Hello! My name is Tami Port and I recently moved into the position of Featured Writer for Personality Disorders at Suite101.
My Vision for Suite101 PD
The task of laying a foundation of basic information on PDs is nearly completed. By the end of the week, there will be an article on each PD type, cluster, as well as a couple of PD overviews. I also plan to cover closely related topics, such as co-occurring disorders and stalking behavior.
I would like Suite101 PD to be a go-to source for basic information. Here are some quick links so you can see what is currently covered:
Cluster A PDs (Paranoid, Schizoid, Schizotypal)
Cluster B PDs (Antisocial, Borderline, Histrionic, Narcissistic)
Cluster C PDs (Obsessive-Compulsive, Avoidant, Dependent)
Latest Research on PDs
As a college prof, I have easy access to scientific journals and experience interpreting research results. I consider one of my most important tasks to be presenting you with new PD research findings.
New research articles include:
Borderline Personality Treatment
Personality Disorders and PPMD
PD Blog, Discussions and Polls
Every week I will post a new blog to let you know what's new in the world of personality disorders. I also plan to stay involved in the ongoing PD discussions as well as create new discussion topics.
I will post a monthly poll that, I hope, will help me learn more about your perspective on PDs. The current blog, discussions and poll are displayed on the PD home page.
What's on Your Mind?
I invite you to communicate with me through the discussions or my link on the PD homepage. Let me know which topics you would like to see covered. I am excited to be a part of this online community and look forward to our exploration of PDs.
