Dr. George Simon on Character Disorders and Disturbances

In classical psychology, emotional and psychological distress is caused by internal, unconscious conflict. This conflict is eventually manifested in psychoneurotic symptoms. But according to Dr. George Simon, this traditional conceptualization does not explain what is happening in people with character disturbances and disorders. In this course, Dr. Simon explains the differences between classical neurosis and character disorder. He explains why typical insight-oriented therapy does not work with disordered individuals, and lays the foundation for an alternative approach. Highlights: • The classical definition of "neurosis" — and why it doesn't explain character disorder • Why traditional insight-oriented therapy fails with character disorders • Why character disturbance is a spectrum phenomenon • Direct comparison between the traits traditionally considered neurotic and the traits of character disorder • The difference between the defense mechanisms and manipulation tactics • Erroneous thinking patterns of character-disordered individuals • Common manipulation tactics employed by character-disordered individuals • How distorted thinking, problematic attitudes and manipulative behavior feed each other • How the goals and objectives of character constructive therapy differ from traditional therapy • The Ten Commandments of character development Course Information: http://www.lovefraud.com/characterdis...
