One really good way a therapist can recognize they are in the presence of someone with a personality disorder is; does the client who is an adult consistently act like an unreasonable adolescent.
If the therapist does not address the behavior with appropriate executive functioning but is guided by the current cultural view toward celebrity status and tolerance,(which conforms to an over reliance of empathy) the reactive adolescent behavior of the client will take over the therapeutic process and create chaos.
The therapist must not be “allergic” to addressing issues by establishing and maintaining clear boundaries, not fearing the narcissistic emotional reactions of the client that are intended to avoid the self discipline that leads to growth.
In many ways those who are our leaders in this youth oriented culture resembles the therapist office where the therapist has lost control.
They not only incredulously advocate for reactive adolescent behavior but are terrified by impression that they will appear intolerant, unkind or at worst, uncool!
As long as this tendency continues, chaos will occur on a cultural and societal level; the executive headship has disappeared!
At this point in time, our culture is in desperate need for true leadership! Sadly, the current elite institutions have miserably failed at providing that guidance.
A call for a new institutions with a radically different perspective to replace the ones that are currently in control are desperately needed
