The new Suite101 Personality Disorder offerings will include informative overviews of each PD type, the latest in PD research and reviews of new books on mental health.
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.
