services. In order to engage these people in
services it will be necessary to foster an attitude
of respect for their suffering and an approach
that recognises their dignity as fellow human
beings. Others may find the thinking, behaviour
and emotions of individuals
with a diagnosis of
personality disorder difficult to comprehend and
they may feel angry, frightened or dismissive at
their actions. However, individuals with
personality disorder can respond to treatment
and if treated with dignity and respect, can come
to trust and work with professional staff. It is
important for
professionals to provide a
personalised package of care designed to offer
the person an informed choice of possible
actions and encouragement to engage in a
process of change. This will not always be
successful and professionals may be challenged
by people who attempt to hurt or reject them in
order to maintain their emotional equilibrium.
The danger in this situation is that professionals
resort to stereotyping
of the individual as
incapable of change, which can result in the
individual’s exclusion from services.
