Personality Disorders and Substance Use Disorders “What’s the connection?” 1 What is a Personality Disorder? 2 According to the American Psychiatric Association (APA), a personality disorder exists when an individual’s “personality traits are inflexible and maladaptive and cause either significant impairment in social or occupational functioning or subjective distress.” What causes Personality Disorders? There are various theories, but the leading ones hold that normal, healthy childhood development gets interrupted in some significant manner; One type of scenario in which this occurs is that of abuse or neglect – including severe emotional, physical, or sexual abuse. One perspective is that a personality disorder is like a “badge of courage” because it indicates that someone has survived much hurt. 3 Reframing the “problem” of Personality Disorders 4 One way to understand personality disorders is that the person coped in the best way they knew how, in response to difficult circumstances, and at that past time (typically during childhood), it helped them to survive. (i.e., ADAPTIVE) Reframing the “problem” of Personality Disorders 5 However, those old coping mechanisms tend not to work very well in adulthood, and have become ineffective, or MALADAPTIVE.
