Clusters A, B, and C — Case Examples of Personality Disorders Create a case example depicting a disorder from each of the clusters A, B, and C. You will create three case examples in total. Keep in mind that clients with PDs do not often have good insight. For instance, a client with narcissistic PD will not come in saying, “I have a high need for admiration from others” or “I lack empathy.” Rather, the diagnostician has to infer these traits from the client’s interpersonal style and history.

Each case example should describe behaviors that lead the diagnostician to conclude a PD might be present. Please review Clusters A, B and C – Case Examples of Personality Disorders Scoring Guide prior to submission so that you aIDress all required grading criteria.
