For Jung in particular, the key mission of personality is to explore and integrate the unconscious with consciousness so as to understand a deeper meaning of one's individual existence. After a brief overview of two of Jung's concepts, the collective unconscious and the archetypes, this paper will focus on what he calls "the transcendent process" (Jung, 1960)
Similar to Maslow's concept of conceptualization, Carl Rogers' concept of the "fully functioning" individual illustrates the importance of a holistic personality development of a person. Rogers' fully functional individual requires that s/he must have the motivation to fully realize his/her need for personal growth and acknowledge the existence of positive or constructive feelings, thoughts, and behavior toward an individual, event, or thing (Buber & Rogers, 1997:77-8)
e., the occurrence of hysteria or fainting prevalent among women) (Freedheim & Weiner, 2003:322)
The latter field of study, personality, is what interests most people because it helps people identify what kind of people they are: their feelings, sentiments, attitudes, beliefs, and possibly predict one's behavior through these factors. Defined as the "enduring, distinctive thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that characterize the way an individual adapts to the world," personality as a field of study in psychology is characterized according to three dominant perspectives: the psychoanalytic, humanistic, and cognitive perspectives (Santrock, 2001:412)
185). They suggest that the cognitive effects of the disorder cause a patient to believe that other people are responsible for satisfying their needs, and represent themselves as helpless in "a hostile world without security" (Beck & Freeman, 1990)
They suggest that the cognitive effects of the disorder cause a patient to believe that other people are responsible for satisfying their needs, and represent themselves as helpless in "a hostile world without security" (Beck & Freeman, 1990). Cognitive behavioral therapy may be useful in treating and preparing patients for transference focused psychotherapy (Appelibaum, et
Characteristically a patient with BPD is recognized as having extreme mood swings and a poor sense of self-image that may lead to suicidal tendencies. Because borderline personality disorder is complex in nature and difficult to label, differential diagnostic criteria and theoretical orientations have been established for assessing the disorder (Cottrell & Jones, 2000)
Social workers and psychologists are increasingly seeking out new methods for treating BPD. The latest approach is termed dialectical behavior therapy which is a form of cognitive behavior therapy (Linehan, 1993)

The latest approach is termed dialectical behavior therapy which is a form of cognitive behavior therapy (Linehan, 1993). This form of therapy combines cognitive and behavioral techniques in a highly structured treatment protocol that has been shown as an effective form of intervention (Osada, 2003)
The specificity of borderline personality disorder remains in question however because patients vary in symptomology and personality despite fitting into diagnostic criteria (Cottrell & Jones, 2000). Some researchers have in fact suggested that dimensional rather than diagnostic measures of behavior might be more appropriate for BPD patients, including analysis of differential characteristics and dimensions such as cognition, impulsivity, emotional liability and anxiety (Silk, 2002)
al, 2000). A critical component of cognitive therapy involves individualized case conceptualization, which may help therapists organize information about a patient (Stenhouse & Van Kessel, 2002)
Someone who knows that the manual has been published by a medical association might find it very surprising that the latest edition of this manual has a portion on 'Personality Disorders,' in which a few of the disorders have been defined completely in form of aberration from the moral norms. The question is if it is possible that in fact the cluster B personality disorders are moral instead of mental? Is their addition to the DSM merely a coincidence of 'medicalization of morals'? (Reimer, 2013)(Alarcon & Foulks, 1995) The formation of a cultural axis has been advocated by a few of the authors to be an independent factor when it comes to diagnosing these psychiatric condition generally as well as the personality disorder (PDs) specifically
Those who suffer from the antisocial personality disorder can benefit a lot from the antidepressants, mood stabilizer as well as antipsychotics. Problem solving on the basis of solution as well as motivational interviewing are some other forms of therapeutic interventions (Angstman & Rasmussen, 2011)
It is not surprising at all that the amounts of distinctive psychiatric diagnoses which are described by the DSM-IV are almost double as that of DSM-II (Pincus, 2004). Cause of the Illness In the light of this argument, the present diagnostic criteria for DSM, it is not possible to identify the Cluster B Personality Disorders without the proper use of moral notions and terms (Charland 2006, 119)
Personality and even more the personality disorder is anticipated to have an effect on an individual's functioning and in some of the cases this might actually result in others reacting to the individuals with personality disorder. Therefore, it is logical to expect the individuals with personality disorders to react to their medical illness, treatments and doctors in different manner (Douzenis, Tsopelas, & Tzeferakos, 2012)

It is the powerful cultural influence regarding the idea of self-formation, its independence as well as the instant socio environmental happenings that their views are based upon psychopathology (Hallowell, 1934; Hamilton, 1971; Dohrenwend & Dohrenwend, 1974; Mezzich & Goode, 1994)
The article also presents biblical and cultural points-of-views regarding the disorder. Lastly, various viewpoints associated with the counter transference related to the treatment of the patients with these personality disorders have been addressed as well (Kraus & Reynolds, 2001)
Sadosky's ideas have been drawn upon by Nicolas Rasmussen (2006) and he has applied them to depression's history between the years of 1940s and 1950s, this was a time when psychoanalysis was at its top. It was suggested by him that the extended use of amphetamine as anti-depressant shows that there is a need to revise the categorical divide which exists between the psychoanalyst and their psychiatrist colleagues (Pickersgill, 2010)
