Personality Disorder

Personality disorders are enduring patterns that cause significant distress, and are more treatable than most people believe.

What is Personality Disorder?

Personality disorders are characterised by patterns of inner experience and behaviour that deviate from cultural norms, are pervasive and inflexible, and cause distress or impairment. Schema therapy is among the most effective treatments across personality disorder types.
