Personality Disorders: Cluster B & Pathological lying
Have you ever heard of the personality disorders Histrionic and Dependent Personality Disorder? If not, you've come to the right place.
In this video, I discuss "cluster b" traits which includes histrionic, dependent, avoidant, and borderline personality disorders. In this video, I will also discuss characteristics of individuals with dependent and histrionic personality traits who may engage in pathological lying. This is the final video of the series on pathological lying.
It's important to understand how pathological liars interact with others. Some characteristics you may notice include but are not limited to:
Habitual/frequent lying that is consistent
Triangulation (which I will discuss further next week)
Listening to respond ONLY
Manipulating you into "playing" roles in their life
Seducing you
Exaggerating things to distract from the truth
Using emotions to control and dominate
Studying you and looking for your weakness
Rehearsing their lines and lies
There are also common characteristics of pathological lying that can be found in the following diagnoses:
-CHILDREN & TEENS:
Oppositional defiant disorder
Conduct disorder
Juvenile Delinquency
-ADULTS:
Borderline Personality Disorder
Narcissistic Personality Disorder
Antisocial Personality Disorder "sociopaths" and "psychopaths"
Histrionic personality
