[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The APA is clear that personality disorders are only applicable to 18+. They are by definition long-term patterns of behavior. See psychiatry.org for details. If your therapist is pushing the idea for a 14 yo, you need a new therapist. [/quote] She said the therapist was “exploring” which is not nearly the same as pushing. As the parent of a kid with a personality disorder, I sure as heck wished someone had mentioned the possibility that some of the things we were seeing *could* have been pd. Instead we got blindsided. [/quote] I agree. I am the PP who mentioned DBT. I wish someone had mentioned it to us earlier than 17 because I can only imagine the trauma we all could have avoided if we had started DBT sooner.
