to render our tragic sense of self and society through the comic strategies of the confidence game.

Set on a Mississippi steamer on April Fool’s Day and populated by a series of shape-shifting con men, "The Confidence-Man" is a challenging metaphysical and ethical exploration of antebellum American society. Set from the first American edition of 1857, this Modern Library paperback includes an Appendix with Bryant’s innovative "fluid text" analysis of early manuscript fragments from Melville’s novel.

Confidence: Stories $3.46 In this brilliant debut collection, Melanie Little emerges as a bold new voice with ten smart stories that explore and explode the concept of confidence in all of its contradictory meanings, suggesting a very fine line between trust and treachery.

Singing with brightness and despair, the deliciously wacky and beautiful tenor of these stories rings true, but also surprises. In the indomitable spirit of confidence, Little reveals how vulnerable and delicate we all really are, and in the process joins the vanguard of young Canadian urban writers.

A study of an attempt to improve the reliability of teachers’ holistic scores of elementary writing through in-house professional development. $69 This study evaluated the effectiveness of a school-based training that attempted to improve the reliability of holistic scores teachers assigned to the writings of elementary school students. Seventeen teachers at one suburban elementary school located in the Southeastern United States participated in three training sessions that allowed for scoring practice and group discussions. The trainers, or presenters, were “faculty-experts.” A comparison of scores the participants assigned to students’ writings before and after the training was conducted. The analyses included t-tests that compared the participants’ mean scores to the scores assigned by raters from the state, a within-group analysis of reliability as measured by Cronbach’s Alpha, and percentage agreement analyses. The results suggested that the in-house training activities promoted higher inter-rater reliability of scores assigned to students’ writings by the teachers in this study.;This study also compared teachers identified as being highly confident writers with teachers who reported low levels of self-confidence related to writing. Prior to the training, the highly confident teachers’ scores tended to be lower than the state scores and the scores assigned by their less confident peers. During group discussions, however, the “high-confidence” group was just as likely to change their scores to a higher level as to a lower level, and by the end of the training, both groups demonstrated more consistent score patterns.
